Wow....such hate towards a fictional character. I didn't plan to respond to your last post, since even if it's negative, I figured you're entitled to your own opinion. That being said, this character you hate so much is one of the main two characters (alongside Raku) involved with the central premise, one of the first two conceived for story (confirmed by Komi himself in an interview), and was the only named female character to appear in the oneshot. This might not mean everything in the grand scheme of things, as any mangaka can change their mind as the story goes on, but there's no doubt that Chitoge is intended to be the female lead for the series. Now what does this have to do with your opinion? Not much, really, since you're free to like/dislike whatever you please about the story. However...when the story is stacked towards a certain character that you dislike so much, one has to wonder if maybe the manga isn't for you in the first place. I mean, there's no shame in avoiding a certain story if you don't care for a certain character type. I avoid plently of anime for that reason. But I also don't go around pretending the characters I dislike in those franchises are terrible, since it's obvious it's just that they're not to my taste. I won't deny that my OTP relies on some cliches, but honestly, as long as it's excecuted well, I don't really care if certain characters fall into certain tropes. Some character types do a better job of drawing me in than others, and I'd say tsundere/harsh girls tend to be characters I root for, since they they often tend to be dynamic in nature. I don't really see the character type as being negative, as it's pretty obvious (at least in this case) that it's being written to develop over time. Which is honestly much more interesting to me than static characters that make almost zero progress over the progression of the series. This is a lot more than I was expecting to write, but honestly, I wonder why it was necessary in the first place. Why push your opinion on others? I'm sure you like plenty of characters that I can't stand...but you honestly won't see me reminding you of why I think they're "terrible" or "cliche". And I really think it goes without saying why I don't plan to. |
I feel like this would be accurate here:
