Quote:Hikari did not string along Daisuke. Her cultural beliefs restricted her from explaining to him she wasn't interested. It would be rude of her to tell him she wanted to be just friends. The few times she flirted with Takeru were her attempts at getting Daisuke to get a clue about her feelings.
She definitely flirted with Takeru, which was a hint to Daisuke, but she also flirted with Daisuke, and that's where I have a problem with her. Maybe it was only in the dub, but I know there were a few occasions where she changed the tone of her voice to ask Daisuke to do her a favor (I can't recall them specifically). I'm sorry, but that's flirting. It's the worst kind of flirting, manipulation without affection.
