I have mixed feelings on this. One one hand it's quite funny, especially when the central relationship is viewed from an outsider perspective, so we can see that not just the reader, but also the side characters are side-eyeing this odd relationship. On the other hand, Souta is clearing manipulating Rizu in a way that bothers the heck out of me in real life-men who feign helplessness to get a woman to "mother" them. To be fair though, he manipulates everyone. Plus, Rizu, even with her occasional claims otherwise, doesn't seem too bothered by his dependence on her. I think I'll just have to take this a volume at a time.
