I know a lot of people find her irritating and annoying but I don’t see her that way. She’s just trying to hold on to the love she’s found, she might not be doing it the right way but it’s not 100% her fault. Kazuya could have easily just cut things off with her after a week but he didn’t. Then he complains about how he wishes he had a girlfriend to do things with and completely forgets about Ruka. Like it’s totally unfair to her and I sympathize with her about it. I just wanted to see how everyone sees Ruka.

Besides the obvious fact, that she is possessive, annoying and in fact self-centered, her entire backstory doesn't make sense and is completely idiotical.

Kazuya somehow made her heart go "doki doki" for no reason like a typical harem MC he is, and that's literally it.
This is such a lazy justification to why anyone would fall in love with someone as repulsive as Kazuya, that it is almost comedic.
She seems to be a softer version of yandere. That's why she just want to have Kazuya for herself, which should not be mistaken for love.

Exactly. And if Kazuya really didn’t want her interfering with his development with Chizuru, then he would have YEETED this girl already. HE is the trash bag in this equation.

I mean it a 2d person who is a character in a story about real life. You can definitely sympathize with someone like that. Just like you can sympathize with a character from a movie

I don’t like her because she can’t take a hint that Kazuya isn’t interest in her. She’s selfish, manipulative, forceful, clingy, and an overall eyesore. She literally blackmails Kazuya into “dating” her by keeping his rental girlfriend relationship with Chizuru hostage (especially when she shows up uninvited when he was with Chizuru and his grandmother). She even makes a scene in public when things didn’t go her way to make Kazuya look like the bad guy. I honestly can’t see how anyone can like her.

Yes! I’ve been enjoying Ruka’s role more and more, the “love” story and justification for her character is a bit non-existent, but in the middle of all characters she’s the one who actually has the balls to say some truth bombs to the other girls and get the plot going

How can she take hints when our Trash literally almost confess to Ruka and almost banged with her? And as far as I know Ruka said it was a trial relationship to make our Trash like her.

Cause Kazuya is a dumb and horny. It’s very clear throughout the series he thinks with his junk which made it easy for Ruka to get as far as she did when she was at his place. He does not have any romantic interest in her and yet she still makes moves on him even though he clearly has eyes for Chizuru. It being a “trial relationship” doesn’t justify blackmail

I KNOW RIGHT!!! Like Ruka is for real the best girl in the show.. Unlike all the other girls Ruka is the only one actually telling Kazuya HE IS IMPORTANT TO HER but our trash of a MC couldn’t give a less of a fuck about the only girl who’s actually truly in love with him. I know the chances of Ruka getting to be with Kazuya is very low but I would still love to have her get a nice happy End.

I think personality wise she isn't bad it's the fact that kazuya is trying his absolute best to try and push himself out (try in quotations) to get out of his situation and ruka just makes it worse

A lot of people are like mami more because she’s basically saying how it is to Kazuya and saying this whole this is stupid, which she’s not wrong. People also like her because she makes things interesting by starting drama I guess. Then those same people think that Ruka is annoying and clingy etc.

I don’t particularly like her either. However she’s also not entirely to blame since kazuya could have been straight up with her. But he doesn’t seem to know how to do that. If he really love Chizuru then he shouldn’t be flirting and encouraging all these other young ladies. But that’s a harem for ya.

Her character is one dimensional, her traits are those from an obsessive, narcissistic and self centered person. Not at all attractive. The whole cast of the anime is a pathetic cartoon of an actual human psyche. Ruka is the worst character in the series by far, and she's a danger to herself and those around her. Her lack of awareness of how much of an eyesore she is is appalling. How she allows Kazuya to treat her like dirt raises tall red flags about her extremely low self esteem and probably indicative of horrible parental upbringing, her father specially must have been really good at denying her from developing any kind of self worth.

You're seeing this as a viewer pov instead of one specific character pov. Let me summarize everything-
Kazuya - Has feeling for Chizuru but know Chizuru is out of his league so he kept Ruka hanging.

