Really feel bad for Akechi.

I keep hoping he'll find some way to simply walk away from all of this, but I guess his Past's compulsion to stick around Oda can't be overwritten.

Just, with how much shit he puts up with from every other character, I feel like he needs to actually try and leave, to see if any of them would even try to bring him back.

Too bad he's a traitor to Nobunaga and is effectively honor-bound to suffer through it all in grace.

It's weird how Akechi is pretty much the only one who's personalities have merged into one. With everyone else, their past life seem to take over.
I mean it's kinda implied that nobunaga's personality has toned down a whole lot more from how cruel he was in the past in the second chapter. I think you can chalk it up to the side characters not getting much screen time for us to appreciate the nuances and akechi being our point of view

it's probably because Akechi-kun of the modern times has a really strong will/personality that the original Akechi didn't seem to overpower and instead merge. Also you're kind of forgetting that Date-senpai is also the same as him, she doesn't really let her past as Masamune define her wholeheartedly sans being good at fashion.

Not too sure about that. He might be willing to look forward instead of clinging to the past (understandable, really), but he also sees himself as the guy from the Sengoku Jidai.

Moreover, he lampshaded something very important here: the historical Akechi was indeed unusually devoted to his wife, Tsumaki Hiroko. No concubines, no lovers, no cheating. When his fiance got smallpox (marking her entire body), her father offered another daughter to Akeuchi, but he refused, insisting that the only woman he wanted to marry was Hiroko. And when enemies conquered the castle where they lived, Akechi carried his pregnant wife on his back in his escape.

That is, modern Akechi being a hopeless romantic that will do anything for the woman he loves is very in-character for the historical Akechi too.

Mitsuhide died so fast after Honnouji he was like "damn. I'd rather just make model kits and look at cute girls from afar this time around...my modern self you keep the wheel"

would have been nice if she rejected this asshole trying to do ntr more strongly, akechi is the only one that feels like he has actual feelings in this "couple" and he's still being treated like trash by basically everone. which is sad because it seemed the original fl actually had feelings for him too
