Kokuhakus or “love confessions” don’t bring Gohan the happiest memories. He had confessed his feelings once to his first love only to end up cruelly heartbroken. Almost two years later, he realizes he is still in denial and decides that over-saturation is the best recourse: Receive kokuhakus. Reject kokuhakus. Repeat until heart goes numb. It’s a brilliant plan. He’s very optimistic about it. (Sometimes, optimism—no matter how nutty—can go a long, long way.)
