You seriously haven't read enough 'edgy' shoujo stuff. Otherwise perfect, borderline sociopathic male leads are par for the course. There just aren't many of them that get animated.

Haru isn't really sociopathic. I assume you're talking about the "demon king" archetype male shoujo lead (perfect seeming guy who actually is a sadist).
Don't get me wrong, Haru still follows an archetype that appears in shoujo manga (ditzy, misunderstood/weird genius male lead), but that archetype usually is usually paired up against a very different type of female lead.
Ah, also;
100 bucks says the anime ends on chapter 24. ;)

I used borderline sociopath because I'm not sure of the exact term. He very clearly falls into at least one category of antisocial personality disorder. I'm just incredibly annoyed by the 'inexplicably, nearly perfect girl/boy who just needs someone level headed with a leash' type shows at both ends of the spectrum.

characters development and only 2 episodes in!? this is worth my time.
GoGeTa006:
wow, 2 episodes in and it already receives its seal of approval!
I am Gogeta, and I approve of this anime

I had a few good lols from the new episode. And it is bugging me that I can't remember where I heard "No Future" before in an anime. All I remember is this weird voice says it, and I think he then hits some other guy. Here it was something I read, not heard, but the placement was priceless!
This show is a conundrum, two steps forward, one step back. But it seems plausible for teenagers to me.
The dude is sociopathic, in that he has no clue what he says or does, how it makes others feel. From the few psychology classes I took, I'd guess he is stuck emotionally somewhere around age 6. But he is growing up fast, eh? I'd say it's not a matter that he doesn't care, he cares for the rooster. But he doesn't know what people are like, so he doesn't know how to care for people. And I am guessing no one has cared for him, as he is amazed by fried rice.
