>>291567523It's written by an immature person about what they think maturity means. He only takes inspiration from the manga he has read, so it contains all the tropes you see in other 'romcom' manga: men acting as if women are full of deadly viruses and unable to be close to a woman without spilling their spaghetti, stuttering like an idiot and overreacting to everything. They take a minute or two to answer a simple, mundane question, like a Parkinson's patient. They say a lot of 'ah', 'eto' and 'ano' in a sentence before they can barely speak. Basically, he's a literal retard and a socially dysfunctional nu-male. The quality of the artwork, the sole reason you even read this manga, deteriorated with each new chapter too
>>291567523> i don't get itThat's because you're an incel, do you get it now?
>>291567523
>>291567718>take a minute or two to answer a simple, mundane question, like a Parkinson's patientGod this drives me up a wall. Someone will offer a simple hand shake and the recipient will stand their for like 15 seconds before he can even think about returning the gesture.
>>291567523It's just male pandering, anon; don't think too hard about it.
>>291568078It's littlebitchcore is what it is
>>291568078
>>291567944Don't forget about all the "uh" and "ah", and sweating and blushing and whatnots before they can muster a mumbled answer

>>291568078>Rowdy Teenager can only think of MUH DIKwow shocking
>>291568078>dbzretard>talks in ebonicsWho saw that coming?
it's also not like yamada has any prospects either, she has been working at the convenience store for like 10 years, and isn't she kind of plain in-universe anyway?
>>291568263There's no such thing as a woman without prospects unless she is truly malformed.
>>291568153>>291568173>>291568226>>291568115
>>291568172Just keep consuming your Twitter romcom manga, there's no need to do mental gymnastics to justify your hobby. Romcom MCs are massive faggots, we all know that. No matter what the setting, these stories were written by faggots for other beta males with no bitches to read. That's the undeniable truth.
>>291567523>Mid 40s>Tall, big hands, chiseled face>Gainfully employed for 20 years with simple lifestyle, probably has saved a ton of money>Kind and thoughtful >Not alcoholic, gambler, creep That's plenty. Not all girls will go for it but you better believe that there are plenty of no-hoper, non-college educated dead-end job 24-year old women who will, especially in Japan
>>291568406and then immediately resent him and badmouth him and make his life difficult for not giving her the princess lifestyle she was promised as a child
>>291568406>will die in 10 years from lung cancerWHAT A CATCH
Take the train from Shinjuku to Saitama, Chiba, Hachioji, some godforsaken end of the line town and visit the supermarket at midnight. I bet you 10 to 1 you will find Tayama/Yamada lookalikes with no prospects either romantically or professionally that would jump on a guy like that. It's bleak out there in Chiba
>>291568497And yet, social media will have inflated her ego to such a level she will demand an idol trainee sweep her off her feet and pay for dates at Hotels.
>>291568139>all the "uh" and "ah", and sweating and blushing and whatnotsI look like this and say this
>>291568078I don't come to /a/ to read nigtwitter
>>291567523It follows the same formula as Nagatoro or Takagi-san, but in this case, there is no logical reason for the girl to be interested in a nervous, 40yo unc.
What if they pull a curve ball and pair him with the other 40 year old manager?
>>291568824Bad end
>>291568824The author would be so based for this. Manager-san is the best girl.
>>291567523>mature>tall>stable employmentIt's really that simple.
He's also a non-virgin, he doesn't deserve an unblemished girl like yamada
>>291569226In Japan it's normal to lose your virginity to your mother or an older sister or cousin and to go to soaplands with your boss so it's expected to have more experience as a man.
>>291568078they hated him because he spoke the truth
>>291568078>based negro making f/a/ggots seetheyou all are watching another dude be happy.
>>291568078performative niggerism
>>291568440did you miss the>has probably saved a lot of moneypart?>>291568287how often do low status menial laborer women actually pull high status male mates? most of them end up either with someone of similar status or a couple of kids with no father around
>>291569226>unblemished girl like yamadaisn't the current arc literally her having a massive crashout about her ex showing up to work?
Please do not feed the /r9k/cels. He's obviously not the cream of the crop, but he's decent looking and has steady employment, there's a market for that. Only truly disappointing thing is him acting like a touch-phobic 14 year old little boy when he's pushing 50.
