"How can you date someone if you don't even like him?"

What I probably enjoy the most watching this drama, is probably Shuji's interest in and treatment towards Nobuta - from a project of popularity for his own curiosity we can see a new friendship developing, and this unique person (that is, Nobuta) changes rather shallow (at first) Shuji as a human being and creates deep understanding of values. The most amazing thing is, Nobuta isn't even trying to do anything like that at all, it's all just her mere presence and individuality that affects Shuji.
