That’s my issue with the characterization of her. How is it that she is quick to have sex with the idea of pleasing her boyfriend, gets dumped every time, and doesn’t learn her lesson. It would make sense if she was obsessed with sex more than love, but the story, from what I’ve seen from others explain it (I haven’t read it), makes her character the opposite: disinterested in sex and interested in pleasing her partner.
So she falls in love with the MC. But how is it that she spent so much time getting used without learning ‘I’m being used for sex’ ‘I’m dating shitty men’ ‘if I found someone serious they wouldn’t even want sex so quickly in the first place’ etc. So since she isn’t absolutely obsessed with getting ran through, then she must have a really, really, really low iq or a learning disability. Which if this were the case, then she wouldn’t have the social awareness and skills to maintain herself to be beautiful, stylish, and top-caste.
I want to give it a chance, but I have a fear that the MC won’t change much in his nature and remain as the small fry he is, characterization of Runa would become hard to explain through plot without creating plot holes, and a different story without such extreme non realism would have been better.
Example: Runa had a small amount of boyfriends that used her, and she changed her demeanor because of the rumors that came with it. OR Runa is sex obsessed but begins to change when she meets the MC who was the only guy to turn away her direct advances.
I find the current characterization to be one of the most unsettling things I’ve ever witnessed because it combines pure of heart and impure of mind and body. Yet this unsettling feeling is also interesting in itself. But if someone who’s read it has an explanation for why Runa’s pure heart didn’t protect her body’s purity or why her impure body didn’t change her heart’s purity please let me know. Because if we were to say that she lost her virginity and was dumped, I feel like most people with normal observational skills would realize that they were used and not continue to pretend that sex is something you do to keep a partner if you are not sure of their intentions. Like the Mc saved the heroine but instead of the antagonist being social pressure, depression, desperation, or lust, it was her own naivety.
Another thing I wish to see and I’ll just throw this out there but given the story, Runa is an innocent girl who has been used a lot and it affects the mc. Thus, the ex boyfriends are evil in a way. In this kind of situation I would wanna see the Mc become a social force to be reckoned with and absolutely wipe the floor with the ex bfs. This kind of story demands a need for schadenfreude to put those characters in their place, prove them wrong, and destroy their egos. The reason for this is that usually a male protagonist is fine being messed with, but if they mess with someone they know, it gets serious. And I’m assuming that Runa at some point shows regret for her past? If this revenge or schadenfreude exists in the story I’ll definitely watch it and read it. If it doesn’t then oh well I’ll give it a try but put it no where near the top anime
Talking about the actual review This is hell of a boring anime like a soap opera where things and characters don't make sence.
