The man is unrestricted creep. But I mean, lot of... josei I think the genre is (and even in shoujo) has lot of very aggressive romantic interests... some that even have forceful sex with the female lead (almost only in the josei ones, not the shoujo ones)... what we would usually define as rape, but hot and bothered girls with M orientations would fall down and pray to.
Either way, the story is weird, and thus, interesting. It has infuriating bits and some blatant plot points, but I am ready to accept those for the sake of the interesting story that might be told... even if it is somewhat jumbled
Also yeah. I am on the shy guy side this time. I hope their relationship develops further.
