Sadly to say I didn't find what I was looking for.
I watched this dubbed but I'm sure watching it subbed wouldn't have mattered too much anyway. But for the dubbed version, the voice acting was so terrible that it took out any emotion they were trying to convey.
Yukari was such a bitch I didn't see any growth in her. She was a teen with no identity and acted as a robot for her mom. But even when she rebelled she acted stupidly. The stupidest line in this entire anime from her was "There's no point in fishing high school if you're not going to go to college."
George didn't seem like a teen. He seemed much older. Not to say he was mature though. He was a jerk who tried to come off as cool but was just as boring to watching. I didn't see or feel any kind of chemistry between him and Yukari.
Miwako, like some characters, reminded me of characters from Nana, not surprise there, She reminded me of Misato. But Misato did not have an annoying, fake voice in the dubbed version and she came off as much more mature for a kid. Her relationship with Arashi was a little interesting but they didn't show as many scenes with them for me to care enough.
Arashi reminds me of Nobu, but of course, Nobu, like most of the Nana characters, are much more mature. This guy who ironically had safety pins for piercings was a typical, cliche jerk who happened to be the "voice of reason".
That Hiro guy was the most annoying busybody.
I feel like the anime had potential if it had gone a different route and had more episodes. But in the end, it just didn't work for me.
