i'm actually invested with this type of MC. like i feel like it's just diff subtext with this type of "weak yet emotionally strong-hearted MC who sacrifices themselves for their family" between guys and girls, maybe due to just societal gender norms/expectations from women versus men. like normally with dudes i don't get as invested in this type of MC. maybe it's also simply bc this is one of the first female MCs i've seen in this shounen, no-romance genre with this type of personality.
