So you never heard of an "Identity Crisis"? Yuu Perception of himself is extremely fucked. Yuu has a low self-esteem, to such a point to where he got to a point where we believes he doesn't have a role in his family, school, house, etc; He explores and uses the streets as a medium for his depression and anxiety and tries to find his role in the world. And also your example of "He does some shit and tries to go all edgy one time and realizes how stupid he was being and 'etc"', is just a shitty excuse and bad termonology for "cliche", every anime has a cliche dumbass, stop acting like Holyland is the only one with said cliche.Why I dropped it a chapter 110:
The characters and the story are great, but the development of the main character is one of the shittiest I've ever seen.
The MC has what I call a "fake development". He does some shit and tries to go all edgy one time but he realizes how stupid he was being and etc. This is all fine and dandy but he does that like three times in a roll! He goes through the same problems, which are solved with the same solutions again and again.
I think the author didn't want to end the series but he also couldn't think of any other situations.
So wait he didn't die? Why is he still there then???

What part of it was "cheap" per say? It was good ending we gotta see yuu's friends and antagonists graduate from the streets, his charisma and inspiration bettered the people around him. And if you gotta prob with yuu surviving the stab, you should know that it would be easy to survive that if you were aware and careful, the author has been extremely realistic with all of his fights so why would he stop being realistic now?Was a good ride, but the end is just cheap, too bad.
