In fact, Kiva is completely full of great character development for nearly every main character. There are some issues plot wise, but the characters more than make up for it.

No, believe us. He's terrible from beginning to end.

But there is no excusing Wataru. I found him dull to watch. He and Haruto are two examples of extremes. Where Haruto grew and evolved so slowly it was difficult to notice and hard to tell, Wataru just...Changed. One episode he was crying in his tub like a bitch, the next he was suddenly more of a man than King and didn't take shit from no one.

It was jarring, it was contrived, it was boring.

Also this.
