Akane has me conflicted because she seems like the type who makes stupid decisions in love, which makes her a flawed character and that's good. It means she still has potential to grow and develop. But at the same time, I can't help but get irritated at her actions. Her boyfriend broke her trust by falling in love with another woman yet she wants to get back with him? Like gurl stop being desperate... πŸ˜“ As for Yamada, he has been nothing but aloof with her yet she starts getting jealous at the possibility of him being in a relationship with other women? Gurl you're so quick to get attached, calm down.

Well, her behaviour is kinda realistic.
When guy a breaks up with a girl, it's usually a huge blow to her ego, because she wants to break up on her terms.
It's not like she likes that guy. She is just bitter and frustrates because she feels humiliated, that some guy thinks she is infirior to other woman. Women compete all the time with eachother.
It's all good thing for the reasons you described. She is flawed, has much to learn and Yamada will provide her with well needed character development.

I completely agree that her heartbreak with her boyfriend is realistic and I really hope she gets over that.

But as for the second point I mentioned, it seems weird for her to start getting depressed at Yamada and Rurihime's relationship when she only just met the guy. It feels like she hasn't earned the right to get jealous since their connection isn't that deep yet.

Plus he's 90% rude and distant towards her, so what on earth possessed you to feel like this girl??? 😡‍πŸ’«

SinceI am reading the manga, I remember this feeling of Akane developing over a bit longer period. Yamada is harsh but still kind in some way, if that’s make sense. Akane is also more than someone getting attached to guys, she cares for people, guy or girl, sometimes more than she should. The anime keeps repeating back to her drunken state that night, which makes it harder to see her charms.

Probably not a good idea trying to understand the mind and heart of a woman … head spinning 😡‍πŸ’«
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Honestly I think she is just figuring things out! She just got broken up with and that hurts, but sometimes it is hard to let go of someone, especially when the breakup is sudden on top of it being for another woman. As for Yamada, I think the jealousy thing is just a part of the growth of her realizing she likes him. She feels a connection with him, so seeing the possibility of him with another girl is confusing and highlighting her potential feelings for him.

The fact that she is so obsessed with getting back together with her ex is so annoying especially when she has met someone like Yamada, though he might kinda seem difficult to approach but come on , this makes me wonder how she gets to lv 999 with Yamada

I understand your frustrations with her.

Yamada has no social awareness or romantic skill. There's no reason for Akane to like him. The premise of the show is weak until Yamada shows any redeeming qualities IRL

You're right, his rudeness and distant aura is a bit off-putting to me. His face is his only redeeming quality

Your first mistake: trying to make sense of a young adult woman's mind

Your second mistake: trying to make sense of the kind of life hot and gorgeous af human being can get away with. The kind of stories I hear from hot af guys and girls , and the things they can get away with in a relationship. When you are actually hot af, people will just want you no question asked. 

The show is actually kinda cute when you get through those two points. And I mean to be honest, there are people like that in real life. It's kind of realistic in that sense.

Yeah, it's realistic but that doesn't mean I can't have any criticism towards it.

They need to properly delve into those kinds of things, otherwise it just feels not earned. I can understand that my irritation towards Akane still pining for her ex stems from me hating cheaters.

But towards Yamada, I mean, even if I were to meet a hot guy like him in real life, but his attitude towards me is so distant and rude, I most likely wouldn't entertain any feelings of jealousy if he talks to other girls.

Now, if the anime shows Akane getting to know Yamada a little bit more and grows closer to him, I can understand why she would get jealous. But that's not the case.

Moreover, women nowadays are so much more than simply liking a handsome face without considering their attitude towards them.

I agree. I honestly understand Yamada just not caring. Akane’s flawed but I’m interested in how this goes and worried if she decides to make even more dumb decisions.

I really hope that this "jealousy" stage of hers doesn't influence her to make any dumb and cringey decisions because gurl, haven't you embarrassed yourself enough 😭

Exactly what I thought, I'm so confused about what in the world this girl wants to do. I mean I get if the girl is hopeless in romance, that's perfectly fine, but to go out of your way to defend douchebags that literally break your heart and wanted to make you suffer? Just because what? They felt a bit sorry for what they did to you?
