What! How was Koujaku your least favorite but Mink was your favorite boyfriend!

AYRT: I just didn't find Koujaku that interesting, lmao. I've never really liked the childhood friend to lovers trope, and I just saw a lot of Koujaku in the fandom. I found his personality a little boring too. He struck me as a very generic pretty boy with angsty background, I didn't find it all that engaging. But Mink I thought was very complex and deep and I related to him a lot (the whole push-people-away-so-they're-not-hurt-when-you-die thing resonated me when I played the game). And, I feel like the rape storyline was handled very well and not glossed over like other BL games (and other routes in dmmd). Plus his route in re:connect was beautiful.

Fair enough. I don't usually like childhood friend lover tropes either, but I was more interested in Koujaku because he had been away for a long time and then come back, rather than a situation where they grew up together. I'd say all the boyfriends had angsty backstories, and while Koujaku was probably written to ping the more generic nice-boy fans, I thought he was pretty well-written and I liked his design. Plus, you really got a sense that he cared about Aoba and watched out for him, it felt pretty genuine to me - especially since it was a contrast to the other options.

I actually was interested in Mink's storyline, too, I just didn't like how Aoba so easily forgave him at the end, and ran off to find him in re:connect. But that didn't make Mink any less interesting, he was a solid character.
