I COULDN'T AGREE MORE WITH YOU
I mean. People can act like jerks and still have good intentions. Isn't showing his complex perspective more interesting than having a cartoon one dimentional bad guy? He's an interesting character in many ways, because despite caring for her he held her back and acted the most ableist out of most people we've seen (except maybe her brother's ex gf but we didn't even get to meet her).
People, especially young like that, do fuck up. It's refreshing to see him grow and stop being static in how he behaves and sees the world. I found people cheering for him irritating because I was like uuuh what is even there to cheer for? lol
But I like this growth moment for him tbh.
I do think he is an interesting character as a bad guy, I mean, me getting mad at him definitely shows that, I think so anyways.
Though, although he is young and can make mistakes, in my opinion, he was with her long enough that he should have realised that his way of caring for her was not right, then again no one really pointed out and told him off properly for his behaviour towards her.
His character development is nice to see, but should have happened sooner, I am just mad that he suddenly realises that he should have confessed before she got a bf. I hope he realises he's an ableist and was infantalizing her and apologises for it.
They gave us so much stuff to shit on Oushi for, then after 40 chapters they slap me in the face with this????? Look, I know he was caring for her in his own way but that way wasn't right AT ALL. The back story of why he acts the way he does, just doesn't make his character any better, I hate him just the same, maybe even more now.
He had like, what, 10+ years to confess but he was out here pining for that long. Now that she has a itsuomi, he suddenly feels like he has to step up and, what, confess???? WTF???? IS THIS BULLSHIT???? I CANNOT COUNT THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAVE WANTED TO STRANGLE THIS MAN!!!! THIS MAN IS SO FUCKING SELFISH ITS SO FRUSTRATING AND ANNOYING!!!
He never thinks about what Yuki wants and always pushes for he wants onto her, like that time when Yuki went out with itsuomi, the train station scene, like, leave her alone she has her own life to live and she doesn't have to tell you who she hangs out with all the damn time, she isn't a fucking baby. Like, why is he so mad for???? God I hate tsunderes, never understood why people like them.
Sorry for the long rant, if you did happen to read all of it.
