The last couple chapters have started to make me dislike Shintarou. He's weirdly clingy and controlling, which he tries to pass off as concern for the ostensibly helpless Towa... But it feels like he's projecting helplessness onto her in order to justify his controlling tendencies. For instance, she probably knows a hell of a lot more than he does about safe flying. And from what we've seen, she's certainly intelligent and mature enough to handle herself alone in public (with a bit of initial guidance, sure).
Something about his affection just seems OFF, like it's a form of infantilization, thus condescending and even creepy.
Have we been reading different mangas or something? Because she literally almost got led into a hotel with some old dude in the first few chapters, tries to do other peoples jobs for them, has zero sense of danger and is clearly pretty gullible and far to trusting.
Also, how is that projecting? She isn’t even from their world, so yes, she absolutely is helpless. And even if she wasn’t, that's not what projecting means. If he was projecting, it would mean that he’s helpless, which he most certainly isn’t.
Also, in terms of emotional maturity and intelligence, she is child-like. She doesn’t even understand concepts such as love or sex, which even a 10 yr old would understand and know about, as seen by the other angel that appeared.
At any rate, she is absolutely not intelligent enough and emotionally mature enough to handle herself alone in public, which is exactly why he is offering her guidance.
In what way is he controlling her? She broke into his house and slept there, and was then allowed to live there with him. He encouraged her to get her back to her home when he didn’t know she was an Angel, and pretty much lets her do whatever she wants so long as she doesn’t do anything stupid like flying in public or getting herself into dangerous situations.
He never forced her to do any of the things she’s doing for him.
