Anta to Osananajimi tte dake demo Iya nanoni!: Zekkou kara Hajimaru S-kyuu Bishoujo to no Gakuen Nariagari Seikatsu - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

[ocsibrm]

You ever see a manga and you're like "Oh, it's this plot again."?

I don't know if that means I need to go and touch grass or if mangaka are just this bereft of ideas. I suppose it's a "¿Por qué no los dos?" situation lol.

 

[deathmailrock]

The only issue with this story is that he's too OP..... like, he's being abused while being so broken that he becomes famous and better than her.....

Like, what if he was just an actual normal dude (minus like one specific talent, like strength).

It's less that they don't have ideas, but that it's now being way too over saturated.

In the olden days, quality mattered most and there was a limit to the amount of manga being released (it felt like a lot in English speaking countries because we had access to older stuff to translate too).

But now, we just have so much stuff being pumped out that everything is starting to become over done...

The manga are being adapted from web novels and published in an app and pumped out quickly.... honestly, there isn't even much of a quality check to these instant manga....

And even if they aren't too bad (might need some editing), they are being pumped out so much that it's kinda muddying the waters....

Web Novel, they're pretty much what doujin are to manga. Self-published and if they're popular enough a publisher picks it up for a light novel version.

Thank you just learned something new

 

[OnlyHereForKurumi]

The author better have the mc have a actual character, seen too many flip-flops

 

[superdubes]

Thank you just learned something new

You're welcome. If you're curious and want to to read some. Just look up Novel Updates. They have a ton of fan translated web novels.

 

[dirtylolotrainer]

Dammn the only regret i have right now is starting this series while its just fresh. Ohh well waiting it is.

 

[crimeone]

Ok real talk here, why would you use that nasty personality on your childhood friends in order to get their attention. I’ve seen many archetypes in manga that are like that how the right mind could that work.

 

[excitionzero]

ngl
It would've been nicer if he's just a normal dude but since that didn't happen I guess here we are.

 

[alucard680]

Rua is just cartoonishly dumb/evil

 

[Mithgol]

ill never understand MC's like this, its not lack of self confidence because he knows how good he is, its not "thats my fetish" since he had no interest in it, hes just so incredibly apathic that he just accepted abuse because the amount of effort of not getting abused was too much for him

Are you really blaming the victim of a literal grooming performed by a large corporation? — he was conditioned from his early childhood to be the slave of their heiress (and eventually her sex slave, hence the correctness of the word “grooming” to describe this) and they literally admit they went so far that they physically removed, away from his sight, every potential love interest or even a friend other than her. They taught him to deny his own achievements and stay in her shadow. It's as if you've just said,

— I'll never understand Truman in “The Truman Show”, why is he so apathic and accepts the reality of the world he lives in?

he shows absolutelay no sign anywhere that he is in any way upset about any of this

He is visibly upset to the point that he breaks the damned table.

he wasnt raised to be subordinate though, its a choice he made

when the girl reports it the adults are like "well fuck hes decided to be free nothing we can do"

On the 30th page the same adults admit the following:

— Ever since the elementary school, his grades have always been straight 3's.

— He purposely scored average to fit in.

— All of this was part of his training to become Rua's shadow.

(End of quote.)

Have you just assumed now that his training was voluntary and never involved any forms of punishment for not trying hard enough to become Rui's shadow?

Even if it was voluntary on the surface, how much of his own volition does the boy really have in his elementary school days?

What about Suzuki Kazuma's immediate family, why are they conveniently (and perhaps not coincidentally) out of the picture, what about their consent to all of this happening, how much pressure from the powerful Teikai Group (and in what creative forms) has been exercised towards them?

(These are the questions we should be asking ourselves at this point of the story. But I am not asking for any spoilers from the source WN/LN.)

that grandpa is the definition of trash. he knows his grandchild fucked up and yet he took her side.

this is going to bite him back, business-wise.

