Basically, an image is being built up that it was right for her to break up with him. History doesn't show him to be good at anything, or at least doesn't stand out academically or in terms of relationships with people. I honestly don't like it.

Why would he be good? He's obviously inexperienced.... That shouldn't be a negative.... She was doing well because she was a fellow girl...

Are you saying that not being a playboy is a bad thing???

And it was right to break up because he's not a perfect person??? It shouldn't be about a guy being perfect but instead them being a good match for each other based on interest and taste... And how well they deal with each other...

A thoughtfully written flawed, unredeeming MC vs this blank slate of a stock template MC. Why is this even a question?

I would be pleasantly surprised if the body swap was revealed early on and the love triangle had to deal with it in a real way, that's an interesting story.

Right now we're at low tier romcom, I give it a light 6.

That's your personal taste for a protagonist...

But as a dating partner, he's actually not that bad. I feel people are being too hard on him right now. He's a noob, so of course he'd do worse than a girl who understands other women....

Plus, did you notice that he was actually kinda nice to a girl that he thought cheated on him. And he did reflect on himself when he realized his plans weren't the best...

Jfc I just checked this author's other one shot and it's about a chick being in love with a guy who became trans and she does his hair and shit..... Now I feel this is setting up the same crap in a roundabout way. Fuck, I even hate the premise on this one but I really like the art. Wish they'd drop the freaky friday gimmick

yea the only reason lemon winged the clothes is because she couldnt talk about the magazines she saw Kogahara read.

Wait wtf, I went to read it in Japanese and her name is actually 檸檬 (read as レモン)!? How much do her parents have to hate her to name her that? It's not technically a kirakira name but why not go all the way and just name her Lemonade?

Y'know, since there isn't any story progression between the witch and Sunao, at this point, Im just gonna head cannon that stupid fake NTR never happened for now. I guess thats the only way I can at least enjoy spending my time readin this series.

That said, I can understand why Lemon doesnt want to follow his plan sheet. I mean, is she supposed to cram all those contents in matter minutes lmao. But, I actually find her throwing it raite away kinda disrespecful. I mean she couldve folded it very small if she wants to hide it in his bag. And wouldnt it be interesting that after the date, she re-reads Sunao's plan sheet throughly and realizes just how much thought and care Sunao put for Kogahara. Maybe she reminisces again about their time, when Sunao really cared for her leading her to regret her actions back then

Another thing I want to add is I like how Sunao in this chapter is reflecting on his plan's flaw instead of jumping on to Lemon and scolding her for not following it

With him and Lemon acting so different, she will eventually figure out something is going on. Lemon acting as herself is inadvertently setting him up to succeed short term and then fail. If she followed his planning the personalities would be more consistent to who he really is. Now the MC's only chance is to act like Lemon or risk getting exposed.
