The fucking scumbag older brother is either going to try steal his love interest or by accident(maybe when he talks to her privately to ask her take care of his bro) create rumours where the entire school thinks he confessed and they are dating in secret.I don’t think I have ever seen a brother in in these type of romcoms who wasn’t a problem. I don’t see her actually using him to get to his popular older brother like all the other girls, but would be an amazing twist if she did.
>>282328257For sure a misunderstanding where something happens with the classic valentines chocolate mixup and the MC thinks she is using him to get to his brother, where the MC thinks his brother asked her out behind his back and once again beat him, or the whole thing has been a rosed tinted version through the MCs eyes and she was just being nice and trying to get to his brother like all the others.
the older brother seems like a good guy though
>>282328723Nah, he rubs me the wrong way.I get he wants to be a role model but he also basically makes sure that his little brother always fails and uses him as a filter for girls he doesn’t want.I can see his hyper competitive nature getting the best of him and trying to go after the FMC, since he doesn’t want to lose there either.
>>282328723It was weird how the manga tries to depict his brother as endearing by saying that he was doing it to not disappoint the MC, had he been oblivious to his brother’s shortcomings it could have been excused since his intentions weren’t malicious, however here it was shown that he went out of his way to fuck him over.He just comes off like an asshole.
>>282329092>however here it was shown that he went out of his way to fuck him over.By winning a race?
>>282329489In the manga it was basically shown that throughout all of the MC’s life his brother basically shows him off at every opportunity. He is a douche.
>>282328257Your mind has been to poisoned by NTR. This doesn't seem like that kind of manga.
>>282330506Nah, it seems exactly like that manga. It's not an NTR trope, it's a romance manga trope. Miscommunication is basically the key to building drama and joyful reunion and meaningful development in the relationships. It's on chapter 11 and the girl is already peeking her head under his towel and nearly kissing him, the manga knows they're fucked if the entire title conflict isn't bridged somehow. So we'll probably enter an arc where the little brother finally feels at ease and crushing on the girl back but she'll fuck up and get too familiar with the older brother and it'll activate the little brother's trauma and the older brother won't be able to properly convince him it was a misunderstanding. This is literally textbook romance manga
>>282330780ThisI don’t see how they can keep the story going without typical romcom “misunderstandings” at this point, since they are both pretty much already about to start dating.These type of stories can be milked by either having development move at a glacial pace or bullshit misunderstandings. They could just have them date, but seems unlikely.
>>282330506The title of the manga is referencing how girls use him up get close to his popular brother, it wouldn’t make much sense nor satisfying nor cathartic if the brother is not involved in him getting the girl at the end, so he has to play some sort of antagonist role.He is other goes full heel and actually tries to compete with him for the love interest or is just a big misunderstanding, but either way he has to play a role in their relationship and the MC getting over his trauma.
>>282330780>and the older brother won't be able to properly convince him it was a misunderstandingHe's going to actively try to get closer to her, because he's "not going to lose" to his little brother.
>>282331660>The title of the manga is referencing how girls use him up get close to his popular brotherNo, it's referencing how he's suspecting the FMC to be after his brother as well.
>>282331800I also sort of think that's going to happen because I think the author is going to want to have a twist that the good natured brother actually can't deal with losing. But so many people bitched about that idea on reddit because they're soft little babies who can't imagine seeing the brother being a bad guy. I don't trust his personality at all and the fact that he had a whole monologue about how he's scared of losing to the younger brother seemed weird as fuck
>>282331881Yeah and if the writer has any talent at all they'll fucking use that very idea as a material for an entire arc forcing the mc to address and move past his insecurity. You fucking brainlet
>>282331800Mostly likely, he competes with him in everything and refuses to let him win, he will probably try the same here and actually catch feelings.
>>282331800>I don't want to lose to you so I can be a big brother you can be proud of!!! What kind of dickhead logic is that
>>282331895>many people bitched about that idea on reddit because they're soft little babies who can't imagine seeing the brother being a bad guyUh? Isn’t that the norm is manga, siblings are either total bastards or into incest, there isn’t just normal siblings. Also, author won’t give a fuck what leddit thinks.
>>282331895Yeah, I never had a brother if I had someone throughout my life always wanting to get one over me and see me lose, I would see him in a bad light.He seems like he is compensating for something, or almost like a Yandere type.
>>282331939>You fucking brainletWell, that came out of nowhere.
>>282332095Yeah, I thought for sure the manga will lean into the idea of the brother basically being the main antagonist or some sort of mcguffing who is just there for motivation.Seeing the author actually tying to make the brother into a charismatic character is weird, doesn’t really work when he has basically purposefully made the MC feel inferior all of his life.
>>282332217As a big brother who also has a bigger brother I can confirm that this is a pretty weird relationship. Brothers are supposed to support each other and win together. He's probably a narcissist.
Brother will cuck him for sure
>>282328257Anon if this was going to be that predictable, she would've held up the wrong side of the fan and cause a misunderstanding that the brother will then predictably take advantage of. It's not that type of manga, it keeps dodging the usual cliches for a reason.
What is this manga even about?
>>282336512It's on chapter 11. It's just barely established the boy liking the girl. You brainlet
Imagine if it turns out that she was after the brother after all…
>>282338145Yes and that anon is suggesting that your idea of the brother coming between them and causing a misunderstanding is a pretty basic bread and butter trope/cliche, you're not exactly the first person to suggest this and other ideas have already been suggested elsewhere, it would be alot more interesting if it didn't go in that direction.
>>282336923MC used by women as a stepping stone to get into his brother's pants.And this new girl is using a new strategy to do that
>>282341901she's obviously not.
>>282329546No, the brother is the real heroine. All these girls throwing themselves at him and the one he actually wants to like him is his baby brother.
