Ugh. Fine.
Well, sadly, that ruined a lot of my enjoyment of the show tbh. And I am very sad about it.
Having Souta make a confession on false information and then just... shrink and feel awful but also to force this into a confession that does put all the blame on him for not instantly realizing his feelings and none on Mahiro for, you know, repeatedly rejecting him... my entire heart.
Sigh.
Ironically, I'm sure everyone is going to love this but me.
But for me? It doesn't work. IBy basically just making this a story about Souta misunderstanding something and failing and confessing and put it entirely on him for struggling with his feelings and going after Mahiro after getting thoroughly rejected by him... I get it but I don't like it.
I really did want this to come back to Mahiro stepping up and talking to Souta... but it didn't and I get it but I still don't love it.
I was so invested but the comedy came back right at the moment I didn't want it to... of course. That is always how it goes, isn't it?
Also explains all the happy screenshots I saw last night.
Eh.
I accept my fate it to almost always be emotionally disappointed by endings because it goes differently in my head and I can't stop my imagination.
At least they're cute. It's lucky that Mahiro hadn't actually had anyone to go to besides Souta, I guess, and never had to contemplate how quickly he dismissed his feelings.
In fact, oh look, it's going to be more of just Souta being wrong about things isn't it? Alas. This guy definitely deserves a break from being 'to blame' for every issue they had.
Ah, okay, so we did at least subvert the idea of being not accepting them and then made all the jealousy pointless and just made Souta more wrong to be worried and jealous.
Again.
I know people are going to love this. I get it.
But for me? I wanted Mahiro to have to be the one to pull Souta back after rejecting him again and again.