>>291568497Saitama is slut central after all.
>>291569226I wouldn't be surprised if there's a reveal at some point that they've only dated for a week or two and never even kissed. Would make his behavior perfectly normal.
>>291570242Being a scared loser with incel tendencies never truly goes away. I lived with a girl for 5 years, then after she left I reverted back into being scared of girls after a few years. If i was in MCs position i'd totally be too bashful to even try touching her.
>manga gets anime adaptation>threads go to shit because of seajeet trashGrim.
>>291567523>i don't get itYou don't have to. Point is there are women that don't care about what you care. Otherwise we would start killing younger guys just like animals do.
>>291572947I dunno bud, you may be selling yourself short. All it took was one girl for me (that I never even slept with) to stop being scared of them. Granted, I'm still left with a general loathing for most women, but that won't go away any time soon because I've found I simply do not have the patience to deal with a grown child that's supposed to be an adult woman and I'd rather just be alone.
>>291567718it's clearly written by a woman
>>291573055If it was written by a woman, the guy would act more like a father figure and there would be more sexual tension.
>>291573076>height difference>specific scenes highlighting big male hands>every male acting feminine >mannish girl boss (i like her character though)>excessive ear piercings on women>males struggling to have normal conversations together>extra-feminine younger guy (who is also tall)there's just too many signs
>>291573055>>291573076Written by [gender] =/= aimed at [gender] you absolute retards.
>>291573115>males struggling to have normal conversations togetherThat's truly the smoking gun, even moreso than the yaoi hands. I forgive them, though, most male authors have no idea how to write women interacting with other women either.
>>291573140>most male authors have no idea how to write women interacting with other womenthis is true, men don't understand the precarious female nature and its subsequent """friendships""", while women just don't understand masculinity in general.
>>291573115>>males struggling to have normal conversations togetherBy that logic majority of 4chan is written by a woman
>>291573358I'll have you know I do not struggle and my retardation comes naturally.
>>291568440Asians are more resistant to lung cancer. I'm not making this up.
Is this really how long /a/ has sunk while i was away for a bit?
>>291573115>every male acting feminineThis isn't a tell and hasn't been for years, loads of male written male aimed manga has the males acting feminine. Females writing ikemen and bishounen also typically make them feminine but in a different way, and they are often socially/romantically aggressive which is the one trait women generally can't do without in a man.
>>291573140The "sorry manga" being a notable recent example.
>>291573674Unless you're saying that after being away for 10+ years you're a newfag.
Why is literally all anime now foidslop?
>>291567523He's fun to tease, but he doesn't mind enduring mild embarrassment to spend time with her. It's something she doesn't get to experience under her cashier persona.
She's a two-faced duplicitous hypocrite, but I like her.
>>291567523Age =/= maturity
>>291570208Nothing is confirmed yet, but it looks like he was just a bad boss or something
>>291567523fatherless behavoir
>>291571929i think it's canon he's a former sex-haver
>>291577129Does it really count if he wasn't wearing pants in that relationship?
>>291570208Seems much more like they worked together and something happened that destroyed his spirit and she was part of it
Why is she so fat?
>>291573055so an immature person
>>291578645Her cigarettes are laced with lard.
>>291572947Why would a man ever be scared of a woman? Do you know how fragile they are? You could break their necks while suffering from a fever and having explosive diarrhoea. You can hate or love them, but why be scared of an inferior being?
>>291579102Most young men never threw a punch in their lives. They have no idea about their own strength.
>>291567718You are all wrong, this is just an a big campaign ad to make zoomers support the tobaco industryI read like 10 chaps and all I can remember is that smoking is le cool. Goes to show how profound the story and characters are
>>291577281>having sex doesnt have as having sex because of reasons ok?
>>291575697>t. sasaki
>>291568287Japan isn't the US, anon. Men there aren't forced to settle for less because of fucked up gender dynamics like they are here.
>>291579102>>291579401Bait posts or are you two just retards
>>291568406>That's plenty.That's fucking nothing. IRL women want a man who's funny, knows how to create emotions that make her wet, knows lots of cool dating spots and likes to travel (ideally has enough moolah to drop everything and hop on a plane with her right fucking now).
