If anything those names should be reversed!
Think about it. Shingo is the one who's constantly torturing himself (and constantly crying).
She continually rejects him and yet he seems to love it, (remember him saying: "I even like the fact that she doesn't seem to like me" early on???)---classic masochistic tendencies. The constant rejection turns that boy on..
Meanwhile, Misaki loves to play with her by being so ambiguous and (seemingly) cold with his feelings. Like a sadist, he enjoys that sense of power over her.
Shingo said "I even like the fact that she doesn't seem to like me" once, and that was the only one time I saw him as a masochist. Other than that time he seemed normal. Shingo did give up, then continued to woo her again (strange though, no other obvious masochist tendencies.).
Misaki is even weirder, he doesn't seem like a sadist at all, at the beginning he was just cold. He didn't really seem to enjoy seeing the girl suffer. And later on he didn't display any sadist tendencies as well. |
