Uehara is probably the worst love interest ever. He's really mean to Nao (the main character) throughout most of the series. While Nao has about a million better love interests that would treat her way better than Uehara; she unfortunately sticks to him like glue. The entire time I spent watching, I was hoping she'd finally realize how genuinely awful he is and leave him for  any of the other better love interests but she never does. However, eventually he becomes somewhat tolerable, I guess. I still think Nao deserves better.
