The Middleman's love

"You're ordinary, but special to me."

Jade is an extremely kind, gentle-minded, yet irritatingly dense man with seemingly endless enthusiasm and poditive energy.

Mai is the kind of good-looking guy all clichés are ready to tell you, you are too ordinary for him to love you.

So far, it is easy to get why Jade doubts Mai's feelings.

It is an hurtful, superficial thought though, as Mai makes appropriately clear. I really feel with him when Jade tells him, I does not like Mai like that instead of voicing his true concerns.

However, Mai falls for Jade hard and acts on it in ways Jade truly appreciates, but does not realize Mai's motive.

I have to say, I adore and admire Mai's resistence and persistence in his pursuit. He seems to have endless energy to overlook all of Jade's (mostly cute) density, after all that has to be tiring to a certain degree.
