TV tropes don't really mean anything since anyone can edit them, and people often give incorrect tropes. Quite a lot is opinion-based, too. Don't get me wrong--I can spend hours playing around on there because of all of the funny things people write, but it's not a legit resource when looking for evidence.

Mika only cares about and lives for his family. For the time being, his only family is Yu, so all of that concern is directed at Yu rather than distributed amongst Akane and the others as well. He certainly does not care about himself. In that sense, he really does only care about Yu, but it's not in a selfish way. Once his family grows, he will be less focused on Yu alone.

He has to keep warning and working to make Yu listen, but he refuses to kidnap or take Yu against his will. When they first meet, Mika drops Yu when he struggles and waits to patiently try and explain things until the situation becomes too dangerous. The second time, he concedes to finding Yu's so-called friends, even though he does not trust them and has every reason not to. He even starts taking Yu to them before he explains about the Seraph of the End, which is information he would die to let Yu know about. Even with all of this, he gets stabbed and nearly dies when Yu first goes into seraph mode and tries to kill Shinoa. He protects her, even when he sees her as the enemy, even when Yu curses him for being a vampire and tells him to get out of the way. He is very unselfish and protective of Yu, but he is very respectful to Yu and always listens to Yu's opinion without making him do anything against his will.

He has every reason to claim he is Yu's only family, considering how the humans and especially the JIDA act.

I will agree that he is possessive, though. He's not as possessive as the demons, but he has absolutely nothing to live for except family and devotes every ounce of his being to that.

You're saying you don't like Krul because she's dabbling in the Seraph of the End? Well, that eliminates quite a few characters.

I'm only asking because I like to discuss things and analyze characters and get into their heads. If you just don't like the characters, that's fine. You don't need a reason for that. There are plenty of characters I don't care for.
