| Funny story. I visited animenews network and there was a top list of anime worst boyfriends and Toma was number one of the list. I'm not joking http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/the-list/2013-03-09 What do you people think? Does he really deserve to be on top of the list? |

| Definitely. When I was watching I had half a thought that maybe....he would move to remote area with a well. Chuck her down the well with a bottle of lotion & tell her to start rubbing it on her skin (Heroine would of course do that - possibly even with 'wow he cares about my skin in this damp well'. Orion: 'What are you an idiot?!?!'). Then of course he'd say well I've decided the best way to protect you is to actually kill you and stuff you &/or start wearing your skin. Hope you understand. It's all because I love you. Heroine:....guess so. (Okay only joking as that would be a rather 'bad end' to a game route...but still....) Although he does have strong competition if we're talking all of shoujo. Would have to think - it would be tough. |

The person who makes top ten list on animenews network mostly takes characters from anime not manga. When I watched amnesia, I actually kinda liked Toma. He looked nice, caring and in my opinion had the best design. I didn't expect him to turn out to be an actual monster. Being overprotective is one thing, but putting her in a cage, that looks more like a dog cage then for human, really crosses the line. If it includs toys, it still doesen't make the situation any better. |

phoenixalia said: I don't really watch or read anime with smut or abusive relationships but Toma does scare me. Depens. Some of mangakas do use possesive boyfriend as a chalange for the main couples reletionship. I notice that in shoujo mangas and even western media, the heroine is giving the role of fixing the bad boyfriends attitude. Something like retteling of Beuty and the beast, where Bella needs to change the beast into nice person and human in order for their reletionship to work. There are however works, where the creators think, if the boyfriend is possesive, it's a good thing *chough* cough* twilight*. |

Just comparing him with the other guys on the list makes me go YOU SERIOUS? It makes me wonder if they'll add Ukyou there once his route progresses. LOL! xD |

| Every main guy in the anime is considered creepy or in the similar sense for me, but from good sense (caring about the heroine), anyway. Edit: Except for Kent, who is in slightly different category. |

| Now that I'm really looking at this, Toma reminds me in a way of Erik for the Phantom of the Opera. However, I think Erik is way more well-liked than Toma. I myself am a solid Erik/Christine shipper, yet for some reason cannot get behind Toma's reasoning. I think its probably because Erik has a way better and more tragic backstory and you can see why he does the things he does. Toma's reasons are not at all convincing and seem shallow in comparison. |

| This is ridiculous! I don't think he deserves to have that image of "Horrible Boyfriend" and worst be on 1st place in a top 10 ¬¬ ... Yes, he can be quite scary for the way he acts with Heroine by locking her in a cage, but that doesn't mean that he is abusive to her... He is just trying to protect her but he choose the worst choice there could be to do it... He is aware of the mistake his making and he even says to Heroine that if she decides not to see him again that he would understand which I think you can acknowledge that he doesn't feel good with what he is doing, now I know that in the bad ending of the game he goes completely insane but that's because Heroine doesn't trust him... And I think some characters have their creepy side including Toma but there are worst characters... and for me Toma is not one of them... |

| Really scary, although I wouldn't say worst. Has anyone ever seen Honey x Honey Drops? I mean seriously Toma doesn't hold a candle to how bad that guy is. I totally see where she was going with trying to understand though, I mean she grew up with and knew the guy so she at least knew he wasn't normally like that, albeit he did go off the deep end, although not as much as mr. green haired man psycho. |

| I think a big part of it is the context. I haven't seen/read much of Mirai Nikki, but it's a psychological thriller/horror anime (ie. it is pretty much necessary for there to be violent psychopaths, and hating that there is one or two or several running around is just dumb), and I'm pretty sure Yuno is made out to be seen as completely off her rocker and her actions as not actually romantic. Amnesia is a romance anime and Toma is being presented not as a sick individual who should be reprehended for his actions, but as a sympathetic character for doing all that out of love and then feeling bad about it. Both situations are incredibly unhealthy, but only one of them is trying to let us realize that. |

I like yanderes male and female and I like Yuno purely because she was entertaining and the show portrayed that yes, her actions were not romantic. Toma pissed me off because he made me sit through his pointless angsting over a misunderstanding that would have been solved had he not unnecessarily snapped. It doesn't help that the anime/game romanticizes it and in the end it was deus ex machina'd. |

You do realize that people who watch mirai nikki are mostly different audience and why they like her so much are tottaly different reasons. (For your info I'm not her fan either) People love Gasai because she brought great suspense for the show and how smart she was at some situations. Her obsession with Yuki, people mostly take it as a joke. On top of that, people knew with what kind of anime and charecters they're dealing with. As for Toma. It just happened that the audience, who watch Amnesia, just wanted to see some nice romance. What Toma did was just unexpected and for some inappropriate. ( Just imagine how people feel, when School days came out) In my opinon they just didn't handle his yandere character well and could be done better. |

Out of all the romances she has gone through one of them would of had Toma's personality. There are plenty of people just like him in the real world who would go much farther than he did, so seeing at least one of his type isn't strange in the slightest for this type of show. What this show has done is show it is most definitely not a romance show. She doesn't get enough time to be with any one of the characters before being whisked off to another boy, and the entire setting doesn't allow for any romance. If anything this is a mystery/suspense show. The Heroine really shouldn't be feeling any romance for any of them, and what she does show is fake. |

Zatheyll said: It was very believable though. Out of all the romances she has gone through one of them would of had Toma's personality. There are plenty of people just like him in the real world who would go much farther than he did, so seeing at least one of his type isn't strange in the slightest for this type of show. That's no reason to expect it in the show. Yes, there are plenty of guys who are possessive, but this is not meant to be realistic average guys. There are a reason to expect it however. Zatheyll said: What this show has done is show it is most definitely not a romance show. She doesn't get enough time to be with any one of the characters before being whisked off to another boy, and the entire setting doesn't allow for any romance. If anything this is a mystery/suspense show. The Heroine really shouldn't be feeling any romance for any of them, and what she does show is fake. I'm afraid that's just wishful thinking. It's based on a game, and it's very much an otome harem game. The inclusion of someone like Toma is because a large part of the audience wants it. Just check the poll on this forum. And that's not surprising, they include it because it sells. There are even otome h games where the heroine gets raped. And they keep making those because it sells. |
