We joke but it must fucking suck to find out your friend from when you were a kid grew up and started doing porn or onlyfans or shit like that. Obviously gravure is nowhere near as bad. Even worse if you had a crush on them
dunno why many, probably traumatized and very young, people link everything to ntr, but i at least agree that these indirect, roundabout "romance" stories are really annoying. if either side is too inept to fucking confess, then just move on. you don't like her in your home, kick her out. the end.
then the author can focus on the other couples.
People are gonna go and try to spin it as him just being insecure about himself, needing to man up, and thus being at fault for not confessing, and deserving having to put up with her transgressions like inviting herself into his apartment and teasing him while knowing that he likes him but doesn't feels to be in a position to do anything about it, and shoving on his face the fact that she is becoming more and more popular with men
But that's unfair, and very toxic of her, specially more with the undertones that part of all these things she is doing are to give him jealousy and force a confession out of him, instead of taking the lead like a normal person and confess herself
The idea that all of her teasing were her giving him the go ahead, and that he should have taken a hint and have been more proactive, is a bad take, and this manga reuses it for almost half of the couples, but this one is the worst one so far
And you really have to ask why she never actually considers his feelings, even developing some cuckolding kink in which he can only nut to her magazines, and while weird, i guess that will somehow work for them, yet it is clear that he doesn't likes how she keeps breaking into his time of rest in order to tease him, but he is putting up with it because after all he is just a childhood friend
In other relationships when the couple already knows before hand that their partner was a member of adult entertainment, it is fine because there's mutual understatement and consent
But in here the dynamic is completely unbalanced, she is just expecting him to one way or another go with her whims, without any consideration for him and what he is dealing with, and the guy has a lot of shit he has to deal with, his dreams of becoming a pro baseball player failed, he ended working a low wage paying job, that focused on manual labor, and when he gets to relax, he has to deal with his crush bragging to him about her life, and then people expect him to grab himself by the bootstraps and take charge somehow
