It portrays romance in a way I hadn’t seen before. The main character is bold and straightforward, and some scenes are daring or a bit controversial (but that’s what makes the series so interesting).
I haven’t seen a romance like this before: two very different people drawn to each other with moments of tension and risk, demonstrating that opposites often attract. There are some truly emotional scenes, like Mei's desperate call for help to Yamato when she is being stalked by a pervert, despite her reluctance to rely on him, is memorable. There are also bold moments like when he kisses her repeatedly to prove his feelings are true.
I believe that when we remember an anime we’ve watched in the past and specific scenes come to mind, it means it has left a lasting, positive impression on us. When I think of Suki tte Ii na yo, two words come to mind: daring and loyalty.
Daring, because the main character repeatedly breaks the rules to show her that he loves her—even if it means kissing her without her consent.
Loyalty, because despite Yamato being very popular among girls, he never gives in and focuses solely on Mei.
Those are moments I’ll always look back on with a smile.
If you enjoy romance this is an anime I wholeheartedly recommend.
