Thanks for the translation! This looks interesting, always appreciate a layered storyline with potential

 

[carlisert]

Seems interesting.

This dude is hilarious, but working at a host club, if that's what it is, as a high schooler, really?
The lunch didn't even look bad, it looked fine to me.

 

[litmim]

The MC is eccentric, that's one thing I'll say. Kinda like it

 

[Mangamoz]

Another "I totally didn't write a character with a mental disorder" manga?

Either japanese mangaka are geniuses at understanding mental disorders.

Or they are just writing these character types on total accident.

As an autist myself I am unsure if I should be honored or not about this.

Thanks for the probably accidental representation I guess?

 

[shadowsito]

Really weird first chapter since it doesnt feel like a first chapter at all.

Still look promising!

 

[Sussudio]

I couldn't help myself and looked at the raws. This manga is darker and have more nuance than it looks from the first chapter.

Spoiler: Spoiler

First of all, I thought it would be bait but the MC is truly working working as a host club person. Seems like he has a personality switch when doing it. He also seem to have some really bad Mom drama going on with her hospitalize and stuff. The FMC not to be left behind seem to be having Daddy drama at home too. Dad is sus as hell too. Don't like that situation at all.

They are creating characters based on the needs of the story first, worrying about their impact on the general culture dostant second.

My guess is this story is going to be about a guy who lives in a world related to sex work (super intensive emotions), and ironically he does not understand love/sex/human emotions. The point of his "autism" is to make the story interesting, so in reality if his traits map on any real issue, it's purely accidental.

Sometimes it feels as if in western media there was a stigma against using mental issues/race/orientation/whatever without "addressing it in a responsible way" , which makes people stressed out when writing them, -> they are less confident in presentation/worry about crossing the line-> which in turn makes the characters less interesting and worse in a way, even if it is "right".

In a way, any person with an issue has to be an ambassador of all ppl with that issue, which in turn makes them represent no one.
But then, there is the american show "good doctor", so what do I know

Man, so long as this stays away from rape and NTR, ill handle anything thrown at me.

Idk, I feel that this types of characters would be more interesting if it was stated that they are neurodivergent, otherwise it's just "jijijiji, he's so socially inept is cute and quirky"

But the art is nice and there seems that the other characters are interesting.

Agreed. Gimme the drama, gimme the bait. Just don't pull the trigger.

 

[ciera]

Thanks for the scanlation

 

[Hunter_Main]

Can't tell if it's the lack of sleep, but I'm confused

 

[UnvalidUserName]

He is a himbo gigolo? Anyways, that's shady as fuck
