Romcom where the heroine's solution to every problem is segs
I'm pretty sure you'll like this manga after reading the Volume 1 LN spoiler summary in the images below.I'll share Summary Light Novel Volume 1 here, WARNING : Please Don't Click if you Hate Spoiler. I Splitting this into 2 parts since it won't fit in one comment. here for part 1
After reading this whole LN, you could say the MC's "lower half" plays a bigger role in the heroine's character development lol. The heroine wants to build her confidence through Sex, so whenever she has a problem, she ends up asking for it. The MC is the exact same at the end.seeing the heroine's growth makes him want to change too. And how does he decide to gain that confidence? Yup, he just asks her for Sex WTF.
Characters:
★ In Class 1-3 of Misasagi Private Academy, the heroine (Nabata Kotori) is surrounded by her friend group, who are asking about her look, especially her ear piercings. The MC (Hashio Takumi) watches her get swarmed and listens in on their chat. Kotori only gives really short answers to their questions. Even though she seems cold, she's actually super popular in class for her cool attitude and looks, earning her the nickname "Ice Princess." Takumi is the only one who knows that Kotori is actually a massive introvert who has no idea how to communicate properly, which is why she only replies with a few words.
★ After school, Takumi is hanging out in Kotori's room because she asked him for a favor. Today, Kotori's friends invited her to go to "Futaba" (Starbucks). Kotori can barely remember even one Starbucks menu item, and now she has to try a trendy new drink. Feeling totally insecure, she asks Takumi to help her do a "routine" that gives her a confidence boost. And by "routine," she means having Sex with him. She immediately takes off her panties, leans her upper body onto the bed next to her, buries her face in a pillow while hugging it, and points her backside at Takumi. Takumi double-checks if she really needs to do this routine, and since she insists, he agrees. He asks where she keeps the condoms, grabs one, puts it on, and they do the deed. Afterward, she asks if he enjoyed it. Feeling embarrassed, he just tells her to look at the used condom himself. (The reason Kotori needs this Sx routine to build confidence goes back to middle school. She got a fake confession from a guy, and it turned out to be a cruel prank. The guys who set it up laughed at her, which deeply hurt and traumatized her. Both Kotori and Takumi actually lost their V-cards back in middle school. At the time, Kotori was dealing with the bitter aftermath of that fake confession, which completely destroyed her self-esteem. Meanwhile, Takumi was in despair because an injury forced him to quit the track club. In her moment of insecurity, Kotori challenged Takumi, saying her body could never attract a guy because she was previously mocked that a girl like her could never turn a guy on. Takumi wanted to prove that wasn't true. Caught up in the moment, they ended up having Sx for the first time. Even though Kotori completely changed her look in high school and became gorgeous, she still couldn't change her true introverted nature.)*
★ Both Takumi and Kotori are natural introverts, loners, and don't have many friends. But when high school started, Kotori managed to change her appearance so she could hang out with a group of girls, even if her communication skills still suck. Takumi, on the other hand, stayed a loner. His face and eyes make him look like a delinquent, so people are scared to approach him. Since he has no intention of changing his look or attitude, he just stays isolated. Actually, back in elementary school, they both used to hang out with other kids thanks to A-chan. A-chan always dragged the introverted Takumi and Kotori into playing with her and her friends. But once A-chan transferred schools, Takumi and Kotori went right back to being loners.
★ During recess, Takumi sees a student struggling to carry a bunch of stuff. He wants to help, but based on past experiences, his offers usually just scare people, so he decides against it. Suddenly, a girl's voice offers to help the struggling student. She also asks Takumi, who is standing nearby, to lend a hand. Her name is Ikoma Akira, a second-year student. Not only that, but when it's raining after school and Takumi doesn't have an umbrella, Akira greets him and lends him hers. Takumi feels totally comfortable and can talk to her normally, which makes him super curious about her. He tries to find out more about Akira, but he never manages to bump into her during recess.
