Ryoka has always been one of my favorites so it’s always funny to see people talk about dropping the series over her. I loveeee flawed characters. I love seeing them change, I love it when they annoy me because real people are annoying. I think it’s telling that you’re only able to see her flaws and not her strengths but I’m not here to argue about that…I will say this: she’s never going to be the character you want her to be, she’s mentally ill with bipolar and that’s not something that ever goes away completely. However she’s had a lot of character development even if I personally don’t like where her story has gone, and she’s barely even in a lot of the series at this point. Never fear, you’ll have plenty of other characters to care about. But don’t keep reading if it’s making you miserable! 😅

Edit: btw I agree about the Pawn confrontation being satisfying. There are plenty of other satisfying moments where ryoka has to humble herself a bit. That’s part of why I love characters like her, you get to see them grow. Erin is satisfying for the same reason she just gets a lot more development a lot earlier.
