I relate very much to Shio-san, though, admittedly, my character isn't that rotten nor am I much of a writer to be honest. But the way he describes himself is very familiar to me. How he doesn't want people to know much about him or how he prefers being a loner, yet still seeking out someone else. I can imagine how confused he must have been by himself. Especially because he knows himself well and has a stable mind (to a degree) or at least thought so. Until he fell in love. Love's an odd thing, I don't quite get it. Despite having read easily over a hundred mangas, read all about the different types of romance, I've never experienced it myself. Guess that's where my similarities with Shio-san end.
