In the internet there seems to be some sort of unanimity that Kacchan is an unlikable prick and I simply don't get it. I understand that he was made to be unliked but when I read the manga I just couldn't help but ignore him and expect his inevitable development. I feel most of his displays to be more comedic or pitiable than actually hateable. This isn't even a defense, to me he is more ineffective than anything, though I like what the author does with him in later arcs.
