Think it was the conversation we saw in the past with her grandpa(? I forget with these slow updates, sorry) that changed the shift in people's opinions.
Just checked, ch. 35.2
Personally I always took his word for
It. The very first time she faked gave him her kidney and he said he loved her, I believed him. I think that was chapter 1. So every action he made and his reactions to her were legit driven by love to me. Chapter 35.2 only confirmed what I already believed.
Also Unlike some readers, I don’t believe that there’s something wrong or false about being in love with one person and sleeping with other people. Especially not when the person you’re in love with doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. It only becomes wrong when the two are committed to each other, which they now are and he hasn’t been with anyone else since.
I mean, I believe people had their doubts because it seemed very rushed and obsessive from 0-100. Plus, considering his life/behaviour, he didn't seem like the type of person to actually truly love someone, on top of him seeming simply intrigued and humoured by her actions in the beginning. He is a killer, and a very cynical one at that, after all, with no real relationships nor commitment in his life. It's very understandable that people had/has their doubts about him and his true intentions/depth of his feelings - not at all only regarding the sleeping around.
Oh I’m not debating any of that.
@macarrones33 asked how we knew his feelings for her were real, so I only answered for myself. All I’m saying is I took his word at face value. And I mentioned the cheating because that’s the only point I’ve seen people who still dislike him bring up. Got all my feelings on the matter out.
Yeah, that's completely fair! I was just sharing a different viewpoint
when did y'all become so sure he really likes her?? as a genuine question. cos to me, there wasn't really a big change in attitude?? and he could be lying for all i know??? and i guess some things he says happen in flashbacks but idk.....i really don't know how to feel??? I didn't find myself thinking differently about kirishima?? i was suspicious of him from the beginning and still am?? what happened for you all to be so sure he's really smitten?? genuine question
