I thought people on tw get over this already its been years. Like aint it obv why he rejected futaba he already said it he afraid that he gonna mke futaba hurt. I think its better that futaba break up with the orange hair guy than him having a one sided feelings ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ .
Like he's not even bad the only bad things he ever did is rejected futaba (its not even a bad thing lol) And even he got mad with himself . Like they didn't realize orange hair guy was the one that manipulated futaba into gettin in a relationship with him despite him knowing that futaba still have feelings to kou #－.－)
They literally ignore the fact that kou have trauma into accepting and love new people in his life. Like blame the short hair mf instead for keep dragging kou back into his trauma.(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
So I've seen a lot of Kou hate on TW and decided to re-read and gotta say, it's okay to dislike a character without mischaracterizing them. He's far from the worst MLs and just a depressive teen who was manipulated by his friend into rejecting her.
