She felt like a real woman who fought through adversaries and had to fight her way up. It's a slow one but a good one. Read a ton of light novels/manhwa with female knights with unrealistic societal norms where women knights were not only accepted but also celebrated those feel so Mary Sue and out of touch.
Not bcs it's bad plot wise but it's bad for my heart. I'm afraid she is just using her admiration for Tatsuo to rebound from Kouya. While things are progressing slowly between Tatsuo and Asahi I feel like things are not even affection wise. Tatsuo just like his work he is serious about this but Asahi wants success being the driven perfectionist woman she is. Kouya was a failure but emotionally they complimented eachother even if they had external problems that ultimately blew up their relationship. They felt like they truly loved in the naive passionate sense and will either be endgame or eachother's toxic ex they can't forget but can't live without.
