But that's what makes him endearing to me, he is like a tiny mutt on the street who won't stop barking and biting you. You kick him to shoo him away and at the same moment feel bad because of how pathetic it is, it's like kicking a puppy trope, except that puppy tries to bite you.
To be fair, I think this is a difference in perspectives. As a lupine with an ork and a minotaur in my party, beating everyone first and then asking questions is the common sense for my mc.

I'm still bitter I couldn't kick Komari's ass because of the stupid amulet. Given how they view anyone who is not a Kitsune, Nakano's aggression makes more sense than trying to talk.
But Tobs isn't trying to pull it here. Otherwise, he probably would've written a dozen of scenes where we almost die only for Nakano to appear and gracefully save us, while everyone talks how good his poetry is.
Happens to the best of us.
I like him not because he is an amazing character, but because in an ocean of mary sue and coldsteel OC's in this game, he at least feels sufficiently flawed to be interesting. Especially since he is supposed to be an opposite of Hitoshi.
Like, he is a whiny bitch, but at least you can imagine a person like that living irl, what can't be said about many other characters.
