The Proper Way to Write Love Episode 2

One Stars

as is the eps so short - idk why we needed that whole plot with the kid destroying the flowers. wish they just focused on the mains. as is there is a lot of clearing up & disclosing to do IMO - did more happen between the pair - is that why Hiroshi reacted like he was faced by his childhood bully? idk - i need to see more. what i know is that Natsuo is the character i am rooting for, he is almost childlike in his reactions & actions. hard not to like him. *******************************************************************wish Hiroshi would come clean, so they could communicate & clear up whatever misunderstanding they had between them, so they can move on

Still only okay...

I still don't really like the MC much. He honestly just seems like he's being a jerk to the ML. Yes, it's weird and a bit creepy that the ML just pops into the MC's house to make him breakfast in the mornings, claiming the door was open, but MC hasn't really questioned it or checked the locks at night to make sure ML can't come in, so I don't know what to really make of the situation in that regard. However, the ML is literally there to make the MC breakfast, and he doesn't do anything more questionable than that, so it seems more like his behavior from high school of simply inserting himself into MC's life because he likes him is just continuing.

As far as the "bullying" from high school we see in MC's flashbacks goes, he just didn't seem to want anyone in his life at all, and that's why he was so bothered by the ML. While I get that that sets some people off, and their feelings toward people insisting on being in their lives are valid, I can't bring myself to be mad at ML for wanting to be part of the MC's world enough to insert himself into MC's day in a realistically non-threatening way. From a psychological perspective, there are significant mental and emotional benefits to having someone insert themselves into your life, even when you want to remain insular, over time. After all, humans are not solitary creatures by nature, even those who are neurodivergent.

--
All in all, I find the ML super likable....the MC, not so much. I am watching it on GagaOOlala, and the title info doesn't suggest any reason to like the MC, so it seems likely that this is one of those stories where the ML makes the MC a better person whom we can then grow to appreciate, if not end up liking.
