I wonder if this manga is going to treat his DID seriously (which is severely debilitating IRL if you ignore tiktok fakers), or just use it as an excuse for the dude to switch between ignoring and lovebombing her without coming off as a manipulative douchebag.

Yeah, it's a little too cutesy, like they wanted the 'shoujo-jerk' trope but only half the time. Someone with his condition would require a lot of care and attention, and he just got dumped in the countryside like an abandoned puppy.

I smell a hint of "Don't go up those stairs. The mountain God will play tricks on you, like giving you a diagnosable mental health condition!"

That one is realistic considering that both of his parents are alcoholics.
Less realistic is how he's able to attend school without the teachers mentioning his condition (or even knowing about it?), I mean sure it's Japan where disabilities are shamefur dispray, but with his massive lapses of memory he's gotta need some special accommodations.
