I'm guessing that the stipulations behind Shinkurou's *powers* and situation makes him lose that bit of essential individuality that would have made me endear him. I still think he's basically a tool. A very dangerous and capable one, but still a tool. Not even something that resembles an individual, a human being with independent thoughts and outward emotions. I guess the entire reasoning for Murasaki in the story is to melt the harder aspects of Shinkurou. But I have to agree with some in that the guy still is very hard to like as of now.