★ Takumi gets summoned by Kotori. Her friends told her to try a new perfume tomorrow, so she wants some confidence to wear it at school, meaning she asks Takumi to help with the "routine" (S*x). Afterward, still lacking confidence, Kotori asks if Takumi is unsatisfied since it felt different this time. Takumi instinctively shows her the used condom to prove that the amount he released is exactly the same as always, just so she won't feel sad. He finally comes clean and admits he was just distracted thinking about something else. He tells her about bumping into Akira at school, a senpai he can actually talk to normally. Kotori offers to help him find out more about this senior. Not forgetting the whole point of today's routine, she puts on her new perfume and asks Takumi to smell it. Even though they literally just did something way more shameless, having Takumi lean in close to smell her makes Kotori blush way harder.
★ Kotori calls for Takumi again, but this time without sending her usual cat stamp text, which is their secret code for S*x. Today, she just wants his advice because her first classroom cleaning duty in high school is coming up. The duty is done in pairs between a guy and a girl. Her partner is Toba, a popular guy from the cool clique. Back in middle school, Kotori always got stuck doing all the chores alone, so this time, she really wants to do it properly with someone else. She makes it her goal to at least say hi to Toba before their shift so they can communicate smoothly later.
★ In class, Kotori tries to greet Toba, but she's so shy and nervous that she literally can't squeeze out a single word. This makes it look like she's annoyed by his behavior, causing a huge misunderstanding with the whole class. Freaking out, she immediately sends the cat stamp text, demanding the S*x routine right then and there. During recess, she calls Takumi to an empty, unused room in the old school building. She asks for it and even brings a condom she hid in her sanitary pad pouch. She immediately leans her upper body on a desk, pulls down her panties, and tells Takumi to do the usual routine. But this time, Takumi is so incredibly nervous that his lower half refuses to stand up. He ends up apologizing because he can't help her out.
★ Feeling guilty, Takumi tries to find another way to help Kotori greet Toba. When he runs into Akira at the library, she advises that Kotori doesn't actually need to speak, she can just use gestures, like a light tap on the arm. Takumi relays this tip to Kotori, and she tries it out. Toba, who has insane communication skills, instantly gets what she means. But completely unexpectedly, her awkward gesture makes Toba and the rest of the class misunderstand things even further. They all start thinking she has a massive crush on him, and the two of them even end up swapping numbers.
★ On the day of their classroom duty, Kotori is a nervous wreck in the morning and asks Takumi to come over for some S*x before school. During the act, she asks why it feels different this time. It turns out Takumi is testing out some new techniques he read about online. He asks if she likes it. Blushing, she admits she does. When Takumi offers to stop and just stick to their usual routine, she shyly begs him to keep doing what he was just doing.
★ At school, Toba, fully convinced that Kotori is into him, keeps making moves. Takumi, who heard the rumors, secretly tails Kotori when she and Toba go to the storage room to put some stuff away.
★ Alone with Toba, Kotori's face is totally red because she’s still thinking about her morning routine with Takumi. Once they're in the storage room, Toba suddenly confesses his feelings to her out of nowhere. This instantly triggers her trauma from the fake middle school confession, freezing her body in pure terror. Seeing her just stand there without rejecting him, Toba gets bold and tries to touch her. Luckily, Akira arrives just in time and shoves Toba away. Shortly after, Takumi, who was watching from afar, sprints over to check on Kotori. She actually manages to say "thank you" to Akira. Just like Takumi, she can talk to Akira normally, which makes her want to get closer to the senior too.
★ Both Takumi and Kotori want to get closer and be friends with Akira. They find out she’s in the volunteer club, so they decide to join it. Even though they’ve made up their minds, Kotori is still super anxious. So, as usual, she asks Takumi for some confidence-boosting S*x before they meet Akira the next day.
★ Takumi and Kotori manage to meet Akira and beg her to let them join her volunteer club. It turns out the club doesn't actually exist—it's just a makeshift group Akira started to help people out. Seeing how dead-set they are on joining, she lets them in and immediately invites them to a meeting at the mall to prep for the upcoming Hana Bishi Festival. They’re thrilled to be accepted, but since they aren't mentally prepared for a meeting that very day, they decide to officially join the next day instead.
