Worst episode ever possibly in the history of television

The writers could have come out and told me that they hated the Cherry Manga sooo much that they ended up writing this episode and I would 100% believe them. What a gross mischaracterization of Karan's character. Of Achi. Of what their relationship is about. I'm always talking based on the original manga because I believe this version should be loyal to the messages of the OG. Or at least not completely contradict them like they did with this episode. Cherry Magic is a love story that condemns self sacrificial behavior in the name of love, whenever a character (namely, Kurosawa) does something to put himself in pain in order "to protect" the protagonist, the narrative always calls out the toxic behavior. This version however glorifies Karan's sacrifice for the relationship and Achi is seemingly not only almost completely cool with it but he also does nothing to stop it or to advice Karan against it. Seriously, this plot point is so out of character that I genuinely believe the writers did not open a single page of the manga beyond Volume 1. Hate this from the bottom of my hear, wish the show was cancelled but like all parasites, it was able to leech itself on the IP and bring out the most annoying of illiterate fans.
