yeah, i get the same feeling. ig is to build the character in a more deep and sympathetic way. I hated him in the first story, but now i can know him and understand him - ofc that doesn't mean his violent actions can be washed off.
Does anyone else feel like the Masaki we see here and the Masaki from the first manga are a little bit like different people? Maybe his character was tweaked a little so this story could run more smoothly, but I feel like this Masaki would think it's too much work to blackmail someone and would just beat them up until they agreed to date him. Maybe I'm just thrown off by the fact that Masaki hasn't really smiled at all in this manga, but was pretty friendly (although in an aggressive and unpleasant way) in the other story.
