I'm rooting for our likeable asshole Takatora to grow as a person, but at the same time, I'm hoping for everyone involved with, inevitably contributing to that growth, to not get too fucked up by him... So far, Arisaka and Kameyama are generally better off, but I'm shivering a bit for Osuzume. It seems to me he wants to be reaffirmed in his secondary gender role by being with someone alpha-presenting and getting pregnant, so Takatora is using that, but at the same time, I'm seeing hints at the fact Takatora might even empower him in strange ways (and in a dynamic that, at first glance, seems like anything but empowering). Also, yet another big, fat W from this author because of the mention of how fucking dangerous and taxing pregnancies are, and that they're not to be taken for granted when the pregnant person goes through them, is ready to have a child with someone, etc.
