@cor3zone "Senpai obviously don't mind hanging out with her, and probably actually enjoys it."
Yeah, I think Paisen just enjoys how lively every day is because he seemed to be a complete loner before he got to know Nagatoro. I mean yeah, they tease him and all that but it's all just in jest and in good fun. Even Gamo and co who were very harsh and cruel against Paisen in the beginning (much like Nagatoro) now pretty much sees him as one of them, in a weird way, and their teasing is as lighthearted as Nagatoro's; not outright malicious like it was in their initial interactions. It's been a pretty interesting ride so far seeing the characters develop. One of my favorite parts was when all the girls left the faceless guys to go home with Paisen.
"But from an outside perspective, as someone who doesn't enjoy being treated like a doormat, she's fucking nasty."
I completely understand. I wouldn't enjoy being treated like that myself. If I made it come off like I don't understand or like I was saying "What?! How can you think she's nasty?!" then I apologize. I just personally think Nagatoro has largely redeemed herself throughout the manga.
"Either way, it's impressive writing that can make us care so much."
Agreed. Nanashi's a far more impressive and better author than a lot of other mangakas with bigger names/series.
