Naoki IRIE

I have my fair share of toxic main characters I like, but he is a BIG NO for me. He is way TOO tsundere for me. I thought he would change towards the end, but he never really does. Good Luck Kotoko!

The amount of anger and disgust I feel towards is crazy. He is the worst character I have watched so far. He made the anime so unbearably painful to watch, I ended up skipping through it hoping maybe he would change but nope.  Terrible character through and through. I'm concerned for those who like this narcissistic abuser. 

Irie - Irie is just a major douche and he’s honestly just a really bland and uninteresting character. Even when he falls in love with Kotoko and they get married he’s still cold and abusive and he never apologizes for the horrible things he’s done. There are a few nice moments but then he goes back to being himself. He’s an abusive asshole with a huge ego. He looks down on people who are hard-working and determined just because he’s a fricking genius who’s never worked in his life. It’s literally only the second to last episode that he actually becomes a decent person. Additionally, Irie is not some “cold but deep down loving and just not good at expressing himself” character, he goes out of his way to be cruel, he takes pleasure in humiliating Kotoko. Also, he repeatedly has tons of girls kissing his ass and worshiping him just because he’s good-looking and smart. Like the girls fawn over him while he completely ignores them. If my memory serves me correct, they even watch him be mean to Kotoko. After a few days of him being cold, untalkative and a general asshole you’d assume the girls would realize he’s not worth it and move on but nope they fawn over him and kiss his ass simply because he’s handsome and smart. It’s shallow, it’s superficial and frankly, it’s pathetic. He’s a douche who doesn’t deserve to lick Kotoko’s shoes most of the time and, like every other character, he’s one-dimensional and bland with no personality. Even after they get married Irie is the worst husband in the world, cold, uncaring, abusive, neglectful. A few nice moments just aren’t enough to cancel out how horrible he is and how he purposely wanted to hurt Kotoko.

Abuser af

My hate for this character has been rekindled. He's so abusive towards Kotoko, it's really hard to watch ngl. It probably would be easier to swallow if he was punished more or if he was an antagonist instead of the main guy and love interest, but truth be told, neither happened. He almost always got the last laugh, and everyone kisses the ground he walks on aside from occasional comments about him being "cold" that his mother makes. He doesn't even really work for what he has and he's so arrogant regardless. I mean, can you imagine how easy life is for him, this guy can read a text ONCE and get a 100% on a test. And not only that, but he also inherited good looks and wealth. None of which, are particularly bad things on their own, he can't help how he was born. The problem arises when he is so greater than thou about those things.
