Yet another anime-like story idea

[Valles]

I'm having Okusama wa Joshikosei flashbacks. ^_^
That's good, BTW.

A dull, dead-end type of job for the nebbish {Lori gets him a better one somehow, something like he has a wasted talent that she would have gotten him to use if she'd been on time}

---

Maybe a patent attourney, like Calvin's dad? Having him as a writer might be a bit too cliche or close to home, although the national origin thing might work for explaining why he's stuck as a junior partner... Or that was the job he should have gotten, but being blocked from it was because of an ambitious so-and-so of a competitor rather than anything to do with his employer (the same company/firm as originally planned - maybe he got shuffled off as a clerk or something).

I'd like to keep her supernatural things limited to her arrival rather than making her a goddess, genie, etc. because our one free premise is Lori herself.

Hm. Well, this might present a little bit of a problem, because the way these shows seem to work is that the healing and romance all happen in the background of the sheer chaos the girlfriend has turned her beau's life into. OTOH, maybe Mr. Nebbish had a thing for bad girls, and she's some kind of cross between Kuga Natsuki and Kino Makoto. If we use the 'they had to raise her from scratch' option, then that'd make it easy to give her a real live background, with attendant fueding biker gangs, etc.
Plus it'd be a personality type well suited for shaking someone out of a rut.
*shrug* I dunno, that's just the personality type that my brain has latched onto for her.
And watching the trouble her daredevil side gets them into should be fun.
Ja, -n
