Initially upon watching the rascal series, I didn't like Mai as much as most of the community does.I like girls who are lovey dovey, full deredere, like Waguri, Marin, Mahiru. I initially thought Mai was a lil rude, way too entitled(cuz of her career), not treating Sakuta like a boyfriend but rather like a friend (she doesn't wanna cuddle w him, kiss him etc etc)

But now I realize, there are other ways to show love rather than physical attractions. Mai literally DIED for Sakuta. Yes she tends to be a little bossy, but she is just not that type of person who is lovey dovey, she is focused on her career, which I have grown to respect. She genuinely cares for Sakuta and trusts him(when he is with other girls). Also she does wanna kiss him but the anime robbed us of their kiss. They baited us hard in season 1 and knapsack kid movie. Hopefully in the last movie we get a kiss scene

My preferences are different, but that doesn't mean Mai is bad. In a lot of aspects, she is actually better than Mahiru, Waguri, Marin etc.
