I watched that Breath of Fire anthology stream and saw how they really paid money for the plot. It was sad it was unable to get to the next level, seeing the poor working conditions in Japan. Most likely this is what they call the "black companies".
At this point anything Queen Bee made is watchable. Look at the production of the anime today.
The last full body series I saw with quality was from Project 9, Tomozaki-kun season 2.
I think we moved from the male character side to Azusa's side of the story. It seems the gyaruo plowing Azusa is serving also or is a Lackey of another demonized human, like the male character.
Blank headed protagonists is a culture for Japan where they want to beat the upstanding nail back on the ground.
Similar to how Crabs pulling each other instead of piling themselves up to escape the basket.
They want to make the Mc so dumb or so controversial that readers will react...
