I used to like her. Then I felt like she wasnt appreciating the person Shinichi became. He went through a lot and matured alot (and even though she doesn't know why) she kept being negative about it.

Also, she was giving him the cold shoulder because he was acting weird after his mom died.. does she have no soul?
I dont think she knew right after he changed that his mother died because she never even spoke about it and the way those guys reacted to shinichi's scar when he took off his shirt means that most people don't know what happened anyway plus he isn't at school half the time to let people know. Plus i liked Kana better than Murano

People have to hate something in a series or find something annoying. It's just the way world works.

And imo, she has done nothing wrong nor stupid. Maybe people don't see how much Shinichi changed from a nerd geek to cold, almost emotionless person. It's normal for her to question him since she obviously cares about him. People are insta-annoyed when someone doesn't act the way they'd want to.

And that's it. It would be more tolerable if she was given a reasonable amount of screentime for someone of her level of importance, but that's not the case. And that last scene was empty to me. Their entire relationship up until this point has been founded upon keeping her in the dark and the show's been chickening out of taking it past that for way too long. This week still did nothing to change that.

They lost their virginity. Whoopie. We could've reached this conclusion forever ago.

Everything everyone has said here plus reasons. I mean c'mon have you been watching the latest episodes?

Bitch needs to end.

I haven't hated a female character (from a good show I like) so much since Flay from Gundam Seed. She is the epitome of all things wrong with a stupid naive high school girl.

Let her die. PLEASE. (her and the rest of the female cast).

the amount of hate murano gets is crazy.She's the one who's helping Shinichi keep his humanity alive.As for the no chemistry comments,that's easily understandable given that most of their feelings for each other developed before the manga started.

I get the feeling that most of the people hating on murano are KanaXIzumi shippers who're still hurt that stalker girl died.IMO Murano's only role is to help Shinichi keep his humanity and she's done that.

You'd be surprised how much things become more annoying when you give them voice, movement and remove the ability to skim through things

Exactly. More than half of the time my reason to dislike a character stems from their voice as it makes them leave more of a general impression (very rarely do I dislike characters in manga), or the feeling that I can't skip their screen time, and I'm stuck with something I've to endure.

In the manga her panels were only worth a glance, but I watched the anime till episode 8, and that wasn't the case anymore.

I used to like kana more but her obsession over him was a huge turn off. I also find it weird how it's never explained in the anime where she got her powers

I hate Murano because she's self-centered and annoying. While she is justified in her being afraid of Shinichi after his emotionless phase, she doesn't do ANYTHING to actually help him, just whine about how he's changed and not the person she knows.

His mother died and his father was crippled. Even though Murano doesn't know his mother is dead, everyone knows she's missing and Shinichi's father was hospitalized. Shinichi has changed because he's going through grief and trauma!

Even if the cause wasn't his family being destroyed, he's still very depressed. And instead of being a good friend and supporting Shinichi, Murano actually just shames and condemns him for it. If your friend is severely depressed and is not acting like themselves for days, are you really just going to ask 'Are you my friend?' and then get upset when they don't snap right back?

I get that she cares a lot for Shinichi, but she's doing a shit job of it.

All in all, she's a needy, obnoxious, self-centered idiot.

People really understand "character development" and "significance to the story" very well. Good for you guys.

Well, I don't. Coz I'm an idiot. Maybe that's why I'm at least apathetic towards her.

But seriously, I think people just put technicalities in their hate to feel justified.

I swear I saw this retarded rant and you only adjusted part about her not knowing his mother was death because it was making you blatantly ignorant.
You still can't understand that she was concerned about him.

The only thing I added was the sentence at the bottom. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

The problem I have with her is that she keeps whining about he's changed and how she doesn't want anything to do with him while he's like that. She just completely ignores the fact that his mother is missing and his dad was hospitalized. She acts like it's his fault he's reacting the way he is and this makes her self-centered and obnoxious.

If she were TRULY concerned about him, she wouldn't try to ignore him when he needs emotional support. She only has a superficial concern for him, yet the writing plays it up as if she's selflessly by his side the whole time. It's poor writing.

That's why Murano is weirded out by him - because he is not telling her anything despite almost being her boyfriend at the time + not to mention other weird and fucked up shit Shinichi has done, like throwing a puppy into a trash bin. Do you even watch this show? Why are you so hung up on Murano when Shinichi is the one at fault for these situations? He turns into inhumane person and you blame Murano for not trying to understand him? WTF

Only manga fans that for some reason seem to give this vibe that they were there for TG since the beginning and deserve an A+ adaptation even though it wasn't that popular before the anime think it's bad. If you actually look around from anime only viewers, reviewers, and people who realized that they said it was going to be different months ago. It's been really good and emotional.

It's not that I hate her, but her dumbness and uselessness is annoying as hell.
She has no impact on the story whatsoever so far (ep12) other than being the main character's love interest. She asks/says to Shinichi "You're Shinichi, right?" or "You changed" or "You are not Izumi-kun!" almost every episode after noticing every little change (his expression, talking style, throwing doggie in the trash can, etc.) but she didn't even question how could Shinichi survive jumping down from the 3rd/4th floor and how could he jump 4 meters high?

I don't exactly hate her, but she gets on my nerves sometimes. With the 'You're Izumi Shinichi right?' and her constant state of doubt against the guy.
But considering the world she lives in and the fact that she's in love with Shinichi... I suppose I can kind of understand her. I still don't like her character though.

She started acting like a total btch towards Shinichi when his FCKING MOTHER had died, like a couple of days before that!.

Even if Shinichi wasn't a "parasite" his god damn mother had recently died! and in a horrible way! that probably changes people... and she never ever gave him one single break, nor asked him how he felt about his mother being violently murdered.

I would slap the sht out of that annoying whining whore.

And... hello i'm new to the forums i needed to tell someone how much i hate that self-righteous btch.


Thank you, I agree. And I came to the forums just to express that as well. I fucking hate her so much.
