character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS
ship with: This is a toughie! But I have this crack pairing idea of him and Shin because I find it hilarious in my head when two utterly contrasting personalities argue. Though I don’t know exactly who I would ship him seriously with.
brotp: Tatsuki. I think a good nurtured friend like him can keep Kounosuke in check…at least when Tatsuki isn’t drunk.
general opinions: Okay real talk. Kounosuke tends to be the most polarizing character in the game and most of the time people don’t bother critiquing his route, instead they choose to hate directly on him. Ostensibly, it’s because he’s annoying and irresponsible, but I think truly a lot of people hate him because he holds a mirror up to them and reflects parts of themselves they reject. I really like Kounosuke personally because he reminds me of some friends I’ve had in the past who are all people with good hearts.
I really hope he gets a rewritten route. For example, they could’ve used the fact he wasn’t so good at exams as a way to explore Kounosuke as someone who isn’t conventionally smart. I feel Kounosuke is smart, just in other ways like one would see described in Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence. I would’ve liked to see his route go in a direction where you help him discover he isn’t some one dimensional ditz, but rather someone with a ton of potential as a lover and as a person.
