part of why i grew to love maizono so much after replaying is that i noticed just how much of a fuck you to expectations she is, especially towards the way heroines are often depicted in japanese media

you think this average, unremarkable guy is going to get a gorgeous, charming idol to love him so easily? HA HA HA

or maybe you’re a pretentious, womanizing idiot who thinks he’s about to get laid by a desirable, popular beauty? HA HA HA HA HA ah ahaaa

her actions are certainly not commendable, and they came back to bite her in the most tragic way… but i adore what she represents nonetheless (｡˘◡˘｡)
