"Maison Ikkoku" (Rumiko Takahashi, 1980)

The main difference is in the argument of perihelion: (349) Dembowska has it in Pisces, that is why it is romantic and likes to fantasize, but it does not usually tolerate reality if it is presented with insensibility or lack of tact; whereas (16) Psyche has it in Scorpio, for that reason it is reserved and knows what it must hide to adapt socially.
