She is selfless and strong, in my eyes, and though persistent, never really comes across as annoying.

In Strobe Edge, Ninako is a pure, kind girl who questions herself and her actions while trying to pursue her feelings for Ren. However, there is actually a big difference between how I feel about who the heroine ends up with, though both actually make sense, to an extent. Note that the second guy falls hard, totally and completely. However, he gradually falls in love with Heroine. This guy is popular, flirtatious, and a player. In comes the second guy ( Andou, Kosuke Hiromitsu). Heroine is extremely determined and is convinced that she will only love first guy, so she tries to deal with her feelings (or act on them). (For example, already having a girlfriend, but for HS its really due to RIta and Hatori being childhood friends hence the latter is unable to see her as a love interest). First guy has certain issues that prevents them from accepting the girl’s confession. Heroine ( Ninako, Hatori) is in love with first guy ( Ren Ichinose, Rita Terasaka) and confesses to him. Let me highlight the respective differences ( blue for Strobe Edge, red for Heroine Shikkaku) The setting and plot are awfully similar, and in fact, the same. Shoujo manga has always been a gigantic heartache for me because I have a habit of shipping the underdog/second male lead character and it absolutely destroys me when the girl, despite this second guy unconditionally loving them so much, chooses to go back to the first, which may or may not be the best choice (note that this is subjective though) for them. I don’t actually normally do comparisons but I realised I HAD to do this for myself, or my thoughts will continually be raging through my head and my soul will never rest in peace.

Also, this is a spoiler warningso read at your own risk.* *Please go on tumblr/Pinterest to check out the above two manga if you haven’t tried them because my images SERIOUSLY DO NOT DO THEM JUSTICE.
