For people who read the manga:

Is there actually ever going to be any drama in this show? Or is it going to be the current sort of fluff for the remainder?

I need to temper my expectations.

It remains largely fluff with some sprinkled in drama here and there.

There was a Bollywood movie called My Name is Khan about a Muslim guy with Asperger set around 9/11 that was really good. I can't really think of anything else featuring a legitimately autistic main character.

There was a really good show on Syfy called Alphas that had an autistic protagonist, though it was an ensemble piece so he was more of a main character instead of the main character.

Yugami-kun doesn't have friends is a good manga about a guy who definitely is autistic on some level. The guy is also incredibly awesome.

If we're talking manga, some people have conjectured that the female lead of Last Game has a mild form of autism.

Edit: wow, I forgot how bad the translation of the first chapter was.

Oh yeah, she definitely does seem like she is, but I think she isn't actually written to be autistic but her obliviousness is just exaggerated to an absurd degree for the purpose of the story. Whereas the MC in Yugami-kun seems to behave in a more consistent pattern with autism (though it's still conjecture.)

Arguably, the main female lead of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo could be considered autistic. Otoh, good series were asked for and this isn't all that good. watchable, but not much more imo.

I prefer the cosplay Takeo that's been going around. He had the perfect mix of strong features, giant body, and overall...squareness. Suna and Yamato look good though.

Okay, fine, this guy has a conventionally attractive face and glued-on bad facial hair instead of the proper non-standard manly good looks of the manga Takeo.

Agreed, though I really wish the girl had Yamato's hair color.

I am the sexiest poster in the world!

Considering that Takeo's like 2-3 times bigger than Yamato in the anime, I think they're doing the best they can under the circumstances. They really should have the right hair colors though, just start throwing wigs around dangit.

Macho Cafe was awesome. Also Suna has the same birthday as me, so that's pretty rad. I wish I had 1/5th his looks. I'm also glad we're getting the illness arc out of the way with Suna's Dad, I've been heartbroken too many times by that sort of thing and I really don't want Yamato to have a horribly ironic death by diabetes.

Also, given the slow pace of this couple, my big prediction for the finale is that they have their first kiss after defeating some kind of major relationship crisis, like a guy duping Takeo to try to get with Yamato or something.

It's difficult for people to accept this series is all about diffusing otherwise standard ~dramatic shojo~ tropes. I can't blame them at all considering how prevalent that bullshit is

I want to say that my favorite low-key thing about this show is how many friends Takeo really does have. Sure, Suna is his best friend, but he has the judo club, his classmates, several people who appreciate just how cool and friendly he is. It's a really nice change from "loving loser with no friends and a hopeless love life gets a girlfriend".

Also, we all know Suna is bro for life, but my favorite line from him was "Of course he has a girlfriend, Takeo's cool". :3: It's the little things that make this show feel so new and different. The dynamics are just refreshing all around.
