Reader’s Question:
Are there any anime where the childhood friend character with blue hair, who is generally considered a losing flag, actually wins?
Childhood Friends and Blue Hair – A Winning Combo?
So, I was browsing through the comments on a post about childhood friend characters in anime, and one caught my
eye. It was this intriguing question about blue-haired childhood friend characters who usually seem to be on the losing end of the romantic spectrum. You know, the ones who always end up in the background while the main character swoops in with some flashy new love interest? It got me thinking about the few exceptions to this trope. One suggestion mentioned was from “Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte ii desu ka?” – that’s a mouthful, right? But honestly, the character of Kutori is a fascinating case. While she does have some tough competition, her story arc really shines, making her a memorable character. I remember watching her interactions with the main character, and there’s this particular scene where she just breaks down after realizing her feelings. It’s both heart-wrenching and oddly relatable. And you know, that brings me back to my own life experiences. I remember being in a similar situation, feeling like I was always the friend in the background while others took the spotlight. There was this one time I showed up way too early to a friend’s party, thinking I could help set up, but instead, I just ended up munching on all the snacks before anyone else arrived. We all laughed about it later, but I often wonder if I was ever the “childhood friend” type in someone’s story. As I think about it, it’s refreshing to see characters like Kutori break the mold. It gives us hope, right? There’s something heartwarming about seeing the underdog win, especially when they’ve put in so much effort and love. What about you all? Have you seen any other blue-haired childhood friends who managed to snag a win? Or maybe you have your own stories of being the unsung hero in a friendship? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences! Let’s keep this conversation going in the comments!
