i think the whole point is that he had character development though. he realised that he has never actually communicated with Shima- which is why he rushed to fix his mistake. the end was basically him developing and evolving into a better partner and being more open.
it’s quite obvious that he was in the wrong the entire manga, which doesn’t actually need to be pointed out. it isn’t an unhealthy relationship anymore if they’re growing and communicating. they’re in university and newly in love. that’s the entire point.
I agree that it give Kaname the character development he needed but for me it felt glossed over by him expressing his love for Shima. It did solved the problem since it indirectly concerns the anxiousness they are having for each other but didn't directly tackled their miscommunication issues. Or maybe it might have felt rushed for me.
I agree with you. Kaname should apologise on the first place bcs he the one who started the problem. Yeah. He rushed to talk to shima at the end but he just state his feeling instead of admin his faults. Seems like everyone like the story, i guess
Kaname is so toxic and is a hypocrite that it really pains me to read the last chapter. The ending was appalling. These lines made my blood boil
" Look at me properly and talk about it. I won't understand if you don't say anything. I'll continue to be anxious."
This line was drop by Kaname. Let us acknowledge that all the misunderstanding started with Kaname. He caused Shima to become anxious.
For all those who would rather disagree with my opinion I would like to present points that really showed how bad the story was:
1) They had been dating for 2 years but Kaname can't still openly talk about things with Shima.
2) During the appeasement Kaname didn't even ask for forgiveness for the misunderstanding he had brought to their relationship.
3) Shima is so head over heels to Kaname that he let everything pass.
