A Sign of Affection
| It's the classic YA love triangle of bad boy vs childhood friend. |

Itsuomi is fuken aggressive bro (in a good way), I’ve never seen a male lead in an romance anime being this proactive before, he's rizzing her up constantly and knows how to deal with competition (her childhood friend). Which is pretty refreshing to see. Don't know if this is a shoujo romance thing or not, cuz I haven’t watched that many but man, Am I here for it He kinda reminds me of “Kurosawa, Yamato” from … Suki tte Ii na yo. Say "I Love You." |
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 and judge each based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |

| @ejleon as far as I remember yamato had no respect for boundaries (I remember him sleeping with the other girls even if he had no feelings for them, like a people pleaser kinda act like he didn't know how to say no, and also forcefully stealing kiss of the female chara and so on) good guy but pushy in the wrong ways instead of asking for consent first and letting the female MC make the first move as well meanwhile we got itsuomi having real clear boundaries even with other females (just look at how he dealt with Emma, then went straight to kyouya after so she wouldn't have to stay outside drunk as it is dangerous but making sure they don't stay together alone in such scenario) he is proactive but like in a still patient and consenous way which doesn't really fit yamato that much imo I would say in the story both are really proactive, but both still respect each other which is why they work so well together and it works so smoothly!! |

You are talking about the Yamato before meeting Mei, he was a “player”. I meant the Yamato that was loyal only to Mei in their relationship. Mei was not easy and resisted Yamato. Yamato had to push a little to convince her to be with him, but they definitely had a consensual respectful relationship. One of the best parts in the anime is when Yamato kisses Mei multiple times to show her how serious his feelings are for her. https://youtube.com/watch?v=bVryjwgTE7I&si=Gxw7ZjsTpM8bZ44X Itsuomi is also pushing Yuki in different ways to bring their relationship closer together, not pushing in a romantic physical sense like Yamato, but still pushing with his way of acting and speaking with Yuki. |
