So I was half right in the last chapter thread but I didn't factor that she likes him like an animal which is appropriate given how he acts. Surprised to see this back so thanks for the translations.

Man I remember why I stopped reading this. The MC is just insufferable. He's an idiot and not the good kind (As if there is a good kind of male idiot).

I just can't understand anyone liking him with the way he acts. He's good at his job I think? But outside of that other than sincerity he really has nothing going for him. It's hard to watch.

Hell the girl he thought likes him only likes him not for him being a reliable, strong man but because he's the closest dude in the vicinity to her right now. And now it's because he reminds her of a pet. It's really sad to see that.

tbh, it could be ALOT worse, bro's awkward but that's kinda about it, can't all be ultra chad rizzlords or whatever...at least he went and aired the whole thing out, and not keep the misunderstanding sloshing around his brain IN ONE CHAPTER, some mangas would've probably milked this thing for a good couple of chapters.

And let's be honest, it's not like he's doing anything overly insufferable IN FRONT of the girls (if anything, the girls are the ones that are on the coo-coo side, at least the 3 that got introduced afterwards), given the fact that he was made to be in charge of FOUR GRAVURE IDOLS basically, I'd say he's not doing anything way too out of the ordinary. And cmon, we all sometimes act like idiots occasionally when nobody's looking. and have our own stupid inner monologues.

That was the point though. Remember how she realised it? She doesn't actually like him, she likes the idea of being in love and having a boyfriend. She realised that there was nothing about him specifically that she liked. It was good character development for her.

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.

Yes and? That furthers my point of the stupidity of this MC. I wasn't talking about the girl at all.

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.

Low-key hate the MC like dawg, your incompetence can't be that high, like when the fuck is he getting a glow up or a talk with an adult, Luke blud is too nonchalant about everything he's doing