>>291580659Nuclear level flustering incoming
>>291581133And is also a dark triad vampire that will choke her, beat her, and make her feel like a weak little girl again
Lots of anons listing tall and big hands like that would matter much. They're nice to have but completely worthless if the guy is an underachiever without any ambitions. The highlight of Sasaki's day is smoking behind a convenience store, how much more pathetic can he get? Maybe if Yamada was also in her 40s and her looks were long gone but she's still in her prime, she can do better than Sasaki.
>>291581276It's 2026 nobody is falling for your cope anymore
>>291572947>I lived with a girlyou have never been an incel in your life, stfu you fucking poser. why do normalfags insist on pretending to be like us? you have no fucking clue what being an incel even entails. you imagine your own minor, self-inflicted setbacks are even remotely comparable to a lifetime of complete and utter rejection and disrespect for reasons entirely beyond your control.
>>291581416it doesn't matter anymore anon
>>291573401I believe certain ethnicities can be more or less susceptible to certain diseases but lung cancer in non-smoking Asian American women is on the rise. No conclusive reasons why but one theory is fumes from gas stoves cooking at a high temperature in a poorly ventilated kitchen. Seems like this lifestyle overlaps with Asians in their native countries but I'm sure there's a lot of other factors at play
What a dogshit thread.Anyway, i just caught up with the manga.That was one spectacular multi chapter woman moment at the end therel

>>291584096The only person she's lying to at this point is herself
Can someone please nuke /r9k/ just like they did with /qa/?
>>291585266And make another sharty? Fuck no, better they're contained
>>291584993So is the guy given he’s a normalfag
>>291582345The dump thread was fucking hilarious because OP stopped right at Sasaki's ENTER moment, got everyone hyped, then later said "oops, forgot about the rest" and posted that trainwreck of an ending.
Do 40 years old guys looks so "old" to early 20's girls? I'm 28 and 40 yo women looks hot to me still
>>291585756Depends on your tastes and their genetics and upkeep.
>>291567718>They say a lot of 'ah', 'eto' and 'ano' in a sentence before they can barely speak. Basically, he's a literal retard and a socially dysfunctional nu-male.So... a Japanese salaryman?
>>291582887Genuinely, the type of girls anons probably date are, the best I can describe it, are the Emiru/livestreamer types. No way anyone here could ever pull a Tayama/Yamada
>>291586103That's a very generous estimate of what an /a/utist can land. Or is it going off shared interests alone?
>>291586817Shared interests of course. Also, I was thinking of Emiru without makeup, and besides her physical features being somewhat fair she's a total goblin personality (and hygiene wise), perfect for /a/nons. Anyways, that's enough about 3DPD.
>>291567718He's just Japanese
>>291581276>underachiever>ambitionsNone of this matters if the guy is young, 6"3' with the face of a male supermodel. For better or worse social media has pretty much exposed the truth of what men and women look for in each other and it is still all primal lizard brain stuff despite all the preaching that looks aren't everything. The achievements and all that secondary shit are copes to compensate for the missing superior genetics that naturalborns don't need.
>>291585756>I'm 28 and 40 yo women looks hot to methats because you were molested at young age
>>291587691>None of this matters if the guy is young, 6"3' with the face of a male supermodel.sasaki has none of these, though?
>>291586103If they're white, maybe
>>291577281moving the cope post
>>291580795you're a 2cm dicklet retard for being scared of even talking to women, spineless faggot
if a girl is above 20, she's not a girl anymore but a worthless npc, a non-human so to speak
>>291567718>He only takes inspiration from the manga he has read, so it contains all the tropes you see in other 'romcom' mangathis is a problem with manga and light novels in general. you have a story about people and interpersonal relationships written by an otaku who has barely interacted with real people and all their """""experience""""" is from other stories written by otaku. and then this compounds over several iterations, like multiple generations of inbreeding, to the point where there are constantly these stories full of characters who have these personalities and mannerisms utterly divorced from how real people behave, and not even in an endearing or appealing way, it's just become some sort of weird expectation that that's how they're supposed to act even though no one actually acts that way.
