Adventures In Cuteness: Gouriki Ayame

Gouriki Ayame

The universal dream for any awkward, geeky guy is the oft used story of the loser/slacker guy who suddenly finds himself being pursued by a pretty, spritely girl, the likes of which would NEVER be seen with a guy like that in real life is alive and well in the mystery/sci-fi drama MIRAI NIKKI-ANOTHER WORLD.

Gouriki Ayame and Okada Masaki

The tale of the pretty girl obsessing over a dorky guy (and having said dorky guy run away from the girl, another not-to-be-believed twist, there) has been used many times , this time the guy is played by Okada Masaki, and the girl is played by a spritely young girl I’ve only recently come to love, Gouriki Ayame!

What guy wouldn’t dream of one day having a beautiful, mysterious girl suddenly drop in on his life by materializing behind him and tapping him on the shoulder one day in class..

Then have said girl latch onto his side and profess that she’s sweet on him (and knows everything about him, cutely listing his favorite foods, habits, etc…) in a genki and energetic demeanor…

And then having this cutie make a point to fawn on you and happily follow you around each day...

…show up late at night outside your house to cheer you up when you’re feeling down…

,,,,and engage you in *ahem* some other things as well?

Well, if you were me, you would think you had suddenly died and gone to heaven, but more levelheaded people would probably have come to the same conclusion that Okada did…

Awww, poor sweet girl! She was only trying to cheer him up and be near him! 

Thankfully, she doesn’t let this admonishment keep her down for long!

I have to say, if the drama was all about Ayame and  Okada, it would be a sure-fire watcher for me, however, this show (actually about a bunch of kids with iphones that tell them the future) is turning into a mixture of LIAR GAME and CLONE BABY all in one- very weird and funkily directed, leaving me less with a mad-on for Ayame and more with a headache! We’ll see how long I can stick with this one…

Edit: Well, It looks like Fukuda Mayuko's also in this drama, so it looks like I'll be watching it for awhile....
