I don't think so. I love Tasuki as he is in the manga, and that includes his not liking Miaka. It was cool that some of the characters weren't in love with her (and more realistic by the way haha). And it was so not his thing to like girls! (well, that doesn't mean I'm assuming he is gay or something but...) That's why when he tries to rape her in the second part of the manga, I hated Watase -_- The manga was nice as it was til 13th wolume, I didn't like the second part (I didn't even read the whole part, because I was so digusted with the story with Tasuki ;_;)
Haha! Maybe we're getiing too old for her works indeed ^^ But I also like to read her stories.
I've the read the same ones except Eppo Mai, I only read the beginning! ;_; It was really nice, I loved the stupid guy the heroin was in love with XDDD (and guys are also Watase's problem: always the same kind! XD) And I've also read Appare Jipangu (published in France) and this one is soooo funny! It takes place in the Edo period but it totally stupid! XD There are some robots for exemple XD The heroin is nice and the male character is fabulous! For once it's not the same kind as Tamahome/Kyou/Touya etc... He has fair and long hair! ^^ And he is totally short-sighted so when he doesn't have his glasses he can't recognize people and that's so funny! XD Well, I like this one, but it is really short ;_; Maybe she was planning to make it longer but it wasn't a big success?

Ok. You won't regret it, Yakitate!!Japan is extremely funny XDDD And the hero is so cute! ^^
