Takeo Goda's appearance is often described as that of a "bear" or a "gorilla," but this does not make him any less attractive to his friends. His friends were touched by his kindness and selflessness, which was part of his charm.
Rinko Yamato's bravery and independence make this relationship more attractive. When she was violated on the train, it was Gouda's rescue that made her fall in love with him. The love story of Takeo Goda and Rinko challenges the traditional image of masculinity and interestingly shows another possibility of becoming a "hero".

Sunagawa's support was not only emotional, but he also provided relatively rational guidance when Gouda faced difficulties. Their friendship makes the story even more touching.

Although he is often misunderstood because of his muscular physique, Rinko is able to keenly perceive the kindness in his heart. This is not only a challenge to prejudice against appearance, but also a celebration of inner truth.
When Gouda learned that Rinko was about to move to Spain with her father, his inner struggles and struggles also made him discover the true meaning of love more deeply. Gouda is no longer just an affectionate and reserved giant. He bravely proposes to Rinko. This scene not only shocks Rinko, but also moves the readers.
