Does anyone like watching a sweet, kind hearted girl, who will get their heart broken, have this fleshed out Story line? They always add a "Second Girl" who you know will never have a chance, at best they'll have her hook up with another side character after getting her heart broken. They are used like cannon fodder, to absorb the bullets of anxiety and rejection and to make the MC realize their "true" feelings for the Main Girl.

I call this Manbagi Syndrome.

Its kind of insane how often this happens

I'm pretty sure "pair the spares" is a long standing romcom trope.

I think the cool dude likes the FL

Tadakoro at least seems to have his tsukkomi skills down pat.

At the least Manbagi found love with Wakai, that is better than most who just continue to pine for the MC.

No, sorry but no. Whatever bullshit they did to cover it up, whatever sloppy seconds she ended up with, it doesn’t change how they handled it whatsoever. I can’t explain to people what it’s like reading things live.

You can’t put a month of “what ifs” as you wait for the next release, I can’t explain to people what that feels like. Because if you read it after the fact, it doesn’t matter. The confession is instantly resolved, but if you read it live, you have a month thinking of all the amazing things that are to come from this blossoming relationship. A month thinking that finally the other girl won.

And to watch the author just scribble it out and go nahhhhhh, after thinking for a month it would happen.
