Nah everyone is entitled to their own tastes. I myself liked this, seeing as something like this is possible. What you said is also logical but that's not what happened. There are many possibilities in life so we shouldn't limit our views.
I actually understand why Takatsuki fell in love with Icchi. There’s someone I used to know that was was quite similar to Icchi. This person was mean with the one they liked because they were so embarrassed, she always asked me for advice and told me I could get anyone I wanted. People always said she was childish, rude and that she was not mature enough to confess. But I loved the way she acted and all the little things about her lol I knew her the best and that made me even happier to be there for her.
I was like Takatsuki so I understand why he would fall for icchi. If they are happy when you are not by there side or if you are you can be happy know they are happy
This is definitely the unpopular opinion, but personally, I actually agree too. I wasn't fond of Icchi for exactly the reasons as you've said, and I would have been in the same boat as Oda. The art is nice, and even the side characters with whom the MCs are supposed to have a romance are "good" characters, but having one of the MCs like this isn't appealing for the story imo. It's really rare to find likable female characters in shounen-ai or BL mangas, so it was a nice surprise.
I'm sorry, but no. I know I'll get a lot of hate for this, but I don't like Icchi at all and I don't see why Takatsuki would ever fall in love with him. Actually, Takatsuki should be the least likely to fall in love with Icchi, because he saw everything. Anyone would've gotten tired of giving advice and have it be completely thrown out the window. Oda getting tired of Icchi is also completely understandable. He was so mean and rude. I can't excuse being mean or rude to someone to hide your own embarrassment. And at the end Icchi being suddenly assertive makes no sense either. Just no
