No, I can see Sasugas kino for how great it is especially because Im not a shipper. you wouldnt get it.
I see that you are a man of culture, you enjoy the story and the mess that is going on instead of rooting for a waifu and complain about the story not going for her.

Oh, you are a shipper. Explains the taste in writing. This shit is right up your alley.
Tbf it's not about ship bias or not.

I had the audacity to reread Domekano (i'm now on ch70 out of 276) and can tell Rui was being foretold to be some sort of rebound for Natsuo. Yea, there could have been very conflicting feelings for her because she was his 1st time and she was the 1st to show affection towards him despite of starting at odds due to Rui being an antisocial, but the pattern was always that Rui was some sort of rebound or backup plan for him and him trying his best to see her as just an imouto, and having his moments of deviation because she was his 1st time and men are horny and such. But from what i'm seeing with clarity, the thing was that Natsuo was always more of a simp for Hina and was too eager to become an adult so she could take him seriously (a reminder Natsuo agreed to have sex with Rui because 1st he got rejected by Hina and 2nd, he was desperate to become an adult), despite of the fact that she was engaged with Shuu at that time and him and Rui had a hand on their breakup. My opinion can get expanded further as i resume the rereading.

Domekano's spice was the telenovela romance, but the core theme was Natsuo having to learn the hard way what does mean to be an adult, given he was the hotheaded type of person. And it was waaaay more than just being 18yo so you could rail your hot teacher and become le NTR bvll.

Realistically, based on their agreement when he moved in, he can’t return to that share house. He broke the agreement and so did Lili, but they’re the only people who know that (for now). What’s changed is that another girl also confessed to Hiromi, in front of the group. Even though he gently deflected it, everyone knew what it was. So how can he go back now?

He either leaves or they have an open polygamous relationship with everyone in the house.

Well dam, that’s a pleasant surprise; last time I commented the path seemed set in stone not just because of all the content surrounding Lily and the other girl (the rich one) also seemingly coincidentally having her own progression away from Mc (unfortunately since I hated Lily and she makes every scene worse ngl) but now I can cling onto some cope

Some cope that an actual good FMC wins it

This obviously can't go anywhere because it would wreck the whole central conceit of the theory. So it just makes it more obvious that it's just "for the drama" or as a stall tactic before he probably does something dumb like go right back to pining for Lili (and i say that as someone who actually liked Lili at the outset.) so I just can't bring myself to give a damn or even be intrigued/excited for the idea that he's actually giving a relationship a shot. Because we know damn well he's going to get into it, then screw it up and break her heart because he needs to go back to the unhealthy obsession that he was trying to get away from in the first place. And honestly I'm not sure I could get behind any of the other sharemates either because almost all of them have some aspect that I dislike.

I think I'm done and am tapping out.
With this author, it's best not to be invested because she'll just pull an ending out of her ass down the line that doesn't align with pre established relationships and whatnot.
Essentially, the best way to read this author is to go right to the comments after reading and laugh at the Trainwreck.
However,it's obvious that you respect your time more than me, so it's probably best for you to leave anyhow lol

Fuck this shit. This is Sasuga's payback for everyone who talked shit to her about the ending of Domestic Girlfriend. Everyone one of the heroines is going to fuck some dude to get over their heartbreak. In the end MC will only have used goods to pick from.
The MC is so dense and purposely written so bad you're better off rooting for the girls to find anyone else. A doorknob would be a better match with the girls than Hiromi with anyone lol
He doesn't have any introspection past the chapter he's in. It's hilarious.

Great, Hiromi is about to ruin another relationship. Why? Because he still can’t get over Lili. He spent most of this date thinking about her instead of focusing on Nonoka or the date itself. Jumping into a relationship right now feels like a slap in the face to all the development he’s had since coming to Wakayama. It’s like his conversation with Yakuri never even happened.

Yet here he is, getting ready to start something with Nonoka without being fully invested in her as a person. I just don’t see this relationship lasting. It’s not going to end well. Maybe if the writer intended for him to stay in Wakayama, it could have worked, but that’s clearly not the case since we know he’ll eventually go back to Tokyo. So why have him try to start a relationship now?

Between the previous chapter and this one, there are still a lot of unanswered questions. And while I’m not a fan of him reminiscing about Lili, I can understand it to some extent. She was the person he was just in a relationship with, and he saw her not too long ago, so it’s natural he’d still feel something. But using that as motivation to jump into a relationship with Nonoka makes no sense, especially after all the growth we’ve seen from him in the last few chapters.

But It is what it is. I just see this as a quick crash and burn because the MC is once again being set up to not learn from his mistakes. That’s just my opinion.

I tried to like your comment, but a new page popped up instead:

yeah you cant fool me, she will say she noticed he wasnt himself/thinking about someone else and this will lead to her being written out of the story

nice try Sasuga
Personally, I thought she would react that way at the end of their date. But then she goes and kisses him!

Sasuga, Sasuga Kei

(Still, there's a possibility Hiromi's proposal might set her off. No eye contact, a slumped over hug....)

I get the impression that Sasuga's stories are best when a reader doesn't get attached to a particular character and knows to simply enjoy the messy, drama process and not get invested on a personal level.
I agree. I've said before that this manga lives in the meta-layers. It uses three layers to build up to it.
