No sorry I was talking to the first guy I responded to, I didn't notice you were someone different. My B for not paying attention to usernames.
I don't agree, his whole reason for not wanting to date her is he doesn't think she'll take the relationship seriously.
But how is Shishou supposed to know something like this? You're saying he's stupid for not agreeing to date her because the author of his story said he would be able to trust her? There's no indication in the story itself that she would give a shit at all.
Volume 1 sold so poorly they had to make a bonus chapter begging people to buy it or they'd get the axe; since then male cupids were introduced and it's been all straight couples. I don't think it's a quota, more like an editor tapping the author on the shoulder and telling them to pivot away...
The uncle is her actual Russian uncle I'm pretty sure. That flashback took place before she moved to Japan. It's a nod to the fat pedo guy but it's clearly not the same character.
How was that suggested? The "virginal pretend slut" is such a ubiquitous cliché in manga these days everyone just assumed she was one of them, but it was left ambiguous until now I'm pretty sure.
She thought a home run was a once in a 100 years phenomenon, so it was an easy bet to make. I really hope this manga goes for like 30 volumes and the team wins Koshien and Nagisa never learns a single thing about baseball along the way.
