Does this get any better after episode three, or am I just wasting my time? I'm about ready to drop this.

So far, the writing in this show has been extremely sloppy. To start with, the character dynamic completely flips in the first two episodes. It starts out with the main character being the reluctant straight man, harassed by an eccentric girl who wants to stab him, to him being the one chasing an emo girl, who just wants to be left alone to atone for her sins. You just establish one type of interaction and change it in the course of an episode. The show even acknowledges this point, but acknowledging it doesn't make it any better. Then there's female lead, who literally stabs the protagonist in the first scene of the series, but is portrayed as being afraid to kill anything there after. I mean, what? You can't try to paint her as this damaged, timid warrior, when she was stab-happy from the moment we saw her. But this scene may be the last straw. He goes all the way to her apartment to stop her from basically committing suicide by yomu, then takes her at her word when she says "don't follow me" and decides to go home and cook eggs? What the fuck is the point of this scene? I know he's just going to end up going after her anyway. Why the fuck did we need a scene of him at home as if this is some sort of inner struggle for him? It's not believable or compelling.
