@Killthescribe I think the reason we see him like this is because we are basically seeing everything from his point of view. And in his point of view, he looks like a gigantic simp. But in the Sumi spin-off, he seems more approachable and seems to be relatively alright. Honestly though, still hard to see him in any other way,
but a gigantic simp, because of what this manga pulls with him, but I think in the eyes of others, he seems fairly dependable. For reference, check out chapter 8 of Sumi's spin-off.
