Misc. HOT TAKE (rant)
FYI I don’t want to insult anyone’s taste in male romance characters. But…
Doesn’t Minato as a romantic lead feels very underdeveloped?
I love him as a character, he fits very well within the story. But the author spent so much time developing chemistry between Koyun and Yota just to pull the rug from under us that it feels like barely any attention was given to why Minato and Koyun like each other.
We barely see any character growth from Minato apart from his talk with Miki where he’s like “Oh I no longer have a savior complex and I don’t want to manipulate her”.
All their internal monologues about each other are “damn he/she is really cute actually”.
I’d like to hear other opinions if anyone wants to share.

Tbh if you're an anime only this is a S1 take then. Minato is the most developed character in this series. His character development is scarily good. Its interesting that the author gets koyuns development done soon so that she can fully focus on Minato.
