I think I have nailed why I am still kinda interested in Hebikawa.

It's because, up to this point, the female lead has been so... boring. The classical clumsy girl, socially awkward and with no highlights or such. Kusunoki is so.... bland... that by contrast Hebikawa is much more interesting.

I'm not saying that she's suddenly forgiven, but she IS the most interesting girl in this manga....

Ironically enough, him initially hating her lends credibility to her starting to like him. After all, she's used to all of the fake nonsense, but since he hates her, and she knows that he does, she also knows that his good deeds are genuine. He doesn't have to put up a filter around her, and that has to be refreshing for her.

Really hoping they don't do anything stupid to try and get us to see his character-defining moment with Hebikawa in a different light. Kids can be so casually and impulsively cruel to one another, and in writing, it's just too tempting to make everything motivated and meaningful. Hebikawa's cruelty isn't one where she delights your trauma, it's one where it never even occurs to her. And if pushed on it later, she can't believe you let yourself get hurt by her dumb bullshit - that sounds like a YOU problem to her. I'd rather see her grow up than get explained away.

I've really respected that so far, she's been on her M. Bison and needed to reminded who he even was: The day Hebikawa looked him in the eyes and told her friends he was gross was the worst day of his life... but for her, it was Tuesday.