★ The next meeting is with the handicraft club, who are participating in the Hana Bishi Festival at the mall. The volunteer group is helping them prep. The handicraft club plans to put on a band performance and do some cosplay. They decide to cosplay from a trending anime, Okuri Bito no Frieze (Frieren). The club president, a massive otaku, hits it off right away with Takumi and Kotori since they all love Frieze. They spend the whole day geeking out over the anime. After the meeting, when they arrive at Kotori's house, she grabs Takumi's collar. She managed to blend in today thanks to the Frieze chat, but she's still worried she won't fit in tomorrow. So, to boost her confidence, she once again asks Takumi for their usual routine. And yep, as always, they do the deed at her place.
★ It turns out both Takumi and Kotori are really good at sewing. Thanks to their help, the Frieze cosplay costumes are finished in no time. The festival committee (the handicraft club, the band, and the volunteers) decides to go to karaoke on Sunday as a bonding trip. Since Takumi and Kotori have never been to karaoke before, they decide to do a practice run just the two of them to get a feel for the vibe. Inside the room, Kotori suddenly wants to try singing. But with a shy, hopeful look in her eyes, it's pretty obvious she actually wants to do the S*x routine in the karaoke room. Panicking, Takumi quickly queues up her song to distract her and avoid doing it in a public place. Just as she's about to start singing, the staff calls to say they only have five minutes left. They end up going home without singing a single song.
★ On Sunday, the day of the big committee karaoke hangout, Takumi and Kotori do their usual pre-game S*x for mental preparation. But this time is a bit different. Kotori seems to be making excuses because her moans are way louder than usual. Takumi apologizes, thinking he did something wrong, and promises not to do it again if she didn't like it. But blushing hard, Kotori admits that what they just did was actually way more satisfying and begs him to keep doing it.
▼ Skipping straight to the end... basically, during the festival, Kotori gets appointed as the band's vocalist because the committee heard how good she was during the karaoke trip.
★ Takumi and Kotori want to buy a thank-you gift for Akira for helping them socialize with so many people. Before heading out to buy it, they do their routine (S*x), mostly because they're heading to a crowded shopping mall. At the mall, they browse around and settle on an assorted scented bath salt set. Takumi gathers his courage and begs Kotori to let him be the one to hand the gift to Akira, and she agrees.
★ On the day of the festival, Kotori and the band rock their Frieze cosplay costumes made by the handicraft club. On their way to the mall, they turn a lot of heads. Deep down, Takumi feels proud but also a little jealous of Kotori's growth. She's become so brave, while he's still terrified of simply handing a gift to Akira. While they're alone, Takumi begs Kotori to help him become a "real man." At first, she doesn't get it, but he explains that he wants to do their usual S*x routine, but this time, his goal is entirely to satisfy her. Kotori agrees. After she changes back into her school uniform, they head back to school together.
★ Since it's a holiday, the school is completely empty. They sneak into an unused classroom and lock the door. This time, since Takumi's goal is to satisfy Kotori, he wants to do it while looking at her face. He starts by hugging her and actually asks for permission before touching different parts of her body. This is a huge shift from their usual routine where they just jump straight into it. He even asks if he can touch her chest, and she says yes, as long as she keeps her clothes on. They get totally swept up in the moment and almost kiss, but Kotori stops it since that crosses the boundaries they set for their "routine."

PART 2
★ Unexpectedly, this session gets Kotori incredibly turned on, way more than usual. Even though Takumi had been making her feel good lately, the stimulation this time is just on another level. She even wants to go for another round. She quickly changes back into her Frieze costume and asks Takumi to do the routine again, using the excuse that she's nervous about performing in the outfit.
▼ For the finale, when Takumi is about to hand the gift to Akira, he accidentally sees her surrounded by buff guys in black suits. He assumes they're some dangerous gang and that she's in trouble. It turns out Akira is actually the daughter of the Oowada Group, which is rumored to be a Yakuza syndicate. Akira clarifies they aren't Yakuza, though she doesn't exactly explain what they are. At first, since Takumi found out her secret, she plans to transfer schools. But the vibe completely shifts when Takumi, utterly failing to read the room, just randomly hands her the thank-you gift from him and Kotori. Akira bursts out laughing at how clueless he is and decides to scrap her plan to transfer. Instead, she decides to team up with Takumi so she can finally experience life as a normal high school girl.

After reading this whole LN, you could say the MC's "lower half" plays a bigger role in the heroine's character development lol. The heroine wants to build her confidence through Sex, so whenever she has a problem, she ends up asking for it. The MC is the exact same at the end.seeing the heroine's growth makes him want to change too. And how does he decide to gain that confidence? Yup, he just asks her for Sex WTF.

