SYNOPSIS
Himura Yuna and Fujiki Takeshi are childhood friends who decide to play a secret game: Yuna will be a princess, and Takeshi will be her servant. The most important rule of the game is that the princess' orders are absolute.
In high school, Yuna and Takeshi do not really interact with each other, and they don't seem like they are close friends. Yuna is at the top of the class, while Takeshi is at the bottom.
Yuna and Takeshi promise to play the game until someone else finds out about their relationship to each other.
REVIEW
Himura Yuna seems to be the perfect girl but she is actually not as good as she seems to be to other people. When she's with Fujiki Takeshi, she complains a lot, she is sarcastic, and she doesn't always say what she means but then she gets mad if he does exactly what she says he should do.
It seemed that Kanojo to no Tadashi Asobikata perpetuates the concept that people show their real selves to people close to them such as family and friends. However, if people have bad characteristics, is it okay to hold it in when out in public and then let it out when they are with other people they trust?
I used to also think that people are only truly comfortable with people close to them but then again, we can't always justify the bad aspects of our personality as something that can't be helped.
I think if people take the trouble to put their best face forward when out in public, shouldn't they also aim to do the same when they are with the important people in their lives?
I thought they both wanted to play their secret game but Yuna was the one who told Takeshi to play the game. Yuna has such a strong personality and Takeshi has a laidback attitude so he was sort of forced to play. But then again, I figured he wouldn't actually continue to play the game since he was a child until he is in high school if he really didn't want to.
It seemed that Yuna has fallen in love with Takeshi based on her actions but I didn't really get the feeling that Takeshi sees her in a romantic way. Even in the end when the two reconciled, I can't really tell if he went to meet her to resume their close friendship or because he is in love with her.
