Love this, but...

This is a favorite of mine. Always an enjoyable read. But every time I reread it I can't get over how annoying Akae's ex-colleague is! I hate her type. First she cries and tries to guilt him into dating her and like "giving it a try". Then demands a reason she deems acceptable. No one is obligated to date someone. Even if he doesn't have what you consider a "legitimate" reason. He doesn't even need to give a reason. It's not required! Someone could just say NOPE! and walk away. Would that suck for you? Yeah. But no one likes rejection, and a "special" reason isn't gonna make the sting of rejection hurt any less. And his reasoning for not wanting to get into any kind of relationship after all that drama he just went through is completely understandable. But no. She has to drag the rejection process on through all this bullshit. She's acting like she doesn't have to take any responsibility for her feelings. She wants him to give her all these reasons to give up or some shit. Lady, you confessed, he said no thanks, getting over it and dealing with rejection is ON YOU. How old is she that she's still acting like this? And a part of it is Akae's fault for not putting his foot down and going along with it because he was trying to let her down "easy". But letting someone down easy doesn't really help them in the long run. The sooner you reject her the sooner she'll move on. And I know that it was just a plot tool used to get the main couple together, and this is a fictional story, but GOD does she annoy me. Maybe I'm taking this too personally cuz I would be so pissed if someone did this to me while I was rejecting them. Like who the hell do you think you are?
Whew! Rant over

    I think most of us agree but it’s just that without her they wouldn’t have gotten together or there wouldn’t have been a plot. She’s just the poor character that was made to act that way so we could see the sweet couple lol

    Lol. Yeah, she's an obvious plot tool. I just had to get it all off my chest ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    Lol yea let it all out. I felt the same way reading it the first time. Bit shameless but she was desperate. What she did at the end where she realized they both liked each other then left kinda made me not hate her so much

    Yeah it was nice that she was aware enough to realize she was the third wheel and bowed out. And I'm glad the author didn't drag it out too long either. Some other manga's have spent 4-5 chapters using a third wheel character who conveniently and frustratingly always shows up at the worst times to ruin any mood. So thank god for that LOL

    I totally agree! I like this manga but she is an annoying necessity!
