>Shinba has no talent, no job, no money...he's a complete loser. However, he has a girlfriend, Hizumi who is beautiful, smart, good at her work. He has no idea why she says she likes him. He's almost scared, but loves Hizumi so much...he asks Hizumi, "Why do you want to date with someone like me?" This is the worst offender I've come across, it barely edges out that new trash dandadan
>>281965102Most people see themselves as a league far below their dream girl. And they are.
they are easier to develop and manipulate narratively, they help stretch out the story, they are easy to feel for. worst thing you could do while writing fiction is be pretentious, and they help you not do thati will be checking this work out
>>281965102>"Why do you want to date with someone like me?"To be fair, that's the question I kept asking in my head when I had a gf quite a ways above my league. So it's not unrealistic, but the bigger question is if it's actually written convincingly in an interesting/alluring way.
>>281965219>a rich attractive hoe will totally fall for a jobless ugly loser because plotStories are supposed to be immersive>had a gf quite a ways above my league. Men tend to overrate women
>>281965293>a rich attractive hoe will totally fall for a jobless ugly loser because plotIn this case it's somewhat better than most other manga. The girl has issues.
please... take my bait...don't just ignore it...
>>281965102The joke here is that the gf is a sadist with abandonment issues and the girls surrounding him are literal freaks (a childhood enslaver and actress who can't hide her pathetism and a brocon older sister who's a oneshota manga artist who can't differentiate reality from fiction).Author's inspiration for this was... fucking Boy's Abyss, even made Ryou draw a commemorative illust for the 2nd vol.
>>281965102Read it just yesterday, honestly, it sometimes feels like a what if Kazuya got dumped by Chizuru and instead goes and dates Makima or Nagi Aoe... and it finally works for him.He even has those sudden pretentious displays of courage Kazuya had that can't be held for a longer time because he's an innate loser (and to shove down in our throats he's an absolute lame person, he's a westoid superhero otaku, obsessed with an Ironman knockoff. The manga has extremely obvious MCU references).
>>281965102The kind of men who read stuff like this allow their inferiority complexes to make them feel threatened when seeing successful male characters. If you can recognize that this is a problem, you should be grateful.
>>281965816Ironically this manga shoves in our faces that the loser MC has more balls about the relationship and devotion to his gf than normal couples and stands out . The FeMC literally being a more sadistic Nagi knockoff with massive abandonment issues.The chapter where it's explained how they met at that bankrupt B-movies theater already lays out about this relationship being toxicly wholesome because the girl has issues
>>281966016>The FeMC literally being a more sadistic Nagi knockoff with massive abandonment issues doesn't make things better.Ftfy. Also forgot picrel to prove my point.Funny enough this isn't an "i can fix him/her" story because the MC won't stop being a loser, and the FeMC won't stop being a sharptongued sadist who fears MC will leave her if he gathers hks shit together, but about sharing burdens and accepting the other as how they are. Basically "life sucks dick, but can be more bearable when sharing your burden with other people".
>>281965702Huh. Might give this a shot.>Author's inspiration for this was... fucking Boy's Abyss, even made Ryou draw a commemorative illust for the 2nd vol.Well now I'm even more interested. Unf.
>>281965769>what if Kazuya got dumped by Chizuru and instead goes and dates Makima or Nagi AoeThis description alone has sold me on this. Thanks anon.
>>281965102>>281965702huhi thought it was only a twitter manga, didnt expect a serialization
>>281968095>didnt expect a serializationRAWs are also free to read on the kadokawa comicwalker site.
>>281965816On the other hand there are people that can't parse the idea that a loser character can get his shit together in some fashion, and audiences find that appealing enough to stick around.
>>281968435>there are people that can't parse the idea that a loser character can get his shit together in some fashionIronically, that's FeMC's worst fear in this story: the fact Shinba can abandon her once he gets his shit together, and that's why she unconsciously wants him to keep being pathetic in almost everything, except professing his loveIt's implied he's not her 1st love (but at least it's reciprocal bc FeMC wasn't MC's 1st love anyway).
>>281965102idk
>>281965102slf insert
>>281971697This goes beyond mere self insertion bc the FeMC is traumatised af too and has a heavy reason to date a loser.
