@CinderSquall It has been said that painting wasn't profitable at all for him, hence he went for illustrations
@deathmailrock You can probably say those things with the comfort and calmness of being a third person watching a story behind a screen.
Now, try to get yourself in Yuji's clothes: you live alone in a small 1DK (for who don't know what 1DK means, it's basically the layout of apartments in japan
https://resources.realestate.co.jp/...whats-the-difference-and-which-should-i-rent/), you do a job (illustrator) you "have to" do because your passion (panting) isn't profitable, your mom doesn't support you but suddenly calls you to tell you that you have to live with a girl you don't know (ok they met in the past, but he doesn't remember), you start living with this girl and you slowly start having fun...then, after quite a bit of time (months) your mom calls again, she clearly states that she thinks you're wasting your life and also that the girl's father is visiting. You talk with this man and he drops a bomb on you....now before this part, we already know that Yuji is in a shitty mood, he knows that his current job isn't much more profitable than being a painter and that his
mother is against him, but he doesn't give up...then they offer you to basically go to another world (Japan and Italy are completely different, trust me) and you also come to know that the girl came to you from the start with the intention of bringing you back with her (go read that part again: Francesca says "yes" to Yuji's question "have you been trying to get me to go to italy this whole time?", that's not an offer....she didn't offer, her father did...she came with the intention of getting him to follow her) and to pour salt on the wound, the reason is "i thought i could do my current job in italy" and "i thought it could be better for you too"....to me that's kinda selfish and also degrading to his struggles and the will to not give up he showed
Yuji have everyone close person to him actually against him....so yes, i think it's normal to get mad in that state of mind....i'd rage too
Also, this girl might smell like troubles, but it got hinted that she most likely got played/raped in the not so far past....and she calmed down a bit at the festival, so she might not be a bad choice....and tbh, for me, Francesca can go fuck herself back in Italy
