He is having inferiority complex, and was jealous of Noa, and I think he just wants to win something, so he is using underhanded methods, to win Haru over.
I personally hate the trope of guy who is an ass to a girl at the start, and then falls in love with her.
Still, like you said, he is rushing, why? Because he knows she likes Noa, but didn't realize it yet so is using this "trial" to confuse her more.
So fucking true, people keep talking abt how much they like him in the comments forgetting all the shit he's pulled. The more he tries to manipulate her, after alrdy coercing her into this relationship, the more I dislike him. Yeah Noah isn't fully aware/sure of his feelings and it's an awkward situation but he at least has some respect for MC and her boundaries
I think ppl like him, because ml in this story is kinda deadpan.
The moment he starts to show more character, ppl will like him more, the other dude is a brat, and manipulator.
no seriously and it makes me so mad like he COULDVE been a cute yk 2nd ml but then he had to do allat and now he pissing me off sigh like u said noa still isn’t fully aware of his feelings but atleast somewhat respects Haru and doesn’t force her to do anything she doesn’t have a full grasp of
FOR SURE!!!! Akato telling noa that they’re dating was definitely out of his inferiority complex and jealousy of noa… and it’s so petty for him to drag Haru into it too! I also hate the trope of a guy being an ass and then falling in love with her harder it pisses me awfff
I love akato sm but he’s so thoughtless when it comes to Haru and her feelings and it’s so??? If he didn’t pressure her into dating him, tried to kiss her without asking, and even BROKE the first rule of not telling anybody about their relationship then I’d be rooting for him but he’s being such an ass??? The fact that he didn’t consider her feelings about HIM and rushed her into accepting his feelings was literally bad enough… Haru so obviously needed more time to think about their relationship and how she felt about him and he was so wrong for doing allat! And of course she’s confused about how she feels about akato this is a trial relationship???? They’re TESTING the waters but he’s trying to act like they’re official… jfc. And like I love noa but this isn’t the case of me rooting for him I just want my baby Haru to be happy all these men pissing me off (except for noa my love)
