At first, I thought this guy is a dick (excluding his OP skills). But then this princess appear, makes me want to know what kind of plan he has for the princess, hahaha
The way he still chooses to be a mob character is kinda funny. Seems far fetched though. Since he's still the main spotlight no matter how hard he try to be a mob character in the end he's gonna be some OP mask guy who protects the princess in the perfect time.
@onitada I think your mistaken about something, if you ignore the inner thought of the mc, it will turn into a generic seinen manga. Both his action and speech when he was in "shadow mode" was edgy but appropriate when you think about the situation he was currently in. Without the comdedy, it was like an edgy manga you can find anywhere with a "kill or be killed" scenario. The comedy was pretty much something that was unnecessary to the plot...but it was the charm of this, it would turn into an action manga with a heavy mood when necessary while also being a comedy manga
Not the twist I was expecting, but it was delivered hilariously, and I really like seeing characters other than the protagonist and antagonist making their own plots.
