Perhaps unrequited love is not something that everyone goes through but it’s something that I think a majority of us have and the loneliness and brokenness that Hanabi suffers through is portrayed in such a realistic and beautiful way that viewers can’t help but be captivated. There’s also just the fact that she’s a young, confused teenaged girl who doesn’t know how to deal with loving someone she will probably never have - her childhood friend and now teacher Narumi. What makes Hanabi so enticing as a lead is the fact that, although she’s engaging in this friends with benefits deal with Mugi, she’s relatively new to doing something so, hm, “scummy.” It also seems that she’s pretty much a newbie at relationship-related things in general so all of these new, complicated feelings (accompanied with all this ~sexy~ stuff) are all the more captivating to watch. Of course, that’s not that big of an issue since both characters get enough time to be fleshed out into three dimensional people. While both Hanabi and Mugi are the main characters, I always felt like the series showed a lot more of the former than the latter.
