This is better written than the first. It gives you time to get used to their relationship before they become a couple. Izumi is straightforward and it’s evident that he treasures Kashi. Even when he despised Misa, he also acknowledged that she liked Kashi. Misa’s case is somewhat like a manifestation of insecurity and not being able to commit. She’s the sort to shrink away from selfless and unconditional kindness. It’s good that they broke up before Kashi proposed and all because Kashi deserved Izumi’s love, the sort to love him as he is. Izumi is pretty intense, tho.
