The Weatherman Is My Lover: Difference between revisions

A romance between a straight-laced newscaster and eccentric weatherman whose [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine|Boke And Tsukkomi]] antics form the core appeal of their program. Koganei is a talented newscaster whose misstep in covering a conflict-of-interest story got him downgraded to the early bird slot at Chou-Hayaoki TV. Amasawa in contrast is a [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl|free-spirited]] weather "fairy" on the program who does all his reports in elaborate [[Cosplay]]. Under Amasawa's influence, Koganei begins to become more comfortable with his place at Chou-Hayaoki and falls in love with Amasawa, but despite his apparent outgoing personality Amasawa persisently keeps everyone at a safe distance.

 

 

----

* [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]]: Thankfully it doesn't.

* [[A Storm Is Coming]]: Used both literally and dramatically. Amasawa is perfectly able to predict the typhoon that kills his parents, but wasn't able to convince them not to go when he warns them about it.

* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl|Cosplay Otaku Guy]]: Amasawa self-identifies as one.

* [[Gay Aesop]]: Very, very briefly (and humorously) appears when one of the ADs asks how they're supposed to act around Koganei and Amasawa now that they know they're together, and the other give a brief [[Nakama]] speech

* [[Genius Ditz]]: If weather prediction counts as an area of genius, Amasawa is one.

* [[Keet]]: Amasawa.

* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: In the extras, the cast and crew of the program go to an onsen. The ADs get the job of [[Ratings Stunt|secretly recording]] Koganei and Amasawa in hopes of [[Fan Service]] shots for the audience. [[Home Porn Movie|They end up with more than they bargained for]].

* [[Ill Girl|Ill Guy]]: Amasawa as a kid.

* [[I Will Wait for You]]: A rather mundane version, but Amasawa actually supports Koganei going overseas to work and convinces him that he'll be okay without him and wait for him to come back.

* [[Loners Are Freaks]]: Amasawa considers himself this way. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Koganei thinks they don't have to be alone]].

* [[Love Redeems]]:

* [[Kimono Fanservice]]: During the [[Hot Springs Episode]]

'''Koganei''': "Yeah...I mean NO!" }}

* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl|Manic Pixie Dream Guy]]: Amasawa to Koganei, although he turns out to be more of a [[Stepford Smiler]] than he lets on.

* [[Nosebleed]]: Discussed and [[Played for Laughs]]. One of the ADs notes that the group trip is exactly the same as a school trip, excepting maybe the students who get nosebleeds from overexcitement. Immediately thereafter Koganei thinks through the implications of being at an onsen with Amasawa and has one.

* [[Opposites Attract]]

* [[Prime Time]]: What Chou-Hayaoki is explicitly ''not''.
