I've seen some people saying Kashima is a boring person compared to Yaguchi. Sure, Yaguchi might be more "interesting" to some given his two-faced and complex personality, while some viewers see Kashima as "boring" because he's presented as the nice, cheerful, and stable character in a sea of chaotic, dysfunctional, and dramatic personalities. But he is far from boring. While other characters are defined by their warped viewpoints or intense trauma, Kashima brings a sense of normality, kindness, and stability.
His relationship with Toono is one of the most developed and healthy relationships in the
series. Unlike the dramatic, jealousy-fueled relationships surrounding them, Kashima genuinely cares for Toono, even revealing his feelings directly rather than playing games. Some viewers find the chaotic, toxic behavior of other characters entertaining, leading them to dismiss a "normal" character as boring. However, Kashima serves as a crucial
emotional anchor. Without his grounded personality, the manga's intense and often dark
parody elements could become overwhelming. Kashima's "niceness" hides a complex, often insecure boy who's trying to hold onto a relationship despite not knowing if his love is
truly reciprocated, often having to compete with Yaguchi. This vulnerability, hidden beneath a smile, gives him emotional depth that goes beyond the one-note tropes of other characters. Kashima's character is misunderstood by some or called "boring" or "underrated" because his personality isn't as explosive as other characters, but his role as the sincere, proactive, and loving heart of the story makes him a vital and interesting character. In short, Kashima is NOT boring. He's a stable, genuinely affectionate, and relatively healthy character in a story designed around unhealthy dynamics.
I purchase it myself i can also confirmed that Toono and Kashima won the character popularity poll! Yes!!!!!!!!! The 6 page is so cute
Can you tell me what is about the the kashitoono extra? Please
I can answer that since I have the book myself. The 20 page is Jimmy protecting Yuri from someone and they make love together. (Hug is cute) and 6 page is Toono and Kashima walking home in the rain together. (Similar to Kashima holding the umbrella for Yacchan in Sensei drawings)
Ooooow thank you very much! You are an angel, are they cute?
They are. Toono sees Kashima getting wet from the rain and they clumsy try to protect themselves from getting wet. They are a bit awkward but its cute.
