I also thought so. I think he didn't even try getting better. I mean, if you can't do something well, you ask, fo investment, etc.
I just couldn't with that character.
I didn't like that part when Takagi forbids him to meet with his friend and he was like "Sorry, I won't do something you don't like". He was a controller!!
Maybe you're right and we're too old to see this as a cute and romantic story.
Exactly! Forbidding him meeting his friends is the part that annoyed me the most. I mean, I've seen real-life couples and some of them having controlling BF/GF and they never ended up well. I wish to read a story about a matured couple. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance...
PS: Sorry for the late reply, went on a trip to East Asia and just came back...
It's not like people change completely overnight and it's unrealistic; however, not having any improvement is also absurd- the uke of the first story never got anything right till the end. And what with this shit about "i don't mind you controlling my life as long as you love me". The worst- trying to make it all cute by portraying it as a SxM relationship. SxM is NOT about a person not having a backbone. In both stories, it felt like the author just wanted a boyfriend to manage and control her life so she can be "in love" with him.
