Izumi really frustrated me. So much angst and I didn't like that it was only at the very end that he started being assertive and expressing himself. Shinoya also never seemed to catch on (or knew but was unable to reassure him) or become the assertive one either which was also annoying. So much complacency from both of them. It had potential but you can tell the author was super reluctant to have the characters develop and change, that I feel it really dragged it down.