That grandpa (Takayashiki Taizo) seems out of his mind.

I mean, like seriously, if Takayashiki Taizo thinks that Suzuki Kazuma is really a worthy candidate to take over the Teikai Group (and not just thinks, but is happily planning exactly that), then why the actual fuck do they keep the boy enslaved and socially isolated? How would Kazuma be a good leader when his character is intentionally crippled like that? How would he make good and rational decisions if they use his early years to instill the knowledge “friendship is slavery” in him and probably some other similar shit that is usually counter-intuitive in any normal human relationships? Does their institution need a psycho in charge? Or could that be that Takayashiki Taizo has always been literally a psycho in charge and that is exactly why the group needs a very similar heir now?

It makes some sense from the so called doylist perspective, “let's write a character who is a perfect enabler for a mesugaki ojou-sama”, but in the world itself the common sense is pretty much defied.

Got any recommendations to hook me up with? This genre kinda hits ngl.

In the subgenre of “breaking up with an abusive osananajimi love interest” one of the very good fantasy is definitely “Kensei no Osananajimi ga Power Harass de Ore ni Tsuraku Ataru no de, Zetsuen Shite Henkyou de ma Kenshi to Shite Denaosu Koto ni Shita”, I recommend it.

 

[Mithgol]

I have seen several readers above casually naming some similar titles with the intention of recommending them.

I've just decided to do the same for the following two types of the plot:

① Several powerful corporations recruit outstanding individuals while some abusive shit is happening in school and elsewhere? — try “I, a Lonely Otaku, Was Surrounded by Some of the Most Beautiful Girls on Campus and Was Called Riajuu Before I Knew It”

② A seemingly benevolent billionaire in an owner of a school for the very gifted children while his young heiress falls in love with one of them who is not naturally gifted but secretly uses an isekai doorway for leveling himself up? — try “Iseleve” (“Isekai de Cheat Skill wo Te ni Shita Ore wa, Genjitsu Sekai wo mo Musou Suru: Level Up wa Jinsei wo Kaeta”) in its anime form

 

[Ninoren]

So it's not just her, but her entire family is trash, i see

Please tell me she won't be endgame

nothing youve just said is supported by the chapter, at no point does he show any concern or acknowledge any even potential consequences of breaking off their relationships, the adults make it clear they have absolutely zero ability to control/manipulate or even influence him, the fact that they have to keep transfering away potential love interests only proves that they have literally no ability to control him at all and he would obviously pick anyone but her

how he ended up in the role of being her shadow is unknown, but its clearly a role he chose willingly and continued of his own free will

 

[wallsg]

I swear I've seen this in a video somewhere. The only thing in English I could find was this YouTube Short but it doesn't match what I remember.

 

[skillmaster216]

But wait in the WN he isn't a bodyguard neither a strong character. AFAIK (Ch 21)

 

[Prosopeio]

f those guys, the entire family is toxic apparently.. poor guy.

 

[Junomano]

To her credit she’s a brat.

Definitely in the wrong but no one’s ever told her no before so she’s never processed it before.

Id say it’s more her grandpas fault for not teaching her if anything. Interested if she grows past this though.

Pretty much her grandpa's fault for the bad education, even if you are super rich you can't do everything, even if you can do most things normal peeps can't, ultimately, money doesn't buy everything

 

[habla]

Oh joy another manga where a dude disassociates from his bratty abuser because she doesn't understand the concept of love or how to attract the one she likes because of her ego.

I will say he has a cool scar and I wonder how he got it.

Also with the brat will she actually be rehabilitated or will she keep trying to screw with him until someone reprimands her or she self-destructs and destroys her own reputation.

hoping rua gets imasara'd, but I don't actually believe it

 

[SlowSimDriver44]

There is something I don't understand or am missing. If the MC is the designated successor to inherit everything, why on earth make him the shadow of this stupid and vulgar spoilt child? How could he carry on a big business if he is always being enslaved?

I honestly don't understand
