Sad flashback, then Rinka falls for the MC just because he resembles her ex. A classic slop romance trope :aquadrink:

He's a good guy ;A; I don't think this girl will become a rival character judging by author's previous work, but I am glad Hayato is just. A genuinely good dude
Too good, in my opinion. If it were anyone else, they'd let Rinka have it with both barrels (even though she already got it from multiple barrels) and charge her so hard, they'll be name batteries after her.

I can't see why Rinka would fall for him because he treated her like a person, not just a sex demon. Only one time! Just because she got dumped? Just because she's vulnerable after getting yelled at for doing sex crimes? Because he's the first and only boy who treated her like that? Seems not enough.

Hey some funny art, probably unintentional, but on page seven the speech bubble where Rinka says "I'm really sorry" overlaps the stairs in such a way that the corners of the stairs look like additional arrows pointing off the speech bubble. It looks like Rinka, Katou, and Yui are all saying "I'm really sorry" at the same time. Now it creates the possibility to read the scene in multiple modes. Post-Structuralism got me again. Derrida-Damn!

"My bad for trying to rape you, I guess"

"I forgive you but have we considered your feelings and why?"

What
In his defense, apart from being too nice for his own good, I think there's the elephant in the room of Emu. He doesn't want to believe that someone would assault another person just because they're a succubus and "can't help it", because that would have some serious implications for Emu. The moment Rinka starts bringing it up, he shoots it down.

And he isn't wrong. Rinka wasn't attracted to him, and she didn't assault him because she was horny. She was jealous of Emu and tried to screw with her.
