Danjohi 1:5 no Sekai demo Futsu ni Ikirareru to Omotta? ~Geki Juu Kanjou na Kanojotachi ga Mujikaku Danshi ni Honrousaretara~ - Ch. 10

He doesn't even flirt with them, unless you count obvious compliments as flirting. Telling someone who's beautiful that their beautiful if they ask isn't flirting, it's just stating a fact.

<peers into crystal ball> I see trouble in your future. Good luck to you!

, we'll be picking up this series now that ROML scans has disbanded.

They disbanded? That's unfortunate since this wasn't the only thing they were translating. Thanks for picking this up though, anyone know what happened?

Bruh! How did he got that close to his student.
I tutored some HS girls last year. And I'd always maintain atleast a full arm length distance from them.

Because he's a moron who "doesn't know how different types of kindness can exist".

He treats everyone around him in the same manner and then is sad that his girlfriend back then broke up with him over it.

Hopefully he doesn't get stabbed in this world, instead.

Pretty sure they've said that the ratio of guys has been gradually decreasing, right now it's 1:5 and it's gonna get worse with time.

Soon it will be 1:39...

Hope this doesn't end up to a harem ending, but the plot says otherwise

Why don't you want a harem ending?

 

[UdenEmpati]

To be fair, he never said he would have the same level of romance with everyone, just the same level of kindness. Honestly I don't see much of an issue with that, if he's just helping everyone out.

So, just like if you date a police officer or firefighter, whoever dates him just has to understand that he's not going to stop doing what he does just because he's in a relationship now.

I'm not sure it's correct to equate the sort of kindess he's got going on with the sort that a firefighter or police officer going around helping the public.

It sounds like, going off everything here, he's complimenting every girl he meets even if they're not his active girlfriend and telling them things like 'you're so smart' or 'no you look beautiful the way you already are'. Getting to physically close when helping them with something like in this chapter here. He's "being kind" to them in the same way, not understanding that you just don't do that with just anyone if you're actively dating someone.

and then getting sad that his gf broke up with him, but making excuses for himself like "that's just how I was raised" when it's a habit he should be learning to break. Especially since it'll potentially go badly with some of the women he's currently mixed up with.

@blooberry page 20 should probably change "him" to "them", I understand Japanese uses gender neutral pronouns but in the later pages where she complains her mother didn't tell her the tutor was a man, it makes very little sense because actually she did in this translation.

Honestly Koumi is starting to feel like a bigger problem than the stalker office lady at this point

is 'oof' supposed to be 'guhehe' in JP?

Pretty sure it's meant to be this

Shinomiya Shiori. Likes book. Small ribbons on the side of the head. "Conquer". This has to be a nod to The World God Only Knows.

I commented on this when I read the web novel last year. I was really hoping to see someone else catch the reference.

This is the real closet pervert, not basketball girl.

BasketBall girl is still my number 1 at this Manga.

 

[Olivebirdy]

It's kinda weird fiction she's reading. Male MC, female deuteragonist where the male is both cool and 'unlucky.' In current-world fiction, that sounds like Shounen, so it should be the FMC who would be the self insert, the cool character.

 

[JoeKerr]

This is just sad

Based on what Masato is saying here I don't think he's ever felt romantic love before this. Even if you're kind to everyone you will treat the people around you differently but based on his girlfriend breaking up with him over not doing that then it seems he doesn't do that even subconsciously. He might not even be able to feel romantic love at all. If this extends further and he can't treat anyone differently (obviously not including antagonistic people) then I would go onto to say he can't feel familial love either. I don't remember, but I don't recall him displaying lust either. So maybe he can't feel any kind of love at all. If true it would be interesting to see how this effects relationship in a world where men increasingly don't existence.

Another question is did Masato have friends in his original world or did they gradually distance themselves, like his girlfriends did, after discovering he treats his friends the same as total strangers?

Thank you for translating

but also

I don't think he's had trouble making friends. Chapter 1 page 8 has him mentioning that he had fun with his friends, and didn't realize how precious the relationships were until he was translocated. Which makes me think he has a harder time establishing  close relationships.

Growing up in an orphanage (the "facility" as mentioned in the manga), I'm sure he had a rotating group of caretakers and was never treated any different from any of the other orphans. So he likely has minimal experience with forming close bonds with one or two special people, especially after adopting his current "be kind and polite to everyone" mindset. He had friends he hung out with, but I bet he never had a best friend, his one true childhood friend.

It should also be noted that he never mentioned asking a girl out. By his own admission, he went out with girls who confessed to him. Surely, they saw his kind nature and wanted to get closer, only to find out that he doesn't know how to do that. He never learned. And, knowing that other nice guys who can treat someone extra special actually exist, they broke up with Masato...

...But the girls in this world know they don't have that luxury. For them,  Masato is the one who's special. Koumi even struggles with this way back in the second chapter. She also wants Masato to treat her special, like his ex-girlfriends from his old world. Only, she doesn't have the luxury of selection, and she knows this. So she wrestles between her jealousy of wanting to be Masato's only, but still willing to do anything just to still be close to him.

The other girls are presumably the same, which leads to Masato's statements about his own nievety in the first chapter. He thought he could survive just fine in this new world, and to his credit, I'm sure he could "survive" just fine with this attitude in his old world. Only, the girls in this world won't cut and run. They're going to get more and more possessive and desperate, and his way of thinking will be forced to adapt... one way or another.

this is what the average 4chan user and reddit mod thinks how girls would react when they try and "make a move" on them

Well, she is supposed to be like the average 4chan user (if you ignore the fact that she is cute). She isn't supposed to act like a girl in our world, but like an incel who, for the first time in her life, met an attractive, nice man.

I actually think you touch on some good points, and I'm rethinking how I view the ML a bit now in light of that.
I do think the primary point of "he'd better learn to unlearn how he interacts with people" still holds, as it will absolutely impose consequences on him down the line given the circumstances of his new reality.

But I find him a bit more sympathetic given your perspective on why he is the way he is (and the nuances of his behavior relative to what happens around/to him from others), so.

I can't say I personally like/respect his behavior and outlook all that much still, but I can at least say it comes from a place of better understanding now lol

 

[Rossmage]

Oh, absolutely. His thinking is definitely limited and a product of his environment growing up, his personal decisions, and his habits. And it's absolutely not healthy if he wants to develop a close romantic relationship with someone else. He could get by in his old world like he is, though he'll have troublesome romances (if any at all).

But none of these girls will give him that luxury in this world. His way of thinking will come to a head sooner or later, since none of these girls are going to let him escape. We'll have to see how it all shakes out, and whether he survives it or fails to adapt...
