Personally, I don’t care for Riftan and I haven’t in a very long time. I understand that in his mind, he is doing everything in his power to protect Maxi from all the horrors he’s seen. But, in the same way he said he didn’t ask the princess for help, neither did Maxi, if I’m remembering correctly. Everyone around them has given Maxi the opportunity to show that she is her own person and has her own views on things. Riftan refuses anything she wants to do to help him, no matter how big or small. Granted, he didn’t know about her abuse and didn’t know to take that into consideration when speaking to her the way he does. However, I do have to agree with everyone saying he likes the idea of her and not actually Maxi herself. I won’t say he doesn’t love her since I believe he does; he’s just so toxic and emotionally constipated that he doesn’t give her the time of day if it even sounds like she wants to do something that he doesn’t even want her to speak about. That’s just my understanding of what I’m reading though
I honestly thought he would develop in the later seasons and that something would eventually change in him. I understand that people in that era could have had very controlling attitudes, and obviously people like that still exist today. I was willing to give him a chance because I thought his behavior might be a product of his circumstances and that he would eventually grow out of it.
But this man literally doesn’t change. After hearing the spoilers that they still don’t properly reconcile even after the four-year time skip, I completely gave up on him. If he had genuinely changed after Season 1 or around 40–50 chapters—especially by learning to communicate instead of constantly taking his frustration out on her—I could have eventually liked him. But he keeps repeating the same behavior, and at this point I genuinely don’t understand why the story keeps trying to frame everything as if his behavior is justified.
this story reminds me of sword art online in the sense that the female characters just have to have a crush on medaka and if they don’t then they are either pushed to the side or harassed
it feels like none of the characters are very flushed out, considering how it’s at over 200 chapters
i still plan on reading bc im nosy but jeez i really wish there wasn’t this dumb rivalry between the girls, especially since we alr know he doesn’t like anyone except mona
i don’t really like when authors use like slurs in their stories
lowk it made me laugh I’m sorry
i wish the comment didnt cut half of what i said i said ik is used for like shock value but…they dont have to do that like at all
i think they’d be a great couple and id love them more if he just told the truth has fr been 40 chapters of nice sex and pussyfooting around
pussyfooting around but fr
can’t stand theo fuckass haircut
It gets worse when you notice what colour it is in the cover. But you have to admit, it is pretty potent character design.
I also thought like this when I started reading. But I like he looks good with this haircut,it makes him unique
Honestly i like the haircut and i think it suits him, but oh god i forgot that it's green
Omg what??! Have I not been paying enough attention i literally thought it was blonde this whole time :')
When it's black and white same. I think blonde would suit him better
i forgot wasn’t blonde now it’s worse
It is blonde. He’s got dirty blonde hair, you can see it better on the manga cover.
All i see is green
yall hating that it seems rushed im just happy my king higuruma is alive i can live with this disney kaisen
this is like watching character potential being diminished in real time and idk how the author does it
like how do u take a character who was arguably pretty shitty when u started out, give some hope they’ve grown, and then just shit on it completely like oh my gosh wtf
