Let's just say Haru was emotionally scarred so bad from all the bullying he experienced from when he was younger. Okay, 12 volumes is too slow character development, but how long is that in the AW universe time? Maybe one year?

Recovering from bullying is not that easy. It takes time, even several years, to recover from being bullied, even with the best support system possible, especially someone like Haru.

You don't expect Haru to become a super-confident badass in a very short span of time (which brings to question again how much time has passed in the story since Haru met KYH), but yes, after getting out of being bullied for quite some time, Haru should at least be able to get out of his comfort zone when he has to. Because it's better to do it but fail than not trying to do it at all.

I think Haru has his courageous moments, but relapses into his old self whenever he experiences the fear of the unknown or something outside of his comfort zone. For example, Noumi, who uses blackmail and psychological warfare against him. Haru is not used to dealing with people like him because he's used to physical and verbal abuse back then. He didn't know how to play Noumi's game, until he finally figured it out on his own.

About the plot, Haru has to deal with the CD Armor himself. I imagined this would take long, because there is real possibility that the armor would possess him if he's not careful.
