Urakata de Support Shiteta Geinou Ikka wo Tsuihousareta Boku wa, Futsuu no Seishun wo Ouka Shitai - Ch. 12 - The Job

[Raeandra]

Still bonkers that he knew everything to do with showbiz, have the skills to do every job, and ignorant that all those jobs are usually done by different people. That means he did 0 research on the jobs he needed doing. He just walked out the womb in business casual with iPad, managing his sisters since in the womb.

 

[AutoRedux]

I really wish authors would move away from this trope.

"Eeeeek. He had no input in to the situation whatsoever but he's at fault for seeing our undies! Eeeeeeeee!"

And then somebody being stubborn just because. "He didn't do anything but I don't want him doing the makeup because the thing happened that he couldn't control."

Good lord. Put a lid on it already. I get they're high schoolers, but I wanna see a different reaction.

 

[DontWannaGo]

Out of the barrel into the fish tank he's doing the same thing it feels

 

[GreyouTT]

Dude is forgetting his make up skills were good enough to twinkify delinquents.

Well more accurately he twinkified two of them and turned the third into Nanaya Shiki from Tsukihime

 

[KanzakiYuu]

Thank goodness for the recap at the start of every chapter. I was about to forget literally the plot point of this manga!

 

[legendaryswordsman]

He is slowly going to go back to a corporate slave for 6 agencies I feel.

Nah they had him do everything including writing the songs, all aspects of them, it's why he's shocked when she wrote them

 

[legendaryswordsman]

yeah, he is at fault, because he's the male in a harem manga, with less spine than an armless octopus.

He and every guy like him are the pervy scum of the earth in the eyes of every woman in their respective universes simply for existing. Never forget that.

Well it's the idol girl who led him in.
Funny moments though very cliche
Come to be expected in harem type manga

Yeah the reaction to lucky pervert stuff is overused at least all had different thoughts and there was no violence, that part is long past it's prime

 

[aoee]

Or or or hear me out, She could just say He's the Previous make up artist of the top tier idol or something yeah? Might increase their rapport with him or something but i guess it'll lead to that anyways so nvm

 

[Hyperkinesis]

I know this situation is supposed to be endearing, but it feels incredibly exploitive... Like, all that's happened thus far is that instead of being forced to do things for his sisters, he's being forced to do the same things for seven rando girls. He's legit just being used in the same way by different people, and now we're supposed to be all—aw wow, he's found people that understand him!

The only way I would be okay with this development is if they become a stand in for him to grow a fucking spine. He can tell them to back off without them exploding at him like we know the sisters would. So it's like doing what he should've done in the first place, but on easy mode since these seem like marginally better people.

But with the way the chapter ended, I am not hopeful that's going to happen at all... He's just gonna be a doormat for these people instead, wonderful.

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

He was confident enough to do his sisters and friends make-up, and his sisters went on stage with said make-up, so why have him act unfit to do it now?

 

[GoldOrSilver]

👍

👍

 

[GoldOrSilver]

I thought this suppose to be a normal famous idol group not super sentai/power rangers idol group . 🤣🤣🤣

 

[KSFlowin]

[BanzaiYuri]

Slay, king 🫡

And like deadass, no fucking way ppl still reacting like this right?

I think it's pretty typical for idol groups to associate individuals with colors...

S'why I don't care about him.

Yeah, yeah, trauma from family blah blah blah it's actually terrible, I'm not going to downplay the reality of that.
But to me he's just boring to read about. Everyone around him now is a dime piece (or whatever equivalent coinage term would work in Japan for the phrase), and he's just "oh woe is me I suck at the job I'm actually amazing at because the family I somehow don't hate who abused and threw me out were mean to me" and he just...doesn't listen to anyone around him who tells him differently. That only really works to a point, especially as more time passes and he spends more of it away from his former slavedrivers.
And now he's letting himself be pushed around by someone else. Hasn't learned a thing.

Which is why I only want to find out what befalls his mom and sisters.

This is a revenge manga, don't go side-barring the good shit for all this dumb harem junk and goody two-shoes MC silliness.

It appears like you are under a misconception, this is an ecchi harem romcom with a revenge side plot. Actually, I'd say that it doesn't even have revenge in it at all, since MC isn't going to do anything to his family.

 

[Pantsu_Sensei]

Whoever gave name to these girl surely has stuttering issue irl

You are downplaying him if you disregard why he's like that. Trauma doesn't go away after a few nice words. He was treated likie shit by his family for literally his whole 18 years of living. 18 years of nonstop abuse, a realistic person would have either off'ed themselves, be extremely depressed, or have abysmal self-confidence. I'm pretty sure the chapters we've seen it's only been a few days before he was kicked out by his family. Takes a little more than mere encouragement to solve this, dude needs therapy. But because this is a fictional work, it will all probably work out.

Yeah, it's pretty fucked up, especially with what they know about his family and how he was treated. She didn't come to his school to comfort him, check up on him, or anything. She just wanted his talents.

Oh absolutely.

As a person, what happened to him is horrifying. I'm actually beyond pissed that the headmaster/Asuka's mom just let him drop out & transfer and didn't immediately pull him aside and be like "hey, what happened to you was fucked to hell and back and actually we're gonna get you the help and support you deserve since every adult in your life up to now has failed you abysmally", but, no - that's not going to set him up to meet cute girl after cute girl who will pity him and fall in love with him while his trauma is continuously trivialized and turned into a running gag of self-deprecation.

Which is why as a character, I don't really care about his arc, because I personally just want to witness what horrors befall his family now that the bed they've made is coated in gasoline and they've decided to take up chain smoking before sleepytimes.

I know this isn't a revenge-first title, so I realize it's just my own desires conflicting & losing with the story the author wants to tell. But the more chapters of the MC just being jerked around by a bunch of domineering women (so what's really changed, huh?), then the longer I have to wait to see the Finding Out portion of the other side of the title.

So yeah, I'm aware, and I truly would be going to bat for this kid if his trauma was being taken seriously by the manga itself - which, it's being turned into the same trope as all the "I have no idea I'm actually the strongest" because no one is actually addressing the horrific nature of his upbringing and family life 'til now.

So if the manga itself doesn't care, I am choosing to separate it out entirely, as well. If things change course and he steps up and tells off the people like Asuka in this chapter that are just straight up taking advantage of him ("oh but I'll pay you! BTW you're actually doing this for 7 people, and it's a big deal debut mmkay thx") then I'll happily reevaluate my stance.

At least Butterfly Eyes was nice to him from the start and wasn't just seeing what he could do for her.
