Poor Tohru. I genuinely do feel bad for him, it's gotta be crushing knowing that even though you've changed, your history is so dark that you have slim odds of having a successful love life.

He could have had a girlfriend, instead of stalking her, all he had to do was shut the gently caress up for a little instead of blabbing his regrettable ancient history to the woman who'd just accepted his proposition within seconds of her acceptance.

He needs to learn to stop his habitual foolish philosophising, to still his mind. Though I doubt he'll attend his local Buddhist temple or similar to learn, it would make him insufficiently tragic for the comic.

Yeah pretty much.

An important way of being accepted is in the way you communicate your issues to the people you trust enough to reveal them to. And appropriate timing of that reveal.

I think you're all being rather harsh on a guy who has had a traumatic past, feels guilty about what he's done, and lives in a society that doesn't believe in mental problems. He didn't seem to have any real friends in his life until Oda. It's no wonder on his first date he felt like he had to say something to someone.

It's his first attempt at a girlfriend, I'd be far more shocked if he was able to not mess it up.

Yeah, NEET's basically skipped all the socialization and growing up people do in their late teens/20s. Whatever socialization happened in gay baby jail wouldn't exactly prepare him for the non-gay-baby-jail world.

I know it sucks for NEET but this is a hard lesson to learn in life.

People can choose to do what ever they want with the information we give them. It sucks NEET has to learn it this way.... But if he wants to be happy he needs to learn it.

It's going to be one painful situation after another for NEET, but that's how you learn sometimes.

I for one am not trying to be harsh on him, I do sympathise and empathise... But NEET chose this path (well technically we did so we the readers are somewhat to blame), he chose to be a NEET, he chose to be a criminal he chose everything that brought him to this point. NEET actively chooses his outlook on life.

If I'm harsh, it's to point out the results of those choices, that this is the obvious out come and I like the author shows this. It makes me think the author is trying to talk directly to NEET readers, to explain how life works.

Funny fact: a old work buddy told me a bunch of stories about an old flat mate he had. This guy we will call Bobo was a "that" guy. I was always tempted to post or get him to post in GBS about him. Anyway, what we seen happen with NEET and Mii played out exactly like a situation that actually happened in one of BoBo's stories.

The criminal arc kind of seems like a dead end. It's got a lot of twists and cringe but there is no way it's going to have a satisfactory end.

Edit: Oda is pretty cool though.
