@CelticMutt maybe you are right but sometimes I feel something is wrong with these Jap characters, either they are "timid" to the extreme or "scumbags" to the extreme, they don't behave normally and most are cringe worthy. I used to like this but now I don't and like myself many people are going more for Chinese and Korean works because of that.
Are you telling me that just because they "overwork themselves to death" they think that women will just throw themselves at a timid guy who can't even say to a woman that she is "cute" or say you look good?
Is telling women she is cute taboo in Japan?
If what you say is true than Japan is going to collapse into itself and their male population is really sad. The women in most harem manga are throwing themselves at MC but the MAIN CHACTERS STILL ACT TIMID!
They act so timid that it makes women look like sluts.
Chinese also work themselves to death but look at their population *wink* the problem isn't about working themselves to death, the problem lies with Japanese society itself and it's over moralization of things that is creating a society of wimpy otakus.
