"Tokyo Love Story" can be called the most classic Japanese love drama, the current Douban score of 9.4 points, 25 years after its release, it is still talked about. Among them, the most incomprehensible point is that the heroine "Akana Rika" is not only very beautiful, intelligent, and cute, but also so obsessively in love with "Nagao Kenji", and smoothed out the emotional trauma of Kenji (Kenichi Mikami, who originally wanted to pursue his first love goddess "Sekiguchi Rimi", did not expect to be taken by his own hair child "Kenichi Mikami", so his mood was very bitter and depressed, and Li xiang just walked into his emotional life at this time), why is Maruji unable to firmly love Lika? Below, the author will delve into the reasons for this.

Although in the eyes of the audience, Li Xiang is simply perfect, she is not only good-looking, good-natured, but also full of self-confidence, even enough to encourage the depressed friends around her to be high-willed. But if you put yourself in The Shoes of Maruji, you will find that there are actually some unsatisfactory places in Li Xiang's body. In the end, Guanzhi did not come together with Li Xiang, in fact, there is a certain inevitability, and the reasons can be roughly divided into two aspects: internal and external factors:
Tokyo under Mt. Fuji
Inner Cause: Kenji dislikes Li Xiang. Maruji is a young man who has just arrived in Tokyo from a remote county town, so his thinking is more traditional, and he likes virtuous and gentle women like "Sekiguchi Rimi", so he cannot fully accept the "open" and "independent" love concepts of modern urban women. In addition, he has just landed a job in the company's marketing department, and the priority is to work steadily and gain a firm foothold in the company, so he can be cautious in the company.
Li Xiang, who grew up in the United States, is far more open-minded than the people of Tokyo, and before She joined the company, she had already fallen in love with a senior company leader, which made a lot of rumors. Therefore, as soon as He entered the company, he learned from his colleagues that this girl had a bad reputation and may have "a leg" with her superiors. Although in fact, Li Xiang's relationship with the leader was serious and sincere, the leader was after all a middle-aged man with a family and a room. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, it is basically determined that Li Xiang and the leader are messing with the relationship between men and women. I would like to ask, for a girl of this reputation, how can the traditional conservative Nagao Kenji not have a little suspicion and disgust?

If anyone doesn't believe me, then you can think of yourself as "Nagao Finish", put yourself in the shoes of yourself: not long after you entered the company, there was a beautiful and open girl in the company who took the initiative to give you a hug and offered to sleep with you. Although you have slept with her and have a strong liking for her, whenever you think of this girl's rich love experience, the rumors of the company, and the woman who used to be your boss, won't you hesitate and imitate? In your mind, can this kind of girl really be compared to the goddess of first love in your heart?
If you still don't believe that Marubura has a dislike for Rika, here's an example. One is that after Maruji and Li xiang go to bed, they don't want their affairs with Li Xiang to be known by the people in the company; the second is that Maruji doesn't like Li Xiang and his family on the phone, and when Li Xiang proposes to go to Maruka's hometown, Maruji deliberately delays. All this can show that Maruji's love for Li Xiang is not firm, because there is a suspicion and disgust, so subconsciously he is a bit repelled by this relationship.

External causes: Finished not forgetting the first love. The first gentle and pure first love goddess in Kenji's heart is undoubtedly Miss Sekiguchi Rimi, and every time Rimi calls, Kanji will definitely arrive. Even when Rimi and "Kenichi Mikami" broke up and called Maruji and wanted to invite Marubura and Li xiang's lovers to eat and chat together, Kenji deliberately did not call Li Xiang and went to the appointment alone.
According to common sense, Kenji should have brought his girlfriend Li Xiang with him to the appointment, but he did not do so. This shows that in Kenji's heart, he always has illusions about Rimi, longing for every opportunity to be alone with Rimi, even though he has fallen in love with Li Xiang to a certain extent, but he can never forget his first love. After this, he has been hesitating between Li Xiang and Li Mei, he is both reluctant to Li Xiang and cannot forget his first love. In the end, Rika leaves in pain, fulfilling Kenji and Rimi.
Many people think that men love Akana Rika, so it is very unreasonable for Kenji to marry Rimi in the end. But if you think about it, the choice of complete treatment is precisely the most reasonable. Eventually, he gained a foothold in the company, was valued by his leaders, and married his first love goddess. Isn't that the best ending for The Cure?

In general: because Li Xiang has a rich love experience and a complex relationship between men and women, it is inevitable that the completion of the rule is a bit disgusted. He never forgot his first love in his heart, and for Li Xiang, at first he only played temporarily to make up for the gap in his feelings, but later he was indeed touched by Li Xiang's infatuation, so he gradually fell in love with Li Xiang, but he never thought about which girl he loved more. Until the end, before Rika was about to leave His native Ehime Prefecture, she gave him one last chance to think. But he was still hesitating, hesitating until Li Xiang was completely dead hearted.
However, one thing that is gratifying for Li Xiang is that After hesitating to the end, he finally decided to choose Li Xiang! Unfortunately, the man had left, leaving only a white handkerchief tied to the railing of the station.
