Throughout my (short) time on this sub, I've noticed that, while there are those who share my opinion, the majority of the sub hates on Rui because she is "selfish and insecure", while Hina is considered a near perfect person. But is that really so?
When we are introduced to Hina she seems like a really nice person who stays away from anything improper, yet we soon find out she's dating a married guy. She does break up with him and for some time everything is fine. Then she cathes Rui and Nat kissing, goes on to reprimand her only to date Nat herself later on. What makes it worse was that he was her student. Later on she makes a sacrifice and moves on to another school so Nat could stay in the school. And she again does it by rejecting him on the island. In the meantime, Nat and Rui start dating and everything is fine for some time. Now we come onto the "insecure" part. Many people here find Rui beings insecure as something that should be frowned upon, yet in other examples, such as Mao, that's just cute. We've seen several characters show insecurity throughout the manga, yet for some reason, Rui is the only one who gets hated for it. Yes, her insecurity was a problem in her relationship with Nat as she was becoming obsessive because of it, but is something she was aware of and it stemmed from the fear of losing the man she loves, something a person should not be hated for. After the incident with Miyabi and the writing block, the pep talk from Marie helped her realise what was wrong with her and she decided to break up with Nat so she wouldn't become a burden on him. She decided she needs to improve herself if she wants to have a future with Nat.
