@CBFlap Sometimes you need to introduce a new character to develop existing characters, even if they end up getting sidelined later down the line. Remember that one girl that liked Shikimori and how Shikimori developed after her introduction? This dude might just be a foil to Izumi as we see here. At the very least, it shows that Izumi is somewhat more dependable now than when we first saw him, considering he's being proactive with a relative stranger.
Ehhhhhh... not feeling it. Kinda forced and overdid the shyness. The whole body injury from saving a cat seems stupid too. Very weak past 2 chapters to introduce a side character.
@Flare77 Who are u talking about ? I only remember a girl who had a crush on Izumi. And then Shikimori notices it and becomes friends with her. (Smart move, you need to keep rivals close to you so they dont moves in your back)
Shy introvert? I get that kind of feels from him. He is an okay character for now but depending on the author if we get to know him better I would like if he ends up joining the main cast.
I'm glad he wasn't bullied. I wonder why his "I see, must be rough" was emphasized ? Is there something more to his words or was it just to show he's nice ?
