Ugh, the ingenue strikes again.

Yes it's yet another rant on those dratted prolific ingenues. They're so abundant in anime and manga I seriously itch to strike them once! Smack! They just HAVE to be clumsy, they have to be clueless of the dreamboat's affection for them, they have to be completely talentless especially when it comes to food and academics, and of course how can I forget, they have to be pathetic damsels in distress all the damn time. They must get bullied and betrayed by friends and non well wishers alike but look completely shocked and not take any action! Why?! Why could Watase Yuu not stand clear of this stereptype in Absolute Boyfriend after already having created the most legendary of its kind in Fushigi Yuugi! Sigh. Save me from the insufferable "energetic and cheerful" reigning shoujo.