Suddenly, a girl's voice offers to help the struggling student. She also asks Takumi, who is standing nearby, to lend a hand. Her name is Ikoma Akira, a second-year student. Not only that, but when it's raining after school and Takumi doesn't have an umbrella, Akira greets him and lends him hers. Takumi feels totally comfortable and can talk to her normally, which makes him super curious about her. He tries to find out more about Akira, but he never manages to bump into her during recess.
★ Takumi gets summoned by Kotori. Her friends told her to try a new perfume tomorrow, so she wants some confidence to wear it at school, meaning she asks Takumi to help with the "routine" (S*x). Afterward, still lacking confidence, Kotori asks if Takumi is unsatisfied since it felt different this time. Takumi instinctively shows her the used condom to prove that the amount he released is exactly the same as always, just so she won't feel sad. He finally comes clean and admits he was just distracted thinking about something else. He tells her about bumping into Akira at school, a senpai he can actually talk to normally. Kotori offers to help him find out more about this senior. Not forgetting the whole point of today's routine, she puts on her new perfume and asks Takumi to smell it. Even though they literally just did something way more shameless, having Takumi lean in close to smell her makes Kotori blush way harder.
★ Kotori calls for Takumi again, but this time without sending her usual cat stamp text, which is their secret code for S*x. Today, she just wants his advice because her first classroom cleaning duty in high school is coming up. The duty is done in pairs between a guy and a girl. Her partner is Toba, a popular guy from the cool clique. Back in middle school, Kotori always got stuck doing all the chores alone, so this time, she really wants to do it properly with someone else. She makes it her goal to at least say hi to Toba before their shift so they can communicate smoothly later.
★ In class, Kotori tries to greet Toba, but she's so shy and nervous that she literally can't squeeze out a single word. This makes it look like she's annoyed by his behavior, causing a huge misunderstanding with the whole class. Freaking out, she immediately sends the cat stamp text, demanding the S*x routine right then and there. During recess, she calls Takumi to an empty, unused room in the old school building. She asks for it and even brings a condom she hid in her sanitary pad pouch. She immediately leans her upper body on a desk, pulls down her panties, and tells Takumi to do the usual routine. But this time, Takumi is so incredibly nervous that his lower half refuses to stand up. He ends up apologizing because he can't help her out.
★ Feeling guilty, Takumi tries to find another way to help Kotori greet Toba. When he runs into Akira at the library, she advises that Kotori doesn't actually need to speak, she can just use gestures, like a light tap on the arm. Takumi relays this tip to Kotori, and she tries it out. Toba, who has insane communication skills, instantly gets what she means. But completely unexpectedly, her awkward gesture makes Toba and the rest of the class misunderstand things even further. They all start thinking she has a massive crush on him, and the two of them even end up swapping numbers.
★ On the day of their classroom duty, Kotori is a nervous wreck in the morning and asks Takumi to come over for some S*x before school. During the act, she asks why it feels different this time. It turns out Takumi is testing out some new techniques he read about online. He asks if she likes it. Blushing, she admits she does. When Takumi offers to stop and just stick to their usual routine, she shyly begs him to keep doing what he was just doing.
★ At school, Toba, fully convinced that Kotori is into him, keeps making moves. Takumi, who heard the rumors, secretly tails Kotori when she and Toba go to the storage room to put some stuff away.
★ Alone with Toba, Kotori's face is totally red because she’s still thinking about her morning routine with Takumi. Once they're in the storage room, Toba suddenly confesses his feelings to her out of nowhere. This instantly triggers her trauma from the fake middle school confession, freezing her body in pure terror. Seeing her just stand there without rejecting him, Toba gets bold and tries to touch her. Luckily, Akira arrives just in time and shoves Toba away. Shortly after, Takumi, who was watching from afar, sprints over to check on Kotori. She actually manages to say "thank you" to Akira. Just like Takumi, she can talk to Akira normally, which makes her want to get closer to the senior too.
★ Both Takumi and Kotori want to get closer and be friends with Akira. They find out she’s in the volunteer club, so they decide to join it. Even though they’ve made up their minds, Kotori is still super anxious. So, as usual, she asks Takumi for some confidence-boosting S*x before they meet Akira the next day.
