Awful chapter. Seriously, she could have just turned him down and explained to him that she really is not interested instead of telling Sora: "Take this seriously" as if she had the right to order him around after he does everything to help her not piss herself.

She kept going about "what if we went out with each other" as if she believed she couldn't do anything if the narcissistic dude won and had to go out with him. I hate that anime cliche.

Seriously, Sora's role is just to not let you urinate, you don't even do anything to give back yet she acts like he should be doing it for her.

If she could just be more appreciative and actually give back to Sora, like cooking him meals everyday it would be great

Agree, but the moron had to taste defeat. Dragging her around from her arm...only a di*khead would do something like this, like she was his property, an object.

@emMeBi86 He didn't really taste defeat though. He had like 5 seconds of mild disappointment and was back to being confident and pretending nothing ever happened. This was a pointless facade predicated on a bad message. Nothing was accomplished and the girl stripped down to a sash for the entire class because everybody for god knows why decided to start humoring the asshole for once. I defended his character as harmless before but having other people take him seriously changes that. Fuck this chapter.

If someone kept going even when rejected, he could be labeled as a creep, she could just ignore him for the rest of his life and if he kept going, realistically, he'd just be a stalker

Secondly, this chapter was mainly made to show that 'average guy beats hot perfect dude who's just narcissistic' mainly to pander to the 'average guy' audience so we can feel like somehow we can escape our realities by feeling like we're superior to popular people.

I like this manga, mainly because I'm into all those romance stuff, and I like kind MCs who aren't obsessed with the female MC. I could not care less about the urinating stuff even though it's somehow a part of people's fetishes

I would like it to keep going, I never said I didn't like it, but this chapter just felt bad.

It would be better if it was Sora manning up to actually take the competition seriously, not the girl having to push him to take it seriously and accepting the terms that she'll go out with the winner.

I know she's supposed to be all cutesy and stuff but a little 'Fuck off!' even if it's in some kind of tactful, similar phrase would be appreciated

Every day. The chapters stray further from the actual point of this title

It's one of those chapters featuring that one character in the background who is probably not gonna get any meaningful screentime later on, only meant to develop one of the main characters (which in this case, is the reluctant Universe).

The "hot perfect dude" has been shown to be an unpopular idiot from day 1. He isn't that sort of character you're describing, even if he did serve as the foil to the "average" guy. Ironically, this was the chapter that showed his good side.

@givemersspls Actually the english part is left as it is in the original (I think, but regardless it's awful gramatically there too). I wanted to maybe make a note pointing this out but kinda thought it was pointless. My bad.

@jonsmith I'm talking about how this chapter, he was revealed as a 'hot perfect dude that was just narcissistic'. His idiocy comes from his narcissism and this chapter went on to prove he's 'hot', 'athletic' and 'intelligent'.

This was literally an eye opener since he can't be just an idiot when he easily got high grades. They revealed him as a hot guy who's just narcissistic, and this chapter pandered to that 'average guy beats hot guy scenario' where hot girls prefer the average guy than the hot guy'.

The other girls who weren't part of Sora's potential harem were already falling for the narcissist until he came back to being a moron on the end.

And he didn't show a good side. His painting was worse than the other guy. The reason he won was because the heroine made it look like his was so deep unlike the narcissist.

In the end, he was still just 'the average guy'.

@givemersspls

The point is, the girl could've just rejected him and if he kept forcing himself he'll just be labeled as a creep or a stalker and can even be made as a criminal realistically speaking.

Anime logic though tells us that they have to listen to the loser or winner even though the heroine could just politely tell him or even just lash out entirely to 'fuck off'.

It's like that scene in addicted to curry where the restaurant or something was burnt down by enemies but instead of just threatening them to pay for compensation or calling the police they asked them to have a cooking battle.

I know they're very different scenarios but I hate how anime characters always just accept these scenarios. If he kept bugging her, he's a creep, a stalker then.

Sora hating to stand out, is like the typical average harem main character schtick.

'I don't want to stand out', 'I want to live my life normally', 'I want to be like every average student'.

Not to say, I'm complaining, I'd prefer that rather than a flashy show-offy main character, but in the end, he did give it his all, but he still obviously lost and only won because the heroine said he won.

He has no points in him he excels at and was beaten in everything by the dude.

It literally is just made to pander to average guys feeling like they could be better than hot intelligent athletic guys.

"We're supposed to have the same opinion!"

Lol, that was the #1 thing I took away from this ch. Ppl (w/in the manga) call the asshole an asshole, but then completely ignore the assholity of these two female assholes.

@RizeUp I'm very sorry, the typesetter/cleaner has finals right now and is busy and that's why there is delay. I'll try to make up for it someday when I get some more free time.

The comments for this manga are so whiny. There was nothing particularly bad about this chapter. This entire manga is pretty average, and there was nothing unusually good or bad about this chapter, it's completely on par with all the other ones in its relative mediocrity. I still quite enjoy it, though.
