It makes sense because first of all, they're still in school. Then not only does the hot girl appear but it turns out they're compatible. Most guys would think that they should take the chance. He's most likely being awkward because he wants to shoot his shot but he doesn't want to betray his...
I like that this manga has a habit of skipping pointless filler. First the duchess and the duke actually communicating instead of hoping the other would just magically know their thoughts for 20 chapters and now this.
I'm not even complaining, I'm just saying that the switch will look like that if they did it or if that's how the raws come now. It looks bad on them either way. But just because it looks bad doesn't mean it is.
Especially since they keep at least one chapter held back to try to make you read on their site instead of mangadex. This stinks of "no chapter yet, let's break the one we have in half" even if that's how the original was.
There was that line of "when I woke up in this body" that was never expanded on. It's also weird that he knows her from his past life and she seemed to be set on him for that reason and then succubus instead.
I agree about the Emma censorship complaints, report to the nearest wood chipper. But remember Charlotte is also underage, so watch the complaints about the steam for her.
But I do agree the black boxes are kinda obtrusive, but I also can't think of something better. Magic steam to sexualize...
Goons used to attack people tend to train for the single job they have as well, often also from a young age. Nobody wants to hire someone that can only fight but loses every time.
Yup, the story can handle one more chapter as an epilogue and then I fear it will just be downhill from there. Also, the teenager taking on an army of adult thugs without breaking a sweat shouldn't be handwaved, that was just som bad writing.
There's only so much you can do with this premise before it gets stale. Glad the author knew not to try and drag it out, hope the manga keeps the pace too.
