Might be a Deconstructed Character Archetype of sorts. ![]() Ashita Dorobou has an interesting variant of this trope.Subverts the usual Second Love part as Menma is the friend that died, and she came to Jinta for help accomplishing some unfinished business that's preventing her from moving on. Anohana The Flower We Saw That Day: Menma becomes this for Jinta, former leader of a group of childhood friends that have drifted apart due to the loss of one of their friends.It helps that more often than not, said ridiculous plans end up working. For this reason, not only he but everyone else who later joins their group is eager to put up with her ridiculous plans and her moments of Insane Troll Logic. In Angel Beats!
