I want to dislike this princess, but she is giving me the vibe of someone who is being groomed ( T﹏T ) she may be in a position of "power", but if she grew up sheltered and became so naive because of that then she couldn't help it.
Take that to someone you may know that seems like a smart and logical person, but failed/fails to see the red flags in a friend/partner/someone special to them even if the rest could clearly see it. If It happens to plenty of people who was not sheltered or overprotected, just imagine how it goes for someone who grew up like that ( ̄∇ ̄")







The age gap was so unnecesary (plot wise) because Takumi doesn't even look or act his age during his interactions with Satsuki ( ̄∇ ̄"). Nothing in him really says he is the older one except for the fact that he drinks and smokes lmao Sensei could have easily made both of them be the same age and the premise of the story would work exactly the same ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ Makes you wonder what exactly was supposed to be achieved when the age difference doesn't really add anything note worthy. I guess something was learned from here because Pittosporum is amazing.
