Danjohi 1:5 no Sekai demo Futsu ni Ikirareru to Omotta? ~ Geki Juu Kanjou na Kanojotachi ga Mujikaku Danshi ni Honrousaretara - Ch. 1

[Ingway]

Seems to play itself straight compared to the 1:39 one, but to be fair, 1:5 isn't nearly as insane as the former, where they're basically a rare commodity you'd be hard pressed to even see.

 

[Connoisseur_Ryan]

So basically all the usual tropes where the girls are beautifully highlighted are reversed and now we're being rizzed by the MC instead? I'm in.

 

[MrTurtleMan]

So this is basically a rip off of 1:39 but with a more realistic gender ratio and society? I'm down for it, my 1 criticism is why would polygamy already not be a thing? even with Islamic polygamy of max 4 wives there would still be leftover women.

 

[Snowave]

Hmm interesting 🤔

 

[icecreamiii]

Imagine it's 5 times more difficult to get a plumber or electrician or construction work done. Less people to work on oil fields or lumberjacks or delivering your washer and dryer to your house. Yeah maybe some women would have to fill the void.. but generally speaking, women usually avoid those types of vocations.

most women tend to avoid those jobs bc they r male dominated and in most cases employers dont want women in that job anyways, but things are different in this world. remember our worlds logic and stereotypes shouldnt fit in this mangas world since things there are inherently different. there are no males to dominate those fields since there just isnt as many of them, plus they need to prioritize their safety as they have a role to play in for reproducing so im sure they are instilled from birth to take safer jobs, just like how women are in our world.

So uuh…are the harem members normal dere or yandere? The eye shading makes me think they’re gonna stab each other for MC.

 

[UrAvgReader-v2]

Why does it feel ominous somehow

[Otaku_D_Gamer]

Looks like the start of something nice. Hope this main girl wins. OR maybe it will be the harem ending like usual.

 

[BlackElite]

1:5 is still manageable... I can't even imagine the one in another manga with 1:27 ratio of male and female...

 

[Karmichel]

I read the web novel and I would dare to say, this story is more like a critic to relationships in Japan... It is a harem troupe? More or less, but the women around him aren't thirsty... The thing is, they flock around him because he treats them decently... If the videos people do in Japan are real, women craves a man that treats them like Masato does... I think the way the men treats women in this "other world" is what the author thinks men do in Japan... If you look at the end of the manga chapter, in exception of the 2 college friends, the others are in different ages... A jk, middle schooler and a OL...

 

[Azaleal]

I don't think the author will use the gimmick (1:5 ratio) for anything other than "I like MC-kun because every other guy is a creep/asshole" cliché..

 

[Ariqrabbani17]

None of that is even fractionally equatable to what's being talked about.

A birth rate of 1 in 5 means that for every 50K people born, only 10K of them will be men. Even in a picturesque world where men never die during birth, they're not infertile and all the other problems that would make this bad... you're not looking at much bigger numbers.

That means 80 percent of your population isn't reproducing. That means that your society is literally rotting away to extinction. This schism becomes more drastic the smaller the number gets. Say you had a small village of about 500 people, yeah? You have 100 men, again, assuming none of them die during birth or get sick or injured and die from that, are infertile etc. etc. If a fight breaks out with a neighboring village, who are you honestly going to send to fight? The 100 men barely keeping your village alive or the 400 women, most of which won't even be having kids?

After you win that fight, what's the next course of action to secure your village's survival? You take THEIR men and you use them for breeding fodder with the other resources you've taken. You then continue this cycle of winning and taking until your village is the dominant village in the area or at least big enough that other groups don't mess with you. This is how ancient man built up their land and kept themselves alive, killing competition, cutting off their ability to breed and then outbreeding them.

This isn't about a bigger number meaning strength and power, it's basic logistics. Women HAVE to be the dominant hunters, gatherers, protectors and so forth or their society gets wiped out. You can't risk what few men you have dying doing dangerous jobs because losing a single one of them has drastic effects on your people and their future.

Sure, maybe you could have egotistical guys in this world but they sure as hell wouldn't be free while doing it. They would be objects of survival, kept and guarded and won by only those who could prove they were worth the resource, much like how our ancestors competed for women they would absolutely do the same if not more drastically since there's far fewer men in existence. They'd be symbols of status at best and used like tools at worst (that's the hentai scenario).



As one of the earlier comments pointed out, aint no way in hell monogomy would exist in this world. It would be detrimental, completely detrimental. But the author wrote it in anyway. I can tell what he's going for, but the premise goes much deeper than what the he is clearly trying to portray and that's purely wasted potential.

Edit: Calculation correction

maybe the 1:5 phenomenon was started not too long ago in the setting? You acting like it started at the beginning of the world's creation.

Because that's the basic inference given by the story.

When and if the author hints at it being a more recent phenomenon, I'll treat it like a more recent phenomenon. Until then, with no mention of said phenomenon being present, I'm going to continue on the assumption that it's always been like this.

