No anime set here yet, maybe if they adapt something like charles dickens great expectations but with cute girls. Pip would be a cute shota, there could be 2 christmas cakes competing over pip in the form of the jilted bride and the convict/benefactor. The cold tsundere daughter would be competing too, along with his sister that raises him after we remove his brother in law from the story.

This is not the thread for such good ideas really.
