The 1001th rant about Takumi

I love him, he’s a shameless otaku who barley can function socially. But I love him. Throughout most of the VN all I wanted to do was give him a hug. He didn’t deserve the suffering he went through. He needed psychiatric intervention, and when he went to the hospital I kept screaming for the doctors to realize something was up with him and put him in a psych ward. The last few chapters really made me realize how truly strong he is. People give him shit for being weak and pathetic, but the guy went through way too trauma for someone with no support structure. You expect a mentally ill man living alone in a container to be able to talk to people? Please. Most of all I relate to him growing as a person and becoming more confident. His character arc was really what carried the visual novel for me. I love Takumi-kun.

TLDR: he’s the Shinji Ikari of the Science Adventure Games
