Kekkon suru tte, Hontou desu ka Episode 10 Discussion

I despised this episode. Honjoji's treatment of Ohara is disgusting throughout this whole episode. She creates this date as a way to essentially make him become disinterested in her so she can "stop her feelings". I don't know about how anyone else feels about this, but this is HORRIBLE writing. All this does is put Ohara in a state of neglect all throughout this episode and then tries to turn it around by adding a forced and unearned kiss scene.

Here's why the kiss doesn't work:

1. The anime reset the romantic development of the two of them in the 5th episode with a stupid misunderstanding on Honjoji's side

2. They do nothing in this episode that would even suggest that thete is any chemistry between them

3. The kiss serves as a way to shock the viewer into thinking that the relationship is progressing. It isn't. By adding this kiss in, they skip any nuance that makes a developing romance or a kiss scene so impactful.

I know I shouldn't be this descriptive for an episode on a silly RomCom but I am tired of seeing people call this anime peak when it is anything but.

@ChaosV11 Thank you. I have Avoidant Personality Disorder. I am quite socially awkward and often end up saying things I don't mean by accident. Even I understand that when someone is asking you an important question and you don't know what to say, the best answer is to simply vocalize your thoughts. Not to sit there in silence for 30 minutes and then refuse to speak to the person for days at a time.

The point where they tried to make you sympathize with her essentially admitting that she ghosted every single guy that ever showed her interest until they finally gave up made me so angry. Like yeah, Takuya's a coward. But at least he's consistently tried to be considerate towards her. At least he makes some attempt to say how he feels. She just sits there waiting for him to read her mind, refuses to say what she thinks, and when she breaks it off for the umpteenth time she's thinking, "But why won't you fight for me?"

This is the kind of shit that makes immature women infuriating. Stop with the bullshit tests. Tell me how you feel. If it's complicated, tell me 20 different times until you get it all out. I am not a freaking psychic.

Honjoji is a massive cunt, and I high-key hate her guts at this point. It angers me that they'll most likely end up together.