★ Takumi and Kotori manage to meet Akira and beg her to let them join her volunteer club. It turns out the club doesn't actually exist—it's just a makeshift group Akira started to help people out. Seeing how dead-set they are on joining, she lets them in and immediately invites them to a meeting at the mall to prep for the upcoming Hana Bishi Festival. They’re thrilled to be accepted, but since they aren't mentally prepared for a meeting that very day, they decide to officially join the next day instead.
★ The next meeting is with the handicraft club, who are participating in the Hana Bishi Festival at the mall. The volunteer group is helping them prep. The handicraft club plans to put on a band performance and do some cosplay. They decide to cosplay from a trending anime, Okuri Bito no Frieze (Frieren). The club president, a massive otaku, hits it off right away with Takumi and Kotori since they all love Frieze. They spend the whole day geeking out over the anime. After the meeting, when they arrive at Kotori's house, she grabs Takumi's collar. She managed to blend in today thanks to the Frieze chat, but she's still worried she won't fit in tomorrow. So, to boost her confidence, she once again asks Takumi for their usual routine. And yep, as always, they do the deed at her place.
★ It turns out both Takumi and Kotori are really good at sewing. Thanks to their help, the Frieze cosplay costumes are finished in no time. The festival committee (the handicraft club, the band, and the volunteers) decides to go to karaoke on Sunday as a bonding trip. Since Takumi and Kotori have never been to karaoke before, they decide to do a practice run just the two of them to get a feel for the vibe. Inside the room, Kotori suddenly wants to try singing. But with a shy, hopeful look in her eyes, it's pretty obvious she actually wants to do the S*x routine in the karaoke room. Panicking, Takumi quickly queues up her song to distract her and avoid doing it in a public place. Just as she's about to start singing, the staff calls to say they only have five minutes left. They end up going home without singing a single song.
★ On Sunday, the day of the big committee karaoke hangout, Takumi and Kotori do their usual pre-game S*x for mental preparation. But this time is a bit different. Kotori seems to be making excuses because her moans are way louder than usual. Takumi apologizes, thinking he did something wrong, and promises not to do it again if she didn't like it. But blushing hard, Kotori admits that what they just did was actually way more satisfying and begs him to keep doing it.
▼ Skipping straight to the end... basically, during the festival, Kotori gets appointed as the band's vocalist because the committee heard how good she was during the karaoke trip.
★ Takumi and Kotori want to buy a thank-you gift for Akira for helping them socialize with so many people. Before heading out to buy it, they do their routine (S*x), mostly because they're heading to a crowded shopping mall. At the mall, they browse around and settle on an assorted scented bath salt set. Takumi gathers his courage and begs Kotori to let him be the one to hand the gift to Akira, and she agrees.
★ On the day of the festival, Kotori and the band rock their Frieze cosplay costumes made by the handicraft club. On their way to the mall, they turn a lot of heads. Deep down, Takumi feels proud but also a little jealous of Kotori's growth. She's become so brave, while he's still terrified of simply handing a gift to Akira. While they're alone, Takumi begs Kotori to help him become a "real man." At first, she doesn't get it, but he explains that he wants to do their usual S*x routine, but this time, his goal is entirely to satisfy her. Kotori agrees. After she changes back into her school uniform, they head back to school together.
★ Since it's a holiday, the school is completely empty. They sneak into an unused classroom and lock the door. This time, since Takumi's goal is to satisfy Kotori, he wants to do it while looking at her face. He starts by hugging her and actually asks for permission before touching different parts of her body. This is a huge shift from their usual routine where they just jump straight into it. He even asks if he can touch her chest, and she says yes, as long as she keeps her clothes on. They get totally swept up in the moment and almost kiss, but Kotori stops it since that crosses the boundaries they set for their "routine."

How many "indistinct male protagonist has sneaky sex" manga are we gonna get? I used to think that anime and manga shied away too much from sex, but now they use it as a gimmick

For the millionth time introvert and extrovert have nothing to do with how social you are. It's about what recharges your social battery. Someone can be an introvert and be extremely outgoing and social and someone can be an extrovert and be extremely antisocial.
