yeah. he is.
I can even understand George (as a man to a man) and I can sympathize with him (because he is in deep shit) - he did a bad thing towards MC's father, but he did it for the sake of the woman he madly loved (as they say, all is fair in love and war - no offense, brother, but you set yourself up!).
and at the same time, George, when he is in a cage, does not try to whine and suck up to his jailer Rikune, but on the contrary, he is going to go on a hunger strike - he has balls, I can't help but respect that.
Yes, George is a scoundrel, but he is a man, unlike Kenichi.
however, don't get me wrong - you have to pay for everything in this world. and George must pay "for all the good", because people suffered, and some lost their health (MC's dad) - and this is not a joke.
