Just so good

Also, just... I really love how Fourze's storytelling boiled down to its basics is just Teen Dramedy Tropes But Monsters. This whole Nadeshiko story is just, like, a foreign exchange student comes to Amanogawa High, Gentaro gets a crush, their cultural differences cause friction between Gentaro and his friends, eventually Gentaro gets everyone to see his girlfriend for what they all have in common, she goes back home. The twist is that she's non-sentient girl-shaped space goo, but the bones of the story are, like, Teen Dramedy 101.

I love that Fourze's approach to teen storytelling with monsters is just straight-up teen storytelling, with monsters.
