I don't even remember if he had a reason for it, or if he was just mad at her for existing.
If I remember his obsessive behaviour correctly her existing was a totally valid reason.
I really think though that you can re-visit Kizuna without fear. The first volumes are a bit wonky, so those ones can be skipped. I think the only really fucked up thing was the rape scene which is just WTH Kodaka, why did you think that is a good way to introduce a character that we are supposed to like?!
She took a big break between I think vol. 3 and 4 to work on Kusatta and it shows in the art style and the story, because then we get our first major arc with Yakuzas and everything.
I don't know how far you've read, if you remember reading it as a teenager, but you know she finished, right? And it's a totally cute way to end it, absolutely worth it (and especially if you like Kai and Masa the last volumes are a must read!)
