Executive Crush Status: Toda Erika

You know, watching the Tomohisa Yamashita drama Summer Nude, I really thought this was going to be the show where I finally fell in love with pretty actress Karina (whom I've always liked but never got to the point of obsession), but as each episode went on, though I loved Karina's character a LOT, slowly but surely I began to get that tug in my heart every time Erika Toda was onscreen! 

Erika Toda! My first instincts watching this show was that there was no way I'd fall back in love with her again with that short bob haircut, but I don't call her the cutest thang ever for no reason- she had her "Manic Pixie" persona on  all the way to 11, and though her character of Hanae was of a decidedly tomboyish vein, I found her stealing every scene she was in!

Erika gets the news that she's been awarded Executive Crush Status

 So yeah, watching the show each day I was like "no... must... resist... cuteness... charms....", but it was of no use, and by episode 4, it was clear that my dear, darling Erika had been turned back into another crush of the day and it was time to promote her to "Zdorama's Executive Crush Status", that distinguished and totally inconsequential award ranking I've created which includes a few other past Crush Of The Day girls like Satomi Ishihara and Keiko Kitagawa! 

 So far it's all well and good, but what happens when I fall in love with her AGAIN? Executive EXECUTIVE Crush Status? Lifetime Achievement Award? Only time will tell....
In the meantime, enjoy the liberal Tomboyish Erika Toda Picspam, all of her turn as the adorable Hanae in Summer Nude!
