Anyone else thinks lovey-dovey teenage romance series like these are basically humiliation rituals for the reader/viewer that never got to experience teenage love, which is basically 90% of anime otaku? You can actually feel the smugness oozing from each chapter you read and each episode you watch, mocking you for missing out on such experience.
even the manga covers mock you. just look at them laughing at you
>>286707805no, because you are not the target audience (women viewers)your type of romance is in isekai right now
No, you're just a miserable cunt
What is it called when someone thinks everything is a personal attack on them
>>286708064being a critical thinker?
>>286708064conservative
>>286707805aren't these made for women? I don't think male otakus are the main audience
>>286708103lols, the people whining about anime like this are dudes trying to bruteforce themselves into the viewership
>>286708103the first 2 are clearly for men, the male leads in those are wet blankets so men can self insert better. the last one might be for women, the heroine basically fixes and grooms him to become a better boyfriend which is a female fantasy
Lighten up, man. School is shit for everyone, a not-shit school life is a fantasy for all. It doesn't represent what they had in real life.
>>286708181School was great for me. I just missed the teenage romance experience
>>286707805No
>>286708167i haven't seen the middle but the first is VERY clearly not made for men, and the male love interest is not a self-insert just because he has black hair and glassesthere is way too much female monologuing and insecurity sharing for it to be relatable for men
>>286708274
>>286708103>>286708167>>286708320if you watch these types of romcoms as a male you are either a teenager(which would make sense) or extremely effeminate
>>286708064Being "froward."
>>286708320nah. the side relationship with the school bicycle and the brown hair guy who still chooses to be with her despite her hideous disgusting used goods past is for women, but the main couple is made for the moids. I just can't see any girl liking the male lead. the chipper, virgin gyaru going for the stoic, emotionally stunted boy is definitelly not a female fantasy
>>286708320Oh, it was definitely targeted at men, but she wasn't careful enough and accidentally let her things slip.
>>286708064a woman
>>286707805No, not really.
>>286708434>I just can't see any girl liking the male leadwhy not? this stable and sensible type of man balances out the wild manic pixie girl fMC just like, say, noa-senpaihell, there's even a male lead this season where he's invisible and reduced to the concept of a man while the fMC does her thing
Goslingfags are so obnoxious.
>>286707805School teen romance played straight is the blandest genre known to man
Yeah, and all the fantasy and mahou series are humiliation rituals for everyone who never got to experience fighting dragons and saving the world
You shouldn't apply japanese romcom logic to real life especially when your dating culture is different. These are fiction. So no matter what type you watch it won't help you get a girlfriend.
>>286708696I think the difference is that dragons don't exist but teenage romance does
>>286707805>never got to experience teenage loveDoes it count as teenage love if between the two of us only one is of teen age and the other is 30+?
>>286708387I read these types of romcoms, hasn't been a teenager for for over a decade now, and am a bald muscular manly man
>>286707805Nope.Look at tanicuck. He is not interested in his relationship with gyaru. Same shit would be with y'll
>>286707805no, you are just bitterstop being jealous of others
>>286709641This
I think there's an untapped market in the "MC reconnects with classmates years later and his crush is still cute despite being a hag now" trope. This usually happens during extra chapters of the last volume in school romance series. But it's rarely the premise.
It's funny how the premise started off interesting with them getting hooked at first but then the author began spewing her pathetic worldview one that even normal guys would find skeptical.
>>286707805Or you could not self-insert, get your shit together and just watch/read the material without trying to project it on yourself?
>>286707996>no, because you are not the target audience (women viewers)2 of those are literally shounen manga. One was in Jump+ itself
>>286707805Not really. I just read it and think it's cute.
>>286708064InsecurityOr terminally online depending on context
Interesting picrel choice. It's pretty obvious you're a attention seeking baiting faggot. Might aswell be a tranny.
>>286707805No.I don't think you're wrong for being bitter and pissed off, but you're a delusional faggot for thinking it's on purpose.My dad used to beat the shit out of my when I was a kid, and now I hate him. So, when I see other people with good it makes me envious and bitter. That said, it's not the worlds fault that aspect of my life was shit.Get over yourself. Not everything revolves around YOU and how YOU feel. It's a choice to dwell on your insecurity and hatred.

The idea that a fictional character having anything you can’t have is a humiliation ritual is one of the most self-centered, conceited, entitled, arrogant, and effeminate things I’ve ever heard. No doubt you gleefully indulge in schadenfreude when the roles are reversed.You need to have your T level checked. You are probably missing out on a lot in life and need to medicated.
>>286709741thats a terrible idea. I would never date any girl from high school. if I didn't get to hit prime teen pussy, then you don't get this prime adult dick
>>286707805>humiliation ritualsDunno, for me it is the oppositeSome of those shows are genuinely healing my soulReal life is already full of pretty bad shit, so let me enjoy cute friendship and romance in peace
>>286707805>>286707936How old are you OP?Teen love may not be off the table yet.
>>286713156anons don't know this, but they can heal their trauma by thinking about the past and considering what you should have done insteadit tricks the brain into thinking you actually did the right thing in the past
>>286710605She just doesn't understand pureness
>>286713188age gap teen romance is never off the table
>>286707805I never felt personally attacked by this kind of mangasure I felt jealously back when I was much younger, but that disappeared once I became a grown-ass mannowadays I can read this stuff and not only feel fine but also actively root for the happiness of the main couple
>>286707805Skill issue.t. 29 years old virgin
>>286707805All romance is a humiliation ritual. If you're not a loser and you're so inclined you just do that shit irl instead of sitting in the cuck chair living vicariously through fictional characters.
>>286713156Yeah Polar Opposites feels like it was intentionally made to be cute and endearing but not cause jealousy, just makes me think "good for them"
>>286707805I’m glad Japan keeps pumping out good rom coms it’s something I missed about 2000s American movies
>>286707805I'm not so self-obsessed as to be constantly thinking about myself when reading stories about other people and comparing myself to every character
>>286708064A schizophrenicor more scientifically a "Persecution Complex"
>>286708064Projecting
>>286708434People here read manga that is actually for women, right? Because stoic but somewhat dorky love interests show up often, as much as wanko types, princely types, and roguish types
>>286713712Me too
OP is completely right. I also get pissed off at manga with casual sex
>>286714685the op image has an example of a stoic male character written for men and a stoic male character written for women. polar opposites mc isn't particularly good looking, he barely changes, at most he becomes less embarrased when complimenting or telling the gyaru he loves her. horimiya mc was a diamond in the rough and is genuely good looking (confirmedd by actual characters int he manga) once he starts going out with the girl and taking care of himself. he became more assertive and social. in the final chapters of polar oposites mc keeps his internal struggles to himself until the girl blatantly tells him that she's there to support him, the nurturing girlfriend is something men fantasize about not women. on the othe other hand horimiya gets basically fixed by the female lead, a very common trope women like.
>>286715664Well that's normal. Casual sex is a sin after all
>>286707805bruh...it says 'shonen' there. you're supposed to watch it when you're still kinda young enough to have hopes and dreams to develop NOSTALGIA and then at least self-insert/imagine or something.
>>286713245purest form of love
