Normally, I would enumerate stuff I hate about a story, but I'm having mixed emotions with the characters. The semes gave me an ick; they're pretty much problematic. Taichi is mentally weak while (I forgot his name) black-haired dude is meddling too deep. I know he's apparently envious, may it be romantically or because of his past, but to have a say about other's relationship with just surface context is just plainly meddlesome. I like how caring he was at some point, but it subtly annoyed me how he would call them pathetic and useless. Is he pertaining to them or himself? (a genuine question)
And yeah, Taichi, with that upbringing might be acknowledgable. However, he did cause pain towards Naoto. He was lost and cannot handle his emotions well. He did recognize his faults and apparently changed and matured. He was still an asshole tho. The r/pe was a big deal for readers because of we are usually the ones who interpret the works of the author; Naoto, as blinded he was because of love, brush it off because of how physically active they were with each other. It's kind of a thing where you got used to someone's touch. (Still assault tho, whether one is angry or not, whether you're dating or not. Assault is an assault, with or without label. They're just stupidly in love.)
All-in-all, the latter volume is such a stressful read. The first volume is showing development, young and fresh. The second one is stressful. It was all about growth and maturity, showing how dirty and heavy adulting is.
P.S. Always remember that it's easier to say things and get frustrated over things we haven't experienced. As much as I hate how weak-willed and ineffable Taichi is, he's just another depiction of a human. P.S.S. Still hate how many unnecessary and stupid fights they had. But I know it's stupid for me, but hard for them.
LEARN HOW TO UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES. It's fun analyzing humans, but it's also a hassle.
