yes honestly. it’s a really good series but it’s kinda hard for me to like hori when she seems so manipulative and hits miya constantly like that.
Maybe it's because I read it all in two days and forgot about it, but if I remember correctly, she wasn't like this in the beginning...
yeah she really wasn’t like that in the beginning :(
it feels a bit like the author lost sight of the start of the manga...
First, Miyamura. He started out with long hair and piercings, and sometimes showed a short-tempered side. He cut his hair because people were bad-mouthing his relationship with hori. It was hinted at that he used to give himself piercings because of self-hate, but the author never really came back to it after... Once Miya put back some earrings and Hori was angry about it? Why does she hate the piercings now? She was okay with them when they first started hanging out? Feels manipulative... The tattoos, too. Miya was fairly quick to show Hori and Toru his tattoos, but now he won't even show his friends anymore. I'd argue he's closer with his clique of guy friends now than he was with Toru when he first showed him his tattoos. Why's he still hiding them? There isn't really any point. Just show them and get it over with.
Let's continue with Hori. I'm pretty sure at some point later in the manga Miyamura was surprised Hori cooks well?? even though at the start it is very well established that she cooks because her parents are never there? By the way, ever since the parents showed up in the manga, they never left. I thought they were supposed to be absent? There wasn't really any explanation for their permanent return. Second, I feel like the author puts way too much emphasis on Hori's "sadistic" side. Why does she keep just hitting Miya when she's upset now? It's honestly annoying.
In the end, I still love the series. Every story will have flaws. But these were my thoughts on it.
