@kronix lol most certainly. she's a beta herself
I mean it's fairly normal for women to be extremely passive when it comes to romance, but this is, well, a shyness that borders on needing serious psychotherapy.
Always a bit of a double standard though, since we never really seem to expect women to be the brave ones and tell someone else how they feel. (in real life anyways).
In harem manga it's the precise opposite, sexually aggressive girls being turned down by a beta MC. which is why I liked school days. Makoto handled that shit.
