Yup, that chapter soured the “sweet but protective puppy lover” archetype that Haa-kun was written under to me so far. And this resolution chapter wasn’t the best. It was pretty much “ok whatever” lmao.
Idk why I keep getting dislikes for this opinion, maybe because a lot of people were so irritated with Naoto in the past volumes that they want him to be called out in any way lol
RIGHT like everyone under this thread is so valid cuz it really left a sour taste in my mouth about their dynamic and I can understand Naoto as a character immediately feeling bad for what he said but lowkey he should have stood on BUSINESS like I wanted that argument to last longer than a chapter because that was some serious shit that Hazuki said :/
Exactly this. I also don't like how Hazuki can be insensitive during sex sometimes too.
It's a good reflection of real life issues. Masculine characters who have issues always get forgiven the second they do something good and they rarely apologise properly, whereas feminine characters always take their crap and apologise for things even when they didn't do anything wrong.
This repetitive portrayal is so irritating.
The part with the kids was cute but the conflict resolution of the couple didn’t satisfy me like… wtf did Naoto apologize for lmao. He was probably just feeling bad about the situation itself and wanted to say sumn because he honestly wasn’t in the wrong in any way in this instance, and Haa-kun should’ve said more about his part in this. Seemed kinda brushed through, as if it didn’t even need to happen in the plot lmao. If anything made me like Haa-Kun less. I hate when “communication” really means both sides must make amends as if both did something equally as bad even if one side didn’t even do shit like huh?
