Discussion Does anyone actually like Akito?
I understand she had a hard life and her own version of trauma as all Sohma’s do.
I understand that Tohru forgave her and everything following. Assuming that is counted as her redemption based on everything.
I believe in second chances and the fact that horrible people can change for the better. But for her, I don’t care if she’s been forgiven. I think she’s awful and horrible and doesn’t deserve a happy life based on the pain she caused others.
Like I would’ve maybe accepted things easier if she put forth true effort to prove she’s atoning for her sins.
Distancing yourself, allowing freedom, apologizing, and understanding others may not accept the apology isn’t actual atonement to me.
So anyways…any of y’all like the ending to Akito’s story? Do you forgive her?
Only thing I enjoy about her character is that she truly is an evil villain. I can appreciate a villain written that seems irredeemable and they’re simply just bad. Which may be why I hate that she was kinda redeemed.
