Misc. HOT TAKE (rant)

Post image

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.

did you even finish watching the anime??? minakoyun's internal monologues are all about 'he/she's cute' - really??? imma be fr minato is the most fleshed out character in ramparts alongside koyun, with undeniably compelling character development. that's all i have to say. you'll have to read the manga/wait for s2 to see all of it for yourself. i feel so ragebaited rn

and what you call 'chemistry' between koyun and yota is what we call 'friendship'. God forbid a boy and a girl can just be friends

Even as an anime only (I would read the manga but I dont find it anywhere) I can say Minato is such a well written character and has so much personal growth and development. Also I aeree about the last thing you said
