I’m feeling you except I just can’t share your love for SA. I have almost given up watching it, it feels like it’s gonna go nowhere. Hikari is not without charm, but she really is a brick who’s denser than your average male romance lead. Feeling somewhat sorry for a character played by Jun Fukuyama is just too weird for me.

Itazura is just great, I think it’s fantastic that something so simple and not very awesomely animated can charm so effortlessly. It’s my winner too, though I’m really loving Toshokan Sensou for being unique in its field.

Your post with Toshokan Sensou love just made my day, CCYoshi ;____;
Down with the TS cynics!

But anyways, I’m addicted to both Itazura na Kiss and Toshokan Sensou, with different fun levels, I’d say. While I find Kotoko and Naoki’s antics amusing (albeit really silly at times), I find myself placing Iku x Doujou amongst my fave couples list (it must be the tsundere-ness). Iku x Doujou FTW XD

Like Cameron, I'm addicted to Itazura na Kiss, probably because it's just so different from my normal fare. That or secretly I harbour the personality of a thirteen-year-old girl. But TS wins every time for the brilliance of its premise alone.

Toshokan Sensou 4tw!! The only good point about S.A. I’ll agree on is that Hikari stands out as a main heroine because everyone else in the show doesn’t (which is rather criminal imho, I’m getting rather tired of the focus on Hikari’s block-headedness and Kei’s “oh, I’m actually SO flawed!” and would rather watch more of the sloth than them -_-”). And despite my personal overwhelming bias towards Library Wars, Itazura na Kiss takes the King (Queen?) of Shoujo title for this season outright – now there’s a show that focuses on its main leads right.

Yeah, so I’m not sure what it is about Itazura na Kiss that I like so much, but I’m finding myself hopelessly addicted to that show. I mean Naoki’s a jerk. Kotoko’s incompetent. But… there’s just something about it that keeps drawing me in every time I watch it.
