Response to Akinari’s “Bewitched”

Why do you think Toyo-o continues to be involved with Manago even after he suspects that she is a demon of some sort?

Toyo-o Continues to be involved with Manago despite suspecting that she is a demon of some sort for various reasons. The first reason is that Toyo-o appreciates the fact that Manago likes him and sees him as a great man. Many people see Toyo-o as a useless person, takes as an example his father who sees him as a family disappointment and his brother who gives up on him contributing to society. Due to the despiteful perception that society gives him, it is evident that Toyo-o is a man desperated for love and attention and he is ready to welcome any love and attention from anyone regardless of whether the person that love his is a demon.
