Personal Opinion

Minis November 6, 2015 5:50 am

Before I start, I'm going to make something clear: This is going to be Kijima hate. Thus, if you like Kijima as a character, please don't read this.

I really detest Kijima. I can't stand his callous and flippant attitude, and how he excuses his behavior by constantly reasserting that he's serious and playing on Jinnai's sympathies. It's absolutely disgusting.

I understand that Kijima is in pain as well-- he's been in love with Jinnai for years, and unrequited love can be painful. I don't fault him for his feelings. He can't control those, and being bitter about not having his love reciprocated is natural. Hell, it's even understandable that he wants Jinnai and Reiichirou to break up, and use that as an opportunity.

But what I can't stand is... how disrespectful he is. How RUDE he is. Just, just... how inconsiderate do you have to be to blatantly hit on someone who's told you repeatedly that he is NOT interested in being in a romantic relationship with you, especially if he has a partner? Who's also made it clear that he does not appreciate your behavior?

Just because you're in love with a character doesn't give you the right to ignore their other romantic engagements, and FORCE your feelings on to them. And it's not even as if he's merely flirting-- Kijima actually makes sexual advances on Jinnai as well, such as kissing. That's abhorrent.

If Reiichriou and Jinnai had broken up because they couldn't reconcile their problems, and Jinnai actually went to Kijima for comfort, then his actions would be fine. But it is NOTHING like that. Even when the couple is happy, Kijima intentionally acts to interfere, and break them up. He doesn't give a shit for other people's feelings.

That's ridiculous. And his reasoning is ridiculous as well:

"Hey man, I didn't make advances on you before because I thought you were straight, but now that you're gay, I will make some! Oh, you're in a relationship? Ah, but you're insecure about it, so I'm pretty sure there will be problems! And he will cause you problems! Choose me instead!"

THIS IS JUST SO DISRESPECTFUL, AND I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE CAN POSSIBLY LIKE SUCH AN ABHORRENT CHARACTER. His actions are absolutely repulsive, and while I love the main couple's dynamic, Kijima's action just ruined this manga for me on so many levels.

And it's not even the fact that Kijima is a character that I'm upset; I'm infuriated by how he's PORTRAYED. He's meant to be the sympathetic antagonist, and eventually the main characters are supposed to come around and accept his behavior, and come to realize that he's actually a "good person."

He is NOT a good person.

And I'm sorry, but Jinnai is also really selfish for not breaking up his relationship with Kijima. I rarely want someone to break their bonds with another simply for their lover-- however, this time, I think it would have been the right thing to do.

Why?

Because Kijima doesn't respect his relationship. And more importantly, because Kijima doesn't respect his lover, and purposely does shit to UPSET his lover.

If a "friend" or whatever the hell he is pulls that crap, then he ain't your fucking friend. He's just a self-centered bastard who can't look past his own dick.

And what's even more ridiculous is that Jinnai gets pissed off at Reiichirou for the follow up meetings after the omiai, but continue seeing Kijima in private, while FULLY AWARE OF KIJIMA'S INTENTIONS. Jinnai understands (and even acknowledges) that Kijima will try to prey on him when they're alone. And Reiichirou's even asked him to stop.

Yet, Jinnai sees nothing wrong with meeting up with Kijima? And while I know he repents for this, he still has 0.00% right to get upset at Reiichirou for his omiai meetings with his hypocritical behavior.

I'm sorry, I'm really salty about how Kijima's character was handled here. It's just--

Kijima is not some victim. And Jinnai shouldn't encourage his behavior.

Yet that's how the manga portrays Kijima, and Jinnai DOES allow Kijima to continue his ministrations (by knowingly creating the opportunity).

And I can't stand that. I really can't.

    It's fine! I actually clicked on the annoying thing by accident, and literally just voted my own comment as annoying, lmao.

    I'm surprised I don't have more dislikes, considering how popular Kijima is. XD

    I think their relationship worked progress was also thanks to kijima, because of kijima's LOVE being persistent toward jinnai it makes reiichirou getting jealous and reiichirou being open of his feelling a bit possesive toward jinnai (claimming his mine, so give up!!) Hahahhaha so cuuuute and kijima is a fair person, maybe this only his chance to get jinnai attention of his desperate feeling of jinnai but he said clearly to reiichirou and at the end he tell reiichirou about he is being rejcted at last and admitted to reiichirou that only reiichirou that jinnai loves aaauch not to mention he could be just messing with reiichirou by telling a lie and all, because his love was hopelessly throne out by jinnai because of reiichirou, so that's why I feel thanked for kijima for his bravery hehehehe :D

    I love Kijima. It's not like he forced them to separate or anything. He just took advantage of their down times, and I don't see anything wrong with doing so.

    You really put a lot of emotion and effort into this, but I strongly disagree. Kijima is a good person.

    Just to clarify: I'm not here to convince people that Kijima is a horrible person who everyone should detest. That's why I stated in the beginning that my comment was going to be Kijima hate, and why I didn't want people that liked him to read it and get upset. (Because if I had a character I loved that someone started trashing without warning, I'd burn a fuse, haha.) I simply wrote this comment because I was outraged by his actions, and really just wanted to vent it out, and maybe see some people agree with me, so we could vent together. Mutual frustration and all that jazz.

    If you want to talk about Kijima and why you love him, feel free to do so. I'll be more than happy to respond. But I think at the end of the day, I'll still detest Kijima, and we're probably going to have to agree to disagree.
