Horimiya? Maybe it's an artstyle thing, but both of them still look great even when they're not supposed to. Especially Hori at home.

You guys clearly haven't experienced how this is actually done in most shoujo. They usually have the girl seriously act like this is some kind of horrible secret and that her entire reputation depends on nobody knowing about it, and not in a cute and endearing way.

Well, don't really watch or read most shoujo shows. So there's the misunderstanding, from the way you're putting it, you make it sound like it's apparently overused and awful.

Kare Kano, and it's actually really good. Not the manga though, the author's gone retarded by the end of it.
