Let me defend the story a bit

Not perfect but also not as bad as some people make it out to be. Artist are people with extreme emotions and so are their muses. So it seems overly dramatic at times because typically artist feel emotions at a pretty intense level and for most ppl that’s a lot.

Also, Michiru does have character development because he choses MC on his own and wanted to experience love for himself. He also ruined the tattoo because he no longer wanted to be sensei’s art. His new tattoo is a collab with MC bc his self inflicted scars are the base (the roots and stems of the flowers) for the whole tattoo. MC even says this and Michiru also helps MC get recognition for his work and pushes him to NY even if that meant he would be alone. Those are all choices he made on his own.

Additionally, he’s encouraged by MC to attend Uni and MC teaches him English. It’s odd to say he has no development when he clearly started to think as an individual and got a BF all on his own with like zero life skills.

Before MC he legit did and acted in the way sensei told him to. He was an add on to sensei’s art, a breathing statue that has 1 request in his entire time with sensei, to get MC’s painting from years before.

Anyway, happy he has a chance to get educated and build a career for himself. Maybe as a model or something.