 

[Toshkotv]

Okay this is 100 precent better than 1:39 which takes forever and it's 1 to 5 if lucky (maybe 10 on a holiday) pages also here the story actually matters and it progresses as well and it's a massive breath of fresh air because the mc is a college student instead of a fucking high schooler

 

[Nihmandra]

We need more of this genere

 

[CulR]

I feel like the author kept forgetting the premise of the story he's writing. He keeps throwing in these tropes but he's forgetting that these tropes work because they're MALE-centered in MALE-centered universes. In a world with such a massive gender skew, where women are the dominant and aggressive sex, they don't work.

Another one is that part about "Treating people like equals" when looking for a guy. Author-san, in this world, GUYS should be thinking that! Women are the DOMINANT SEX! They're the ones in position of power, they're the ones initiating and objectifying by your own mouth! You literally showed us the female equivalent of a Playboy who can't take "No" for an answer hitting on MC!

You're forgetting that women's aggression and competitive drive goes up for men they actually truly desire (top 10%). Most men will never experience this side of women even from their wife (don't hate the player hate the game sorta thing). I'd say the gender dynamics are well represented: with such skewed ratio, this "rarer" behavior from women should be the norm.

The tropes here still work for both male and female gazes in this male centered universe. The latter part from the girl's POV is literally one of the most common female fantasy: where the desirable man doesn't see her as another item to be picked up, holding her to higher regard, all while being in a position to be molded by her. The story also sorts out the male-centered part for the female gaze tropes BECAUSE the men are already PRE-QUALIFIED and DESIREABLE by default (see my first point).

The positions are switched, sure. But male brain and mating strategies doesn't work like female brain and mating strategies. This is super convenient for men. Women are only dominant in number, not value. All the men are receiving all the offers, so men are truly the dominant sex. If everybody wants you on their team, does that make you the dominant player or is everybody else the dominant player except you?

"Treating people like equals" plays into the bias of shifting fault to men, thus fulfilling another female fantasy: innocence & victimization.

For example, guys being arrogant about who they date. If women are as overly aggressive as they appeared in the first couple of pages, few guys would act like that so it shouldn't be a normative thing. Why? Because getting constantly hit on and seen as a sex object doesn't innately instill confidence, it mainly instills annoyance and disgust for the people who go through it.

Guys are also far less picky about women, so even if they have qualms about it, at the end of the day, it's pretty much for free.

What is with these stupidly long ass titles

You're forgetting that women's aggression and competitive drive goes up for men they actually truly desire (top 10%). Most men will never experience this side of women even from their wife (don't hate the player hate the game sorta thing). I'd say the gender dynamics are well represented: with such skewed ratio, this "rarer" behavior from women should be the norm.

If your society is hanging by a thread, with very few reproductive resources, then no I do not believe these attitudes would be the norm. They couldn't be. Society would have a greater hold and responsibility on both men and women and it would be incredibly drastic because humanity is constantly facing extinction. Men wouldn't be snooty, there'd be no room for it because they'd have to contribute regardless.

The tropes here still work for both male and female gazes in this male centered universe. The latter part from the girl's POV is literally one of the most common female fantasy: where the desirable man doesn't see her as another item to be picked up, holding her to higher regard, all while being in a position to be molded by her. The story also sorts out the male-centered part for the female gaze tropes BECAUSE the men are already PRE-QUALIFIED and DESIREABLE by default (see my first point).

The tropes in question was in reference to the "All Men are jerks" thing they have going on and then "Oh man, he was nice to me, gonna spread my legs like eagle wings!"

These are not functional tropes in this universe, but like I've said before, the author is gonna do what the author is gonna do regardless of if those choices make sense in a 1:5 universe or not.

The positions are switched, sure. But male brain and mating strategies doesn't work like female brain and mating strategies. This is super convenient for men. Women are only dominant in number, not value. All the men are receiving all the offers, so men are truly the dominant sex. If everybody wants you on their team, does that make you the dominant player or is everybody else the dominant player except you?

This is not how a 1:5 world would work, every woman and man would need to pitch in for reproduction while women also need to be the ones to keep the few men they have safe, there's no time to be picky and choosy like this. They need to run things, build things, legislate things and they need to be the one ensuring they have the advancements and technology to push society forward. In a world skewed 1:5 there's very little chance any man would have any say in how his reproductive abilities get used.

"Treating people like equals" plays into the bias of shifting fault to men, thus fulfilling another female fantasy: innocence & victimization.

Again, this not functional in a society built off 1:5. Women would have to be the more responsible ones because they've got the brunt of making society function. So the ability to be "Innocent" and "Victimized" just wouldn't exist for them. Either you suck it up and help or go somewhere else. Society wouldn't have the time or ability to tolerate lifelong victims. I say this because our societies throughout history wouldn't put up with it even when we had a surplus of people, I can't imagine how little patience they would have putting up with it.

So mc is basically an equivalent of those "kind to everyone and popular girl" lol
