You're misconstruing reality with how it bad it looks from an outside perspective. Lili knows Tsubasa is a drunk flirt but it doesnt mean she doesnt feel hurt watching her boyfriend feel up another woman. Imagine the bitchfit Hiromi wold have if he walked into Hodaka ontop of Lili and they just throw the "he's drunk excuse
Now, can you point to anywhere in my last response where I said Lili wasn’t allowed to feel some type of way? In fact, my only response on this topic was that Tsubasa was the one who forced herself on Hiromi, not the other way around. She barged into his room, drunk, trying to make a move on him, and grabbed him. But what hurts your argument is that Lili was next door and heard the entire conversation. She literally heard Hiromi say, Hey, we shouldn't drink in here—maybe we should drink in the living room. That’s him actively trying to turn Tsubasa down.
But hey, go ahead and stick to your own notions instead of what actually happened in the manga. Hiromi never tried to make a move on Tsubasa and fully understood why Lili was upset. Lili was allowed to be jealous, but she also recognized what really happened. She knew Hiromi wasn’t making a move on Tsubasa. She knew Tsubasa entered his room without his knowledge. She knew Tsubasa was drunk. And when she opened the door and saw what happened, she immediately understood it was an accident. Even though she felt jealous, she acknowledged—out of her own mouth—that it was an accident.
You can say the same thing about Hiromi potentially dating any of the other share house girls.
Yeah, you could make that argument, but you’d actually have to support it with facts. However, nowhere in the manga does it show that Hiromi has feelings for any other girl in the house. Sure, he might blush here and there, but when does it ever show that he actually liked someone?
Outside of Chika, the only person he genuinely liked in that house was Lili. So again, even if you wanted to make that argument, you’d be dead wrong because the manga itself disproves it. In fact, the manga also supports the idea that if anything were to happen between Hiromi and another girl in the house, it would only be after he and Lili broke up.
So once again, the manga itself proves your argument false.
He's quick to fuck up and quick to apologize but nothing ever changes with him. He was already the same jealous bitch in ch36 and then he does it again this ch. The man never learns.
So wait, you're mad at Hiromi for taking accountability? And then you turn around and call him a bitch? So does that mean Lili is a bitch too? Because she was also jealous. The manga clearly showed her jealousy—that’s what started everything in the first place.
But now, all of a sudden, when Hiromi gets jealous and actively tries not to let it consume him, he’s in the wrong? He watches people he’s close to compare Lili and Hodoka as a better couple, and he’s not supposed to take offense to that? The problem here is that he had every right to be jealous. And you're mad at that?
He apologized for what he said—because that’s what real men do. I don’t know where you’re from, but if you say or do something wrong, you’re supposed to take accountability. Yet, somehow, he’s a bitch for doing that? But when Lili gets jealous and apologizes, you don’t call her a bitch? That doesn’t make any sense.
Yeah cause Lili totally has been making moves on Hodaka.
Not once do we see Lili show any interest in anyone other than Hiromi but our harem manga MC cant help but flirt and fantasize with all the sharehouse girls
Now, this whataboutism you’re trying to pull doesn’t actually help your argument—I’m just being honest with you. You might try to turn it around and say, Oh, well, what you’re saying isn’t helping your argument either, except everything I’m saying is literally supported by the manga itself.
To go further, never once did I say that Lili was making a move on Hodoka. Not once. But the fact that she slept over at his house? That’s a big red flag. Whether they’re just friends or not, when you’re in a relationship, you should at least let your significant other know you’re okay—especially with everything going on, like the potential stabbing and a criminal on the loose. The person you claim to love should not be left in the dark about your safety.
Now, in my previous response, I never once suggested that Lili was making a move on Hodoka. If you can show me where I said that, I’ll admit you’re right. However, based on the manga itself, you can’t make that argument either. Because, again, there’s a time gap between Chapter 36 and Chapter 38 where Lili is spending time with Hodoka, and we don’t know exactly what happened.
What we do know from the manga is that Hiromi never made a move on any other girl in the house—never even attempted to. So again, trying to claim, Well, he never turned down Anju or Tsubasa—oh, you mean when Anju tried to get into the bathroom butt naked with him, made a move on him, and he ran out? That wasn’t him turning her down? Or when Tsubasa barged into his room drunk, tried to make a move on him, and he stopped her? That wasn’t him turning her down?
Are we even reading the same manga? Because clearly, you’re in the wrong for saying otherwise.
If Lili was actually cheating on him then sure. But from all we've seen nothing has been going on at all.
Every problem in their relationship has stemmed from Hiromi not trusting his girlfriend and instead trauma dumps all his insecurties onto Lili who's busy juggling school and babysitting her boyfriend's fragile ego.
That’s completely false. Hiromi did trust Lili. When Lili told him that she and Hodoka were just friends and that he had nothing to worry about, what did he do? He let it go and gave her the benefit of the doubt. Why? Because he didn’t want his jealousy to get the best of him.
But as time went on, things kept happening that added to his jealousy—especially when she spent the night at Hodoka’s house, her phone died, and she didn’t even try to notify him. Even then, when she came home the next morning and he saw she was safe, the only thing he said to her was, “I’m just glad you’re safe.” And he said it while looking depressed. She saw the worry on his face. But that’s not him letting his jealousy get the best of him—that’s him trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. That’s him trusting her.
It wasn’t until all the girls at the table started telling Lili that Hodoka would make a great boyfriend for her—how they make a cute couple, how he’s a perfect fit, how he emulates her—that things boiled over. Now, if you heard all that, on top of hearing people at the art exhibit say your girlfriend and her male best friend make a great couple, after everything that had already happened, you’d feel some type of way too.
The problem is, you’re trying to say that Hiromi let his insecurities get the best of him. But he was put in a situation where he had no choice but to react—and he still tried his best not to. You don’t see that as him trusting Lili? You don’t see that as him giving her the benefit of the doubt? The fact is, he was jealous—and rightfully so. He had every reason to be.
Now, should he have said what he said? No. And he knew that, which is why he tried to reconcile and apologize. But by then, it was too late—Lili broke up with him. And that’s fine. That’s good. This is the best thing that could happen to him.
He doesn’t need to be in a relationship right now. And honestly? He doesn’t need to be with Lili. If she was so quick to break up with him instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt—the same way he tried to give her the benefit of the doubt—then they don’t need to be together. And that’s okay.
Look, I get it. You and I aren’t going to see eye to eye on this, so there’s no point in going back and forth. But I completely disagree with you. And if you want to keep making up your own interpretations of what’s happening, that’s cool. Just know that the manga itself is basically disproving your argument. Every time you say something bad about the MC, if you’re not backing it up with facts, anyone can pick your argument apart just by checking the chapters, bro.
