It would be good considering Japan holds the highest demogrpahics for suicide and self-harm, so a mentally ill Cure would make a positive influence on the show imo. Seeing as they will probably go the idol route with the show, it would make sense for a character with fame to also have some sort of mental illness as even famous people suffer from them. Good or bad. Remember, mental illness DOES NOT EQUAL evil. Stop perpetuating such a harmful narrative. I agree. People are always making it sound as if having a kind of mental illness is a bad thing. But with that said, I sadly doubt that Toei is going to make a cure with a mental illness. I feel like even though they dealt with more serious topics in Hugtto, they just aren't quite ready to deal with topics like those, especially in a main protagonist in the series. There is a slight chance a side character might have a illness, but other than that it most likely will not happen.
