If anyone interested, translated WN, which is up to Chapter 141, translation seems to have stopped, but WN is still ongoing and have 281 chapters, LN have 2 Volumes but doesn't seems to be translated though
Amusing, the guy not thinking she likes him makes more sense because shes acting so strangely but at the same time he sees no reason for her actions since they never chat.
I’m not tryna hate or whatever just thought I’d point out another story like this. The one with the girl with the mask.” I don’t understand miss shiroganes facial expressions at allL”
I don't think you can really blame his brick-like density in this case. Because in here we have:
A former idol who's clearly still popular, at least in her class. This gives MC the automatic, maybe subconscious reasoning of 'yeah, no way I can get with her, she's so out of my league', so he doesn't give it a second thought from that point.
Said idol is used to talking to many people, but she and the MC have not once spoke to each other directly (at least as far as we've seen so far) other than the brief exchanges at the convenience store where she doesn't initiate the conversation, probably because she has little experience in that regard compared to the other way around.
MC has been watching the idol for a while, so he's something of a fan, further strengthening the first point of why he'll never go out with her. He seems casual about it, though, so who knows how much he knows about the idol in her work and personal life previously (as far as she's comfortable releasing in public, of course), but this new behavior he's seeing is totally new to him, completely different from what he has seen of her so far, so of course he'd have no idea how to handle the situation when directed at him.
We have yet to see what it is about MC that she likes so much or what drew her to him, but it's likely he won't see it as that big of a deal, more like a convenient passing thought, as most guys would, hence why he wouldn't consider it being the reason for her to like him.
We have yet to see MC being acquainted with other girls, so it's possible he's lacking experience in that department, as well, further strengthening the reason he's confused of the idol's behavior.
Despite that, I like how stupid the idol looks when around her obvious crush, so I'm sticking around for that alone.
I was somewhat expecting the tags to change to Boys Love and Crossdressing with how thirsty MC is for his friend and how often he thought "if I was a girl" lmao
I have a few thing to say:
1. This is hilarious.
2. The bromance here is strong.
3. Let's be fair, if I were the mc, I wouldn't think that fmc likes me, I would think that fmc is a fucking weird person, and what do you know, mc does exactly that, so don't shit on my man.
