While the dad’s attitude does cause a lot of frustration, I am happy that the author decided to depict it. While in an ideal world, parents would be more accepting like Kirishima’s mother, unfortunately the bitter truth is that not all are. In fact, Toudou’s father being so stubborn and unchanging in his ways even after 12 years really serves to add some realism to this story.
