Hero!
There have been very few characters in anime that have made such an impact on everyone’s life as the can of coffee. This seemingly simple can has acted as the Swiss-Army-Knife of relationship fixes in anime. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to say you’re sorry, trying to get together with that special someone, heal someone’s broken heart, or take your relationship to the next level, can of coffee is there for you. The sad thing is that can of coffee is often ignored for all of its troubles; the can of coffee in the scre:enshot for instance just helped a young couple get over their awkwardness with each other, and how was it rewarded? Left on the ground! Hence, I aim to make a list of the shows that have benefited from the help of can of coffee (feel free to chime in with your can of coffee spottings):
- Hatsukoi Limited ep 7
- Boys Be ep 2
- Proposal Daisakusen ep 2
- Kimi no Iru Machi manga ch 30
So, you finally wrote an entry on it after the big twitter conversation.
You know, thinking about this more . . . there are several anime where this trope is subverted as well (the can of coffee fails.)
