Don't quite understand why people hate on Kou but maybe it's because the older I get the more I appreciate flawed, imperfect character's like him. He is a 16 year old teen that got emotionally manipulated by a toxic friend just as he was starting to move on from his mother's death. She triggered his PTSD, dragged him down and Kou felt guilty for not prioritising his mother's death!! We even see him reaching out to Futaba to talk, asking her what he should do but sadly Narumi and Touma gotten into her head so she didn't, asking to be rejected by him instead. It's only thanks to futaba he realised time doesn't stand still and that it's okay to move on, to be happy and to be loved.
