I seriously don't get why ppl are blaming Rio. Is it so wrong to fall in love with her childhood best friend-Gaku? She knew that Gaku liked Masamichii more than her, but she understood her fault and broke up with Gaku later. She even encouraged him to confess!! She didn't feel disgusted or anything like that. She even apologized. People make mistakes and Rio made one too. She even accepted her fault!! Do you see that often?? Usually the girls are annoying and homophobic in bls, but she was different. She wanted Gaku to be happy and be himself. Why are ppl hating on Rio? She's sweet and really loved Gaku, that's why she let him go.
I understand what you mean but sadly there are fujoshi who don't care about others characters specially female and they consider them as a pain in the neck if they are in love with one males. I am not saying all fujoshi are like that. Only 15% of them are toxic. And some mangakas are conscious about that. That's why they don't care about their plot as long as there are two guys. I mean they romanticized the rape and when they end up together the readers are like : soooo cute...???? The worst thing is when you give an opinion, they are like: Hey don't read it if you don't like it. Just butthurt people
especially when the one who was unfairly used was rio, not gaku or masamichii. masamichii pushed gaku towards rio to get over his guilt and gaku dated rio to get over his guilt. compulsory heterosexuality is detrimental to everyone and there's not one victim and one offensor. their all victims of today's society and all three of them made mistakes
This surprisingly has a good and sweet end (▰˘◡˘▰)
