I remember awhile back everyone was talking about how some high-school boys in anime seem to run away from girls. Well, I'm reading a manga series now that kind of exemplifies that. (There is a short 3 part ova series for it, so it counts here, shut up.)
It's Nozo x Kimi (Nozomi x Kimio). The main character is a boy that gets trapped, by accident, in a locker in the girl's dressing room. Nozomi, an aloof yet pretty girl with no friends, finds him but doesn't tell on him. Instead, she blackmails him.
That's pretty bad, isn't it? I mean, blackmail is never right, that's true.
But the thing she blackmails him into? As they live directly across from one another, she makes him open his curtain every night and watch her pose in her underwear (or less). Yes, that's right, every night he is required to watch the prettiest girl in the class parade around half naked.
His reaction? He spends the rest of the time complaining and cursing his fate. That poor bastard.
Now, I understand some of that from a storytelling perspective, and the manga itself is pretty good, but watching a guy in high school yelling at a girl for exposing herself to him is really, really odd.
