Actually, the topic of love is a little more reserved in japan. Even when the say they "love" someone, like daisuki or suki, I actually means "I like you" because to actually say literal love or something like "aishiteru" is to heavy and embarassing a thing for most people to say.
I honestly can say that there are Japanese who will go their entire life without saying "I LOVE you" to even their wife or husband, because "suki" or some form of it gets the message across without being to dramatic.
SOOOOO.... yeah, it takes forever for development partially because it isn't japanese culutre too be so blunt about your affection for someone. Thats why there is that stereotypical line of "B-B-Baka!... d-d-don't say it so bluntly...!!"
It is a cultural thing.
Ah thanks for clearing that up for me, I slightly forgive the Romance genre for anime now, it's a shame the culture is like that though..
Oh well, ToraDora delivered well for me.
