Especially for someone who is like a genuinely pretty alright character and nothing standout either. And like, I like the dude but I've seen people go way too overboard with their love for him.

I can't say I get the obsession in the slightest, but to each their own I suppose!

I get it, many (myself included) clamour on and on for the return of Hiromi. But when he's splattered everywhere on promotion, a blu-ray special telling you "Hey, look at that! He's not dead!", of course I and many others would be latching on the closest thing that signaled his return. That being the initial magazine scans for Over Demons.

I'm a fan of Hiromi because of his underdog story, and also because he might be only one of the few characters I actively enjoyed seeing on-screen. Kagerou and George too. But I won't deny how he was treated as a character was disappointing. Rather the three of them, actually.

Honestly, at this point, it's not even about Hiromi returning, it's about how the Demons Driver went to this literal simp. It feels undeserved. I'd say Genta or Masumi had more reasons to use Over Demons than him, to top it off it's not even a proper debut.