Chizuru - Has feeling for Kazuya but doesn't show and she wants Kazuya to get a gf (Ruka)

Ruka- Knows Kazuya liked Chizuru but then Kazuya didn't rejected her so she is thinking it as a battle. And Ruka is technically gf, so obviously she will be angry if her bf comes and say "let me date another girl!" but Ruka still gave him permission. On the other hand Kazuya also almost confessed to Ruka that he wants to make it official.

And Ruka is black mailing? We all know what Kazuya and Chizuru doing is wrong. Ruka telling Kazuya's family that she is his gf isn't something unexpected from a gf. Remember Jelousy is part of being gf

Yup, add to that total lack of interest from Kazuya and the end product get's painful and annoying to watch. We all know who the main girl is and who will end with Kazuya, if the author wants to spicy with up with a love rival, the rival should at least have some compeling reason to pursue protogonist-kun. At least Chizuru attraction can be attributed to exposure/Stockholm syndrome/proper simping.

Chizuru's attraction is just a simple pity. Nothing more. It's pretty wild, that she even tolerates him, while any rational being would file for restraining order at this point.

Kazuya - I agree to an extent because he’s unable to shake her off and isn’t the type of person to reject female attention

Chizuru - I agree, but she doesn’t exactly realize it herself (and also because the mangaka is writing the story to make it that way cause realistically she wouldn’t)

Ruka - Ruka thinking it’s a battle agree (cause she’s the only one thinking it’s a battle). Still though, seeing that Kazuya is interested in Chizuru should be indicator to back off (which of of course she does not). Ruka technically being his gf, sure only because she one sidedly pushes this onto Kazuya. He takes it without fighting back and doesn’t set her straight continuously feeding into her delusions that they could be a item. Her thinking they’re in a relationship and being angry about Kazuya wanting to date another girl still goes to show how delusional she is. (especially since it’s not her place to feel that way when they’re not actually dating) Kazuya almost confessing (on whim) doesn’t change the fact he only likes Chizuru. And an almost confession is not a real confession. That’s like saying you’re almost done doing something, cause you’re not actually done doing it.

Ruka is blackmailing, saying what Kazuya and Chizuru are doing doesn’t change anything. Ruka blackmails Kazuya in hopes of getting into a relationship with him. Kazuya and Chizuru’s grandmothers’ think they’re dating, so knowing that they continue to have a fake relationship. Is right? Of course not. Comparing what Kazuya and Chizuru are doing to Ruka is silly because they are lying to keep their grandmothers happy (and trying to get out of it) while Ruka is acting upon her own selfish gains. This isn’t a competition of who’s more wrong, but the reason behind their actions. It’s not really fair to compare the two especially when Kazuya and Chizuru themselves want to tell their grandmothers they “broke up”

Putting it in their point of view is pointless since RAG isn’t a complex or a thought inducing show since their characteristics are blatantly shown. Thinking from her point of view wouldn’t change the single fact Ruka is toxic.

The other is just completely manipulative and only wanted him when she saw him with another person.

Ruka is nothing more than an unnecessary anti-climate girl, this is clear throughout the manga. Ruka should be one of the points for the MC to know what real "love" is, but the author threw it away...

To be frank, I think nearly every character in this anime is pretty annoying.
Kazuya needs to make it more clear on who he loves and put his foot down instead of being scum. He should also stop lying to his and Ichinose's grandmother.
Ichinose needs to stop enabling Kazuya to be with Ruka and also needs to admit her feelings for him. She should also stop lying to her grandmother, as well as Kazuya's grandmother.
Ruka needs to realize she is just a third wheel and a nuisance and is making things more complicated. Kazuya doesn't like you, he is just a horn dog, and that should be obvious by now. Give up.
Mami... to be frank, I don't know what is wrong with her, she just seems crazy.
Sumi... just stop, if we have any more love interests the ship is just going to sink faster. Run as far away as you can and don't look back. XD

Sumi is cute but that's it. She does not contribute to the story whatsoever.
