This is gonna sound stupid but I was so completely sidetracked by the romance subplot in Saiki-K. Even though the protagonist, who is also narrator with some level of meta-awareness, is constantly trying to make the romance subplot not happen.
A large part of me binge watching through to the end was to see if that would E V E R go anywhere. It ddoesn't.
I like it because the two participants in this crush are gods in their respective field; Kusuo Saiki is a master of all superpowers, Kokomi Teruhashi is a master of being beautiful. And yet the anticipated direction of attraction is completely reversed; teruhashi longs for Saiki because he's the only person not interested in her. This is done initially as a comedic gag, but the pure commitment to this bit throughout various different situations turns it into a tragic love worthy of Greek epics
It sees Teruhashi change as a person as well. Love which transforms is the most powerful kind. I like to think that the affection she directs towards Saiki is part of what helped him become more human.
Not to mention the romance between Kaidou and Yumehara.
I love how everyone grows and develops through the series.
