Huh, so it’s back to “anime is being tougher on male characters than female character” issue? I thought we already discuss this in this thread some pages ago.
Note: I also don’t agree with Shimapan’s post about Taichi being "an asshole" to Inaba considering that Taichi has no self-control at the time and Inaba also done the same (or even more, one could argue) to Taichi
intentionally while her self-control was still intact.
