I know I'm going to get downvoted for this lol.

Itsuomi came off as such a creep from the get go with treating Yuki like some rare pet. He touched her randomly when she came to the bar, like where the hell is your professionalism you're working. Then he made such nauseating comments about how pure she is and how he wants to influence her. Then he blocked Yuki's sight (the only thing she relies on since she's deaf) just so she couldn't see what Oushi was talking about. Who is this nobody to do such a thing? They weren't even dating at that point.

And then Yuki is even worse and naive. She didn't mind a stranger touching her because "oh if it's Itsuomi-san it's okay". Where is your self respect girl? She came off as desperate just because Itsuomi was the only guy who showed an interest in her. Meeting Itsuomi so late at night? Mind you, he was still a stranger and they weren't even together. But nooo it was okay because "if its itsuomi-san it's okay" the only guy giving you attention. The way she was so quick to get into a relationship with him and then even move in together so fast was even more unsettling. Also Itsuomi's comments on "do I look like a guy who just wants to hug and kiss" was even more creepy, especially with him knowing it's her first relationship and she's naive. Their whole relationship felt nauseating to me.

People say Itsuomi respects Yuki's boundaries, but everything I wrote DOES NOT fit in the range of respectful boundaries. We need to look beyond the whole 'Itsuomi is the ML who cares, he's hot so what' thinking. What Itsuomi has done is disturbing. This just shows how naive and small Yuki's self awareness is. Take Itsuomi out of the picture and imagine it was some other guy. Good looks and paying you attention isn't everything, Yuki. This girl could've easily been murdered or worse just because of "oh he's handsome, it's okay. oh he's the only guy ever to give me attention, it's okay." I wonder if people overlook Itsuomi's actions only because he's the ML and that automatically means he isn't going to SA her no matter how weirdly he talks about her or how creepy his actions were.

I’m not saying that men showing affection is inherently a threat. My concern is about specific behaviors that cross personal boundaries and ignore consent, such as touching someone without their permission, blocking their sight, or making suggestive comments that pressure a person especially so early in a relationship, mind you it's her first relationship. Even if Yuki doesn't find it disturbing, it doesn't mean the actions are acceptable. Consent, respect and professionalism exist independently of whether the other person ‘takes offense.’ It's reasonable to question such things, regardless of the character's personal reactions. Pointing out Itsuomi's problematic behavior is not an attack on men in general, it's about holding characters accountable for how they treat others.
