There is much that is hard to understand. Are women still treated as inferior in Japan? Irie treats the lovely Kotoko like dirt. It is hard to watch his sadism, which he practices from beginning to end, ruthlessly humiliating the poor girl in every possible way. Maybe he should move to Arabia, there the women also have to run 3 meters behind the masters of creation, because they are supposed to be less valuable. He knows no compassion. How will he be a doctor there? Perhaps one should ask such questions to the authors.

He also likes to discriminate against social classes, which he claims to regard as beneath him. Does one live well with such an attitude in Japan?

All of this is supposed to be funny. Obviously, the writers can only realize their kind of wit in a way that hurts people. They probably find it especially funny when someone breaks his neck falling down the stairs.

I also wonder what about this dry technical idiot is supposed to be so attractive to girls? Is he perhaps a charming schmoozer when the camera isn't around?

Amusing is the Irie family, father, mother, the toxic little brother. Especially the mother, a sister of Kotoko in spirit, is cute.
