Why is everyone saying Takeshi is "weak" or that he doesn't have any pride?
First off, if you read chapter one, he actually DID resist the situation... then he met Otose.
No seriously, I don't think Takeshi is particularly weak, rather EVERY SINGLE PERSON around him is COMPLETLY insane. Think about it. I would say the person with the most sanity around him is Hikari.
you know, the same Hikari that put a cigarette out on Takeshi's forehead while he slept
Yes, Hikari, the person who sent goons to forcefully abduct a high school student so that he can keep a promise he may or may not have made to her as a CHILD, is the sanest person around him. Poor guy never had a chance or a choice from the start.
Like I said before though, Takeshi has resisted and probably would resist Hikari more if he didn't have to worry about Otose. Would YOU resist if you had a psychopathic maid who's in the background just BEGGING you to give her an excuse to cut off your balls? I think the one thing Takeshi understands is that Otose ain't screwing around, which in turn gives Hikari the power to punish as needed (or as it's not needed but done anyway).
Anyway, I'm not really anticipating any kind of ground-breaking characters or riveting story here. I just want something that will make me laugh, and based on the over-the-top craziness the author has provided me with so far, this title is doing it's job.
(I'd just like to point out to Jokagetto9 that while Akari is indeed cute and illegal, [almost] EVERYONE still attending high school is cute and illegal. In fact, if Takeshi decided to bone Akari right now, it WOULDN'T be illegal... [although I do agree Akari is a bit overused...])

No, actually that was, in all likelihood, planned from the start. Take a look at my spoiler if you doubt my reasoning.
Had a major epiphany when I saw Ayako reading "Misery" in chapter three...
