I feel like this sub knows zero shit about Taro, cause how can you genuinely call him boring?
Dude has tons of interest, other than just reading. He likes writing too (has even considered becoming an author after graduating), he likes classical music, calligraphy, bonsai, origami and knows how to play the piano as well. But I bet you all didn’t fucking know that.
Nooo, you just think he likes to be alone and read. Which he does, but you all act like there’s something wrong with that. Then you go and gush over Hazu and Otohiko (both characters I like as well) when they basically do the exact same thing, just different fonts. By your logic, Hazu is boring because all he does is sew, and all Otohiko does is rest in the infirmary or the rooftop. They then deserve just as much criticism as Taro.
But they don’t. Why? Because Otohiko is cute, and Hazu, well… I actually don’t know. I guess you all like his social anxiety, plus sewing skills. My point still stands.
“But Taro is a main character” okay, but he’s still interesting. Also he’s pretty forgiven. For the rejection route, he’s willing to forgive Osana for:
- Food poisoning. -Her ruining a book that means a lot to him.
- Taking inappropriate photos.
- Her essentially ditching him/being late, which is something she always complains he does.
- Her insulting his music by calling it weird, says she can find him something better, and then gives him a tape where she insults him some more.
Like dude is nice. If you fail to do one of these, he’ll forgive her the rest. Same would go for all the other rivals.
And I understand that he was/is rude to Amai during the week at times, but honestly, it wasn’t that bad. Also, from Taro perspective, Amai lied to him and disrespected his wishes, and it’s completely understandable to refuse to eat something when several people gotten sick from it. And again, he can forgive all this, if you fail one of them.
Also, a reminder, he just lost his childhood friend, be it because she’s ignoring him, she’s busy with a boyfriend which made him evaluate his feelings for her, he rejected her, expelled or she’s dead. He’s gonna be a bit hostile no matter what. I think most people would.
Also, to the people who think Taeko (female senpai) is better; They have the same personality. Like she’s going to act the same way. She’s just a girl. You all are gay (which same (well pan)). It also says she’s canonically bisexual, which, to me, makes Taro bisexual. You can’t change my mind.
I will end this by saying: Give my boy a break please
