While he does go along with Satou’s plan, he at the very least realized how messed up he had become and tries to change only to be reeled back in by Satou. Mitsuboshi, however, had not committed any of these actions. The worse case of this has to be when she coerces Mitsuboshi into working for her under the claim of giving him access to see Shio. That’s not even getting into how she also commits blackmail in order to get what she wants. But nevertheless, she has blood on her hands. Sure, the first few murders could be justified to a degree because those individuals genuinely did something heinous to warrant it. For one, she murdered around 3 or 4 people.

While she doesn’t view Shio in that way, she nevertheless commits deplorable actions she tries to excuse as being in the name of love. However, the thing that makes me question where some of the hatred for Mitsuboshi comes from would be Satou’s overall actions. Heck, even those vows they do every night are just Shio’s memories of her mother doing this to her. It’s made pretty clear thus far that she doesn’t perceive Shio in that way, and at most, how she treats Shio could easily be reminiscent of a mother. Taiyo wants Shio for himself because he believes that her innocence could purify him. It should be obvious where the differences lie. But then it gets interesting when Satou recruits Mitsuboshi as her little henchman as a means of getting rid of Asahi strategically.
HAPPY SUGAR LIFE HOW TO
I am by no means defending Mitsuboshi because I do agree that some hate is warranted towards him because he is lusting after a girl who may not even know how to tie her own shoes. And yet…when you compare her with say Mitsuboshi Taiyo, he comes off as the more hated of the two.

It should go without saying that Satou herself is an unrepentant murderer, child abductor, and blackmailer. It’ll probably take legions of priests to cleanse the town of its corruption. I’m surprised that this town wasn’t nuked.
HAPPY SUGAR LIFE SERIES
Happy Sugar Life is definitely a ducked up series with nearly every character not named Shouko being the lowest of the low.
