Unparalleled love for the main character (Hatiman)
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
One thing that is essential when talking about Totsuka is his free love for Hachiman.
Even during the time when the whole class was giving him the cold shoulder for dissing Sagami Minami during the school festival, Totsuka never left him.
What is it that makes Totsuka so crazy about him?
One thing for sure is that Totsuka has an admiration for Hachiman.
Totsuka describes Hachiman’s attitude of trying to solve things by himself as “cool”.
He also said that Yawata, who usually complains a lot, “does his best by himself without whining even if it’s hard or difficult.
It’s a sign that Yawata understands that the whining and resentment he’s expressing is not really whining and resentment.
She understands him to that extent, and she admires him.
The love interest of a man’s daughter character can be the opposite sex or the same sex.
There is no definition of which is more common, and there is no definition of a man’s daughter because she likes the same sex.
There are male girls who want to be girls, and therefore want to fall in love with men, and there are also male girls who just look like girls and are in love with the opposite sex.
However, if a girl looks like a girl and is also romantically interested in men, she is usually determined to be a man’s daughter, although it is not a single combination.
It is extremely important to know whether or not Totsuka’s fondness for Hachiman is a romantic interest.
To sum it up, Totsuka’s fondness is for an object of admiration.
To Totsuka, who is a good-natured person but has surprisingly few friends and struggles with building relationships and how to be himself, Yawata, who has the same problems but is unconcerned about them, is the ideal figure for him, and his desire to get as close to that figure as possible is exuded throughout the story.
Therefore, Totsuka’s extraordinary love for Yawata cannot be a factor that determines that she is a man’s daughter.
Officials treat her like a heroine
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
There are many sites that recognize Totsuka as a male daughter. For example, on Wikipedia’s “Male Daughter” page, Totsuka’s name is firmly listed in the “Male Daughter Characters” section.
In addition, Totsuka’s name can also be found in the Pixiv Encyclopedia’s article “List of male daughters” and the Nico Nico Encyclopedia’s article “Male daughters”.
In a goo survey, “What is the cutest ‘man’s daughter’ character in anime history? and many other sites’ rankings of male daughters, it’s safe to say that Totsuka is a well-known fact that she is a male daughter character.
On the other hand, the official version of the story treats Totsuka as a heroine.
Usually, the hero and heroine make up the majority of illustrations in school romantic comedy light novels, and male characters other than the hero are drawn only once every few volumes.
However, Totsuka is drawn every time in volumes 2 to 5, and even graces the cover in volume 5.
After the middle of the series, the frequency of illustrations decreases as Hachiman and the heroines become the main characters, but in volumes 10 and 10.5, Totsuka appears again as an illustration.
The best part is the merchandise.
Usually, goods for male characters in romantic comedies are few and far between, and even goods with a group picture of all the main characters are often hoarded, but Totsuka has several newly drawn illustrations, and many goods have been produced.
However, Totsuka’s illustrations have been drawn up and many goods have been produced, many of which feature her in very revealing outfits.
Also, in the consumer game “My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected”. In the sequel, there will be a separate route for each heroine.
In the sequel, individual routes are also provided.
Taking all of this together, Totsuka is completely represented as one of the heroines.
From the above, Totsuka is both a man’s daughter and a heroine, but I have the impression that she is more of a heroine.
We can conclude that she is more of a heroine than a man’s daughter.
Summary
A man’s daughter, in a broad sense, can be summarized as a male character with feminine characteristics.
Therefore, I don’t disagree that Totsuka, who has a girlish appearance, has elements of a man’s daughter and is included in the category of man’s daughter characters.
However, she is more of a heroine, and it would be more appropriate to say that she is Hachiman’s and everyone’s wife before she is a man’s daughter.
What I’m trying to say is that Totsuka is a real angel.
