Perfect Pear was only compared to Romeo and Juliet because it's the closest thing to it. I hated the Romeo and Juliet story, but loved the Perfect Pear because it's not the same. The concept of love is entirely different between the two for example: Romeo and Juliet is just a stupid teenager crush where emotions and hormones drove two people into a tragedy over a short period of time. The love in Perfect Pear was a love nurtured and developed over years; aside from Buttercup getting disowned by her father it was a happy love that ended with a marriage and children. The tragic passing of AJ's parents that happened much later had little to do with that story.
