Kokoro doesn’t deserve to be hated and it is time for haters to move on - it’s been a year since the anime ended.

Firstly, Kokoro was never a couple with futoshi and she only agreed to the promise with him because she was afraid of causing a rift. To her, he was a friend and she didn’t want to hurt him. But a promise doesn’t make her a troll as haters call her.

Secondly, she broke the promise out of concern for Mitsuru because of his weak health and unstable mentality; she wanted to help him, even though she also had feelings for him.

The manga made the partner shuffle far less dramatic and Kokoro/Mitsuru/Futoshi handles it maturely, as Futoshi suggested it despite his feelings for Kokoro because he noticed her feelings for Mitsuru.
