Looks like people in Japan are hopelessly romantic. Another anime/manga survey conducted by MyNavi went out to fans and asked what manga moments they wanted to experience. Both men and women wanted to experience an unexpected kiss from a member of the opposite sex more highly than any other manga moment. I guess power-ups don’t mean jack if you can’t get a significant other with them in the end, eh?

Of course, in reality, the journey to gaining a kiss is a tough one and can lead to heartbreak (or a beating/restraining order). Hearing things like this makes me wonder if some Japanese folks are a bit too caught up with fantasies because of harsh reality. One has to wonder if they don’t set themselves up with high expectations, then maybe reality wouldn’t sound so bad for them. Though some Japanese would argue that “real” romance is dead in Japan.

What I’m trying to say is that if anyone touches your heart, it’s worth looking into. It is fun to dream about pretty boys and girls giving you a surprise kiss though….
