"too nice and too naive"
Few people become a cynic by choice. But I'll choose a nice jolly person over a person that hates everyone and dumps his/her own problems on others any day. Imagine walking into a clinic and the doctor shouts at you like a brat because his kid misbehaves at home.
I'm not saying that what she's doing is right, because it isn't. Rejecting kindness and goodwill never ends well, especially not in shoujo manga, but I understand where she's coming from. All that bitterness is something to be expected and I'm all for Nanami to grow and mature in her own way.
On the other hand, Shiho is a two dimensional character for me. She's too nice and too naive and too blah. I'd just like a little more depth to her character. No one's ever that nice. Even the sweetest desserts always need a pinch of salt. Maybe what the story needs is a good jerkface.
Anyway, I find Nanami neither pleasant nor unpleasant. If anything, it's her desire to be a model which I find kinda shallow. But her attitude towards her classmates is, well, something she's dealing with on her own. She must be aware that her rudeness won't do her any favours, but if she's prepared to eat the consequences then she can do what she wants.
Similarly, Shiho can do whatever she wants. If her idealism is based on the idea that everybody is good inside/people can get along, then why not have her try it and see if she can get through to Nanami-chan. If she succeeds, then great, all sides have improved their attitudes and are happy. If she doesn't, then she's learned a valuable lesson about reality.
I see no reason to hate either of the girls, this is merely some artificial reality constructed by the author anyway. Whether Shiho's idealistic kindliness is right or wrong, whether Nanami's rudeness means she deserves to be ostracized, all these things are mere details under the control of the author. What I'm more interested in is what the point of this story is, i.e. where the author ultimately wants to take the characters.
Hopefully later chapters will change my perspective. This manga could do incredibly well or extremely poorly, depending on the choices the author makes.
Jeezus.
/end rant
But probably Shiho will be best friend of Nanami and save her from hopelessness and so on.
And also it gives shoujo-ai vibes from time to time but it is just Shiho's very very friendly and good girl actions. And she will end up with Souma for sure.
I kind of like the atmosphere manga has so will follow for a while...
