Ichigo X Masaya - Tumblr Posts
Hot take: Masaya is a good person and better boyfriend for Ichigo. Y’all just prefer Kisshu because he’s hotter.
As much as I love OG Anime Masaya, he always felt too... perfect? You know what I meant? Great at sports, great at school, etc. But even though Manga Masaya is like that too, there was something else I liked about him and I just realized why:
THAT BOY IS DENSE
Seriously, take one look at this boy:
Does this look like a boy intelligent enough to figure out that his girlfriend is a catgirl superhero? No. This is a beautiful dumbass of a boy, and he deserves his blissful ignorance.
Really, he is at his peak when the story allows his natural dense nature to appear.
Exhibit A: Masaya with a handkerchief:
Exhibit B: Masaya's idea of a perfect date
Exhibit C: Masaya's rationale for Ichigo's behaviour
Exhibit D: Masaya vibing with the other Mews' weird quirks
Exhibit E: Masaya vs Cat!Ichigo
Good lord, even Not-the-Brightest-Bulb Ichigo knows how clueless he is:
Ladies and gentleman, this man right here is an all-powerful evil dictator who could absolutely wipe out Earth!
