I completed Love Through A Prism over the past week. It is a very standard shoujo romances, following all the common tropes like:
mild spoiler for Love Through a Prism
- the MC is a “commoner”, but is extremely talented
- the MC enrol in a school far from her hometown
- the main love interest is of noble birth
- the main love interest has a fiance
- the fiance is a stereotypical “villainess” who bullies MC
- etc, etc (there are too many points; too lazy to list them all )
I usually don’t care for vanilla, but the meta has been villainess for so long that vanilla looped right back around to being refreshing.
What made it stood out from similar works is its production value. IMO it is on par with the top-tiers of this season.
So even though it’s “nothing special”, I enjoyed it quite a bit. If vanilla shoujo is your cup of tea, consider checking it out.
I watched Akira for the first time last night…

Tbh I’m looking for something with the vibe of BSD.
Or with characters similar to Dazai.
