People are complaining about the girls and the MC and his friends. But this story is about not letting people walk all over you, Mami, Ruka only to a extent and the biggest culprit Kazus family mainly his grandma. She acts like she wouldn't be happy with anyone that's not Chizuru and when she original figures out that Chizuru and Kazu broke up she beratea him and makes him feel like shit. He has to bend himself and lie else he will be disowned. Not to take away blame from him but I wouldn't saddle home with all the blame (I may have done a bad job at explaining this)
