Ryuuonosuke is the worst character in this manga...followed by Koharu's mother.

Going all the way back to her mom encouraging her into the Hare-kon to help save the cafe, then refusing to even talk to Koharu after Ryuunosuke was verbally abusive to her. She has to know that Koharu is going through a rough time because she hasn't had a baby and Yuzu has, yet she's there making it worse.

I hate the way Koharu's father tried to get her away from Ryuunosuke, but he was right in the end, she should have left the Hare-kon.

lol <3
@HOOfan_1
That wouldn't make a fun story though D: And she does love him?

@GruntZone360 plenty of abused women love the men who abuse them. Sure Ryuunosuke's abuse isn't physical, but he has certainly mentally abused Koharu, Yuzu and Modoka over the course of the manga. Modoka obviously left because she couldn't take it anymore.

That story arc was a bit confusing for me and I typeset the damn thing. That said, it was Ryuunosuke and Koharu “Breaking the rules/promise” that was the straw that broke the camels back and yet her in ability to had kids didn’t help matters either if I recall correctly.

@GodricKharg Ryuu didn't seem interested in bringing her back though. It was Koharu who went after her. Ryuu basically just took the attitude of "if she wants to go, let her". Then when Yuzu ran off after the entire thing with her old boyfriend coming back, he didn't go after her either. It was Koharu who went after her and brought her back. Once she was back, Ryuu didn't really do anything to try and convince her to stay...it was basically her old boyfriend who convinced her she should stay with Ryuu. Throughout the manga, Ryuu has just seemed to manipulate people just so he can get his way.

He conned Koharu into marrying him by saving her family cafe
He conned Koharu into having sex with him by bullying her, guilting her and finally playing on jealousy by hitting on that high school girl
In the flashbacks with Yuzu and her boyfriend, it seems he actively put doubt in both of their minds as to whether or not they were good for each other, and then when the boyfriend went to prison for protecting Ryuu, he move in on Yuzu.