>>291573115Women do not cherish the types of ordinary moments that are portrayed in this series. Women are only interested in being swept off their feet.
>>291582887You can almost see why /r9k/ exists.
>>291580772>Men there aren't forced to settle for less because of fucked up gender dynamics like they are here.Nice joke anon.Jap men are even more Cucked than US ones are.
>>291588049
>>291588049It's clearly not doing its job. And neither are the moderators.
>>291567718>>291587918Not sure why you're assuming the story is trying to be realistic. It can just be a fantasy, you know. That's enjoyable to write in and of itself. Some middle aged unmarried dude who is extraordinarily awkward, but lucks into a friendship with some cute girl who is fun to be around, and who enjoys his awkwardness despite all logic and reason. The author isn't making some statement about what real relationships are like.
>>291587803Because this is a fantasy and not IRL anon, come on.
>>291588155we're not talking about the story being realistic, dumbass
>>291587691I mean, 2D looks better at the end of the day.
>>291588155retard
>>291568263In the very first episode she explains that guys are constantly trying to get in Yamada's pants, which is part of why she likes Sasaki's oshikatsu-esque appreciation of her
>>291585881Are you old enough to work? I work for a Japanese company that manufactures parts for Honda cars. My boss and coworkers are Japanese, and normal Japanese people aren't like this, they can talk, smile, and function normally without being awkward. Anime and real life Japanese people are as different from each other as a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white girl and an abos.
>>291588298That tells us nothing. Men can fall for any 6/10 cashier as long as they're being nice to them.
>>291588309You put white women on a pedestal and I sense it is the root of all your problems.
>>291573076>>291581133Bingo. History has proven women love a father figure who looks after them, gives them a proper fucking, and punishes them when appropriate.>>291588371He was talking about Japs, retard.
>>291588371Quit projecting, nigger. It's a way of showing how different they are from each other, since that anon said that Japanese salary men are exactly the same as anime beta faggot, which is not true. No one in the real world, Japanese or not, is as pathetic as these anime romcom main characters.
>>291588410You're not even denying it either. I was right.
>>291588449How? You didn't refute any of his points.
>>291587935women love the will they won't they dance
>>291579560>everything is propaganda!smoking is cool. get over it.
>>291588410>No one in the real worldThere are plenty you just haven't met them because they are basement dwellers
>>291568824that would be cucking the tall faggot
>>291589231women love that
>>291567523She's not the brightest.
>>291568824I'd normally be mad but I'm not emotionally invested in this so it would make me laugh
>>291568824I would not mind seeing a age gap relationship where they make a good argument for the couple not working and the guy gets with someone his age.........BUT this the world of Manga, the chance they do that with a proper setup and not a last minute change are 1 in a million.
>>291588072I don’t know. Japan has a lot of messed up relationship dynamics between the sexes (especially in marriage), but divorce and settling for less I haven’t heard much of. Most couples stay together even when one or both are cheating because “it’s okay so long as there’s no emotions involved”.
>>291567718Sad that no one realizes this is what the 90s were like.
>>291588328Can confirm.
>>291568824>the other 40 year old manager?No, she's for me.
>>291588383 Yes and no, in my opinion. Even if love wasn’t a factor, many of those marriages were still built on mutual respect and making themselves happy.
>>291588155Faggots forget the point of most Anime. You're right anon.
>>291567718Those types of stories are never written by a man.
Stares at you.
>>291593411>Those types of stories are never written by a man.Shocking to learn that the story where all the Women characters are designed around the male gaze and robbed of any agency outside of being cute and/or subservient was written by a scrote....Only a man would think that Women find Saski's behaviour cute when in reality he would be giving folx the ick.
>>291593978just make him 140 and a billionaire vampire then it wont matter what he acts like
>>291593978The fuck are you talking about. The women in this manga are all weirdos.
>>291594052t.scrote unable to comprehend the nuances and intricacies of Women's Literature.
>>291594052>>291594169Don't respond to bait.
it's so over. she's alpha widowed from the guy that stepped in when she was getting yelled at by a customer 8 years ago.She can't even remember his face but she still longs for him, you can't even compete with a modern day woman. what's even the point, you get with a 24yo hag woman, service worker
