CookieMonster, hmm.. it seems like you think boys in their 20 are already old and wise age..
for me 20 yo college boy is pretty damn young..
and it's actually potrayed correctly, they're worry too much about not having girlfriend, lying just to brag etc.. like they're worry too much about what people said, and i think it's pretty normal for people at that age..
"pretty girl wouldn't love lame/ugly people irl" you said? this is where young people wrong..
like they're worry too much about being equal.. sometimes girls just need someone who appreciate their looks, it needs a lot of effort to look pretty, and girls feel satisfied if there's someone could appreciate it and keep looking at them..
and it's not always about looks, and it's not like Kazuya is that ugly.. girls like guy that determined on something, whether it's sport, work etc.. girls like guys because they can do what girls can't do.. and Kazuya is doing that right now, he is so determined on making film, which is something that Chizuru didn't even think about..
and Kazuya is actually straight forward showing he is interested in Chizuru, and so does Ruka.. but just because they can guess each other feelings, doesn't mean they can just become lover and stuff.. it's not that simple..
and love is more about timing and momentum, it's come from people that be at our side at right time and right moment.. that's why love is actually unpredictable and that is why people could suddenly cheating etc..
do you think Ruka is being unreasonable?
do you ever love someone before?
once you love someone, you wouldn't care if there's someone else better out there, it feels sucks when your parents told you to marry certain girl just because they think my partner is not good and start comparing her to other girls.. like i don't care what they think, they know nothing about my girl..
you are just being like a boomer who judge other people feelings, and other people partner.. it's Ruka's feelings, she's the only one who knows Kazuya good point, it's up to her for who is the one she love no matter how bad do you think that people is..
