Falling in love is a normal part of being a teenager so it doesn't surprise me. I'll say it's expected that he wants to experience a relationship since him entering the school in the first place was to seek out the "world" he was forbidden to see by his father. Puberty is the time where feelings for the other sex starts to go haywire so romance and such is a part of the development, not all of course. I bet we will get more development with other malestudents though we already have quite a bit already if you know what I mean. The anime sure has made an impact to how people now perceive him as this dark, cool, edgelord though...

It's like someone said here once.

Ayano in:

manga - shows emotions inside and out.
book - emotions inside, robot out.
anime - robot inside and out.

It's like you'd see it as a cancer of the story should the guy began to engage a relationship with any girls. Still, what could go wrong with that?

Yet at the same time, being all grim dark & edgy all the time doesn't always make a great story either, if the author failed to add a little more layer of personality to drive the story around as well as improving the audience's perception on a character in an interesting way. It's boring for not doing anything about it at all. A protagonist are suppose to have his/her own perspective center of the story & will have a decent amount of character developments along the way. It's a human nature to change their perception on life as time goes by.

You dont have to take "everyone" so literally lmao its just an expression people use.
and where did you get grim, dark, and edgy from? if its from the "emotionless machine thing" then ill admit that was a bit of an overstatement from my part. theres nothing wrong with romance being a part of Ayanokoujis character development at all, i never said it was unnatural, just my personal preference it stays a tiny priority in his life, as you said its obviously not the main focus of the story.

I swear, the first time I read this my thoughts automatically reacted to Satou-san before I remember that this is not desumachi.

And after that someone mentioned Nagumo and I went straight to arifureta. We only need one OP MC per story! Stop it with the misleading names!

On the chapters' topic, the "Each Individual's Way of Spending" chapter will probably include some shenanigans of Hasebe going out with Sakura to help her buy Aya a present, in the scene of the illustration. And then the first teasing the later to kingdom come with theories about what may happen in the date would be hilarious

[Signa]

I just wanna see how things end up for this volume since I'm pretty sure we've all seen the illustration of Hasebe and Sakura. I'm really curious as to what they will be doing the rest of this volume. So far I'm expecting another low-key yandere moment with Sakura and I'm really looking forward to it.

[tuckersister]

I wonder if there are more members of Kiyotaka's family.

[A7am]

I read all the posts in this thread and wonder why noone is mainly focused on the protagonist rather than his will-to-be romance or main heroine blah blah, like I really want to know about a more detailed kiyo's childhood (family members, training regimen, traumas..etc) or anything in particular that may help us understand the real depth of his personality, redeemable maybe ???

The only family member mentioned in the LN has been his dad. If he has more family members is still unknown.

Also, his past is not fully revealed yet, the only thing that it has been shown is he was educated in the White Room, a place where anything considered as ''unnecessary'' by his dad was thrown away (social relationships for example). You can always read Kiyotaka's meeting with his father to understand a little bit more about his past.

As Uberchelo mentioned, Ayanokoji's past was not touched that much, which is understandable since by what Kinugasa(the writer) said, Youkoso will be a long light novel series, he probably wants to give glimpses of Ayanokoji's past thorughout the volumes and then reveal the full picture later.

a doubt about volume 3. after horikita loses to ibuki, in the anime Ayano while talking with her, presses his fingers on her neck and puts her to sleep. Does this happen in the novel?

I actually find it hard to come up with discussions concerning Kiyotaka because his past and background are so enigmatic and still unknown. It's easy to come up with a couple speculations but it sort of just feels half assed or it doesn't really lead to anything hype worthy in my honest opinion.

On the other hand, discussions about other characters are more prominent due to the fact that we know more about them than we do to Ayanokouji. Also don't forget about things like the characters SS which help open them up to us readers more and their interactions.

[A7am]

Well that means for the time being we should still wait for dem flashbacks if we ever got a 2nd season.
And thanks guys.

I am pretty aware of the fact that the other characters are more open for discussion due to their given SS, yet i am also more attracted to the most interesting character ; the protagonist, i mean undoubtly IRL if you ever saw someone so reserved yet so terrifyingly capable of anything is just breath taking no matter his age.

When even Ayanokouji has problems talking about his past due to him comparing it like a blank slate, we can guess that either their personalities haven't been allowed to be acted upon, or that in his view, nothing that happened there was worth talking about.

He even says he started "living" when he entered the school so if there is a place we can start seeing his "character" it's at the school and not in his past where he most likely was like a robot, just following orders. From what we know, he is a good judge of character (able to see his classmates' strengths and weaknesses), has a curiosity for the unknown (what happens when etc etc), he is starting to value friendship (as seen in his group) etc. He has a somewhat low self-esteem, maybe because he values the abilities he doesn't have higher like social abilities and the ability to get a girlfriend? He seems to want those things, but feels he can't since he is aware of his lack of required skills.

If there is something he got when entering the school, it's self-preservation. He seems to be able to do anything to maintain status quo, staying at school. The island exam, Karuizawa case was all just an extension to his wish to stay there. In that case, he shares this trait with Karuizawa and Kushida who all seems to just wanting to protect themselves no matter methods.

Spoiler:

Prepare the torches & pitchfork, people.

Yeah, this better be a fake spoilers. There's no way Kinugasa would be so eager to shot himself on his knee.
