>it's not really an Aipri specific thing
Not really my point, but I'm aware that japanese like these kind of stories but...

I disagree though. What feels like a mistake in this case is the constant insistence of Aipri trying to convey this story as a story of friendship, when it's more about closeness/intimancy than anything else. Those are different matters and it makes sense that Pripara became great story about friendship due their compromise of avoiding romantic elements (that Moriwaki book makes so much sense when comparing with Aipri now), and being careful around how friendships are formed in a way that I could totally see happening realistically.

People complains a lot about stories that are "Yuribait here and yuribait there" and blablabla. But if you stop to think about it for a moment, isn't Aipri "Friendshipbait" instead?

Anyway. I just wanted Aipri to be a bit more sincere but at this point it's far impossible already. Therefore, more TsumuChii when?
