I understood your point and yes Aqua is too typical etc, but I still prefer him because Keith seems a bit controlling despite not knowing her for a long time + I hate characters who abduct and do things against the other’s will... She clearly wanted to go back
For me, I would like to see a platonic relationship grow between Keith and Tiara sort of like siblings think that would be cute lol. Aqua and Tiara make a good couple... but homeboy has to step up his game(⌒▽⌒)
I agree *sight* they always make the characters tht r completely my type of guy/girl a second lead...sed(づ￣ ³￣)づ ┗( T﹏T )┛
2D, you say... He is a otome character after all lol.
Maybe it's just me but I kind of like Keith over Aqua. Even if their relationship is strictly platonic, I think Tiara and Keith could have a healthy relationship compared to the current relationship between Tiara and Aqua. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy the lovely dovey, heartwarming moments between Tiara and Aqua and I understand that abducting someone and forcing them to fall unconscious is very wrong. I'm just not very fond of the Male lead. I find him a little hypocritical, "wishy-washy", and just two-dimensional. Especially with this current arc, for a seemingly smart character, he's making senseless decisions that could easily break such a new relationship such as Tiara's and Aqua's. As a side note, I dont know much about this 'strong female lead', but I actually like Tiara. She's a pretty nice, developed character and I enjoy reading the manga because of her (and Keith lmao). I just wish the Male lead was written differently or eventually, Tiara will find her true happiness either through resolving the issues with the outcome game or with another character altogether. Sorry this is so long of a rant
