I think you have written an excellent article! Thank you for sharing this with us.

If you will be talking about anime series under romance, I think it would have been best if you have put a series. You said so yourself that this series glorifies immaturity. There are may series under romance in which the characters mature over time and that is all because they fall in love. Why not have series like Kimi ni Todoke or Tonari no kaibutsu-kun be set in that genre instead?

This topic is indeed interesting! I think the real issue of plastic surgery stems from the concept of self-acceptance. If Han-na accepted her former self, she would not have gone under surgery. I think the major twist that made the story have a happy ending is that the guy met the Han-na way before her surgery and was already attracted to her. This is perhaps the reason why he still accepted Han-na after he discovered what she did. This makes the case different from the incident in China. The guy never knew the girl before hand. So I guess it was harder for him to accept the truth.
