Then why was he such an asshat in the beginning ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

im kinda confused bout it too but i think i saw someone’s theory was that he is a good actor and he uses that skill to get people to react or act according to his plans—so in order to get her to show her true colors he did that. …even if that were true tho, still asshole moves

and i believe that theory i read was trying to rationalize why kirishima continues to sleep with other girls despite claiming to be in love with Yoshino and knowing that yoshino would never be okay with that (if she actually liked him back lmao).

…which yeah, he was actually using that last girl (nao, the model/actress he used to bait ozu kento in the last arc with the epic showdown: kirishima vs octopus tattoo guy and yoshino with a bike vs thug)

Its hinted yoshino felt something similar as in something being off like octopus tattoo dude. he is obsessive until he gets bored. he didn't really care about her. what sane person would think a funeral was appropriate for this? same reason he tested his school bully and tried to manipulate him, but became bored in the process and beat them all up.
