I think of romance as a guilty pleasure. It’s something to make you smile and feel all warm inside, especially when the past few days have been nothing but a relentless assault of not just bad news, but absurd news. But I won’t get into that; this isn’t the time nor place for it. Rather, I want to talk about my ambivalent feelings towards Honey Lemon Soda. I always go into every new season hoping for a chill, relaxing romance to follow, but as I watch this show, I find myself frequently rolling my eyes at Uka’s love life. But am I being unfair? Do I have a problem with taking shojo romances seriously?
