I agree completely with how this is such a creeps-up-on-you type of pairing! I totally thought she'd be among the more annoying leads, which is my normal reaction to stalker types, but Mori turns out to be so strong and determined to protect Ueki that she just completely won me over. Girls tend to not get to do the "I will protect you" thing as often. Her fights didn't feel like a gimmick to prove "oh yes girl characters can occasionally fend for themselves" despite the fact that most of the others have a lot more uh, battle worthy powers.
BASICALLY, Ueki/Mori is cuter than cute and totally OTP OTP! and then I go :< whenever they get broken up in fandom. (...mostly... J-fanart, as English fandom is rather small at the moment) Thanks for the recs~!
