Who said I wanted him to be a chad? I just want an MC to not be this incompetent when interacting with women around him.
And I think you're giving his stupidity way too much leeway. He's not acting like an idiot when no one is looking he's an idiot period whether it's by himself or in front of the girls. Reread the story from beginning to end this guy is dumb.
it has been quite a long time since I last read this manga, but I skimmed through the manga from chap 1...and well, I dunno about you, in terms of interacting with the girls that he was put in charge off, he did pretty ok...like sure, it's not "chad" level of interacting, but from what I've seen, he barely had any real stupid or cringe moment interacting with Aroma, or none at all even. Yeah he was pretty stupid with the whole naked stream thing, but that's kinda irrelevant when it comes to the girls, so honestly who cares lol, we make some dumbass mistakes from time to time.
Regarding Ichifuji, like I mean, it's a manga I get it... but being made to be a PSEUDO BOYFRIEND for someone who's practically a stranger would probably put most people aback a bit, so I don't blame him. It's not like he fumbled around like a donkey and stutterd his words or whatever, he actually talked with her pretty damn normally from what I've seen, albeit slight bit awkward, but who wouldn't be. Hell their date went almost flawlessly so what more can we say. He's only fumbling around THIS CHAPTER because he was under the false pretense that she, a GRAVURE IDOL, was actually in love with him, so I'll at least give him that, it's all resolved in like 1 chapter so eh.
The Kumori girl is kinda unhinged, so it honestly doesn't really count. I'm not even gonna say anything about the 4th girl.
Is he an idiot by nature? Perhaps. Was he an idiot when he was interacting with the first 2 girls? BARELY.
