@Qwertt yeah, but I hope to see him develop at least enough for him to start standing up for himself. But I already know I won't see anything like this, since the author has already tried to redeem Takamine by doing the "I've blackmailed you and I enjoy to belittle you for my own amusement, but I've pushed you to do better so it's ok" bullshit. He's also extremely stupid because it's pretty obvious that she can't blackmail him anymore, but well, that wasn't explicitly said so they might just be speculations.
i'm just as upset as anyone else, but jesus, y'all need to calm down. you're going apeshit. botched confessions are not uncommon. we're only at chapter 25 here. this is not some egregious sin, calm your shits
