Kasanegasane no Hatsukoi Desuga - Ch. 2

[Hmmmmmmmmmmmm]

Im already sad, he can only choose 1. Now i usually never do this but maybe monogamy isnt so bad

 

[Insev]

Wholesome backstory goes into plenty of detail showing MC is a good guy without ill-intentions and we still have cringelord commenters saying that he's a groomer

fr, bro even tried to turn himself in

 

[Swegcat]

I bet this guy is going to get NTRd by at least one chad in the highschool.

He is the chad

100 girlfriend lite is what it feels like rn but I also predict it will go the way of 100 girlfriends and go a harem route. MC seems capable enough of handling 4 brides and the girls are all really close to each other.

 

[kingarthur020500]

The girl with her hair covering one eye is the best

 

[Este074]

Isnt this just 100 girlfriends, wish this came out sooner the designs go crazy

 

[Kuroku]

while I like the premise this is just gonna get stretched over 300 chapters and have either an open ending or have him miraculously marry all 4 so I've seen all I had to

Or don’t forget ends up with either the first girl he met or the tsundere

 

[Kuroku]

The girl with her hair covering one eye is the best

A sleeper and a foodie, id have to agree

 

[harukuro]

He reminds me of aijou kentaro

 

[Kaldin]

Bokuben, I agree. However, TWGOK has one of the worst ending ever for a harem story. spit

I'm still upset that Chihiro won.

 

[fform]

if mormonism didn't already exist the japanese would have to invent it

 

[THE_REVENGER]

Bro is rentarou in another time line

 

[MrJerk]

100-kano vibes

 

[LoliLover852]

Certified Loverboy, certified...?

We shall see in the last chapter. The girls in love with him but he doesn't feel the same way. He can't make them un-love him.

 

[Saybah]

We Blue Archive now

 

[Wachtail]

Don't know if this'll be cultured degeneracy or peak wholesomeness...
But I'll take it.
Black haired girl and smoll girl are best so far.
Thanks for the translation!

I don't know why but I just can't get into these type of mangas anymore. Not sure if it's because i've just grown up or became disillusioned. Now i'm not saying that this manga is bad or whatever, in fact it is very cute and decently executed for its genre. I'm just ranting to the air assuming no one will read this.

Spoiler: inane rant/dissection of genre

The first thing that stops me from being immersed in a work like this is the seemingly unrealistic affection that the girls give MC just because he was nice to them in the past. In fact many of the mangas aimed at men have the girls falling for the guy because of his nice actions and personality. But the matter of fact is that if you were to read webtoons or mangoes aimed towards women, you'd see the guys are all tall, good looking, charismatic, fashionable, etc etc. The personality (or rather how nice the guy is) is secondary to the man's appearance and wealth/power. In fact if the guy is bad (or gave a bad impression) to the girl initially but then suddenly becomes nice or acts tsundere, then the girl falls for him. BTW this is NOT a blackpill rant and i understand attraction is multifaceted and not just based on appearance alone, but my main point is the fact that manga aimed towards men give us a false picture where "if you are nice, then you can get the girl".
.
I am not ashamed to say that growing up reading mangas and using it as my source of social interaction led me to believe this very idea. So now that i've grown up more and shown a clearer picture of the real world, i can't help but feel like works like these, while very enjoyable, lead men astray as a side effect. Not only that, i feel like this genre as a whole preys on lonely young men who don't receive much affection from women outside of family. Because if you really look deep enough into it, all the heroines in shounen mangas like the MC unconditionally regardless of his wealth, abilities, or appearance. In fact, all the MCs are made to be slightly above average in terms of personality, wealth, ability, and appearance, just enough to dodge their work from being too unrealistic. I understand that it's part of the genre and self inserts are what allows us to enjoy this piece of fiction but wouldn't consuming such media day in and day out warp our sense of reality even just a little?
.
Also, by creating lovable and cute (fun fact, these two words in english are encompassed by just one word in japanese/chinese '可愛い' but i digress) heroines, it allows lonely men like us to pour our love onto the characters and in doing so we feel love. Why do we feel love? because love involves being loved and loving someone, giving and receiving. So by investing in the characters and loving them, we partake in half of love. The other half, however much, is given to us when we self insert into MC.
.
Don't you guys find it funny how both women and manga (aimed at men) tells us that personality matters the most when in reality there are some prerequisites in terms of material and physical before personality even comes into the picture? Of course it depends but i guess my main gripe is with the fact that the advertisement tells us in big letters "NICE GUY GOOD PERSONALITY" while in small text the terms and conditions/eligibility says "certain level of wealth, ability, and appearance required. oh and also being nice is boring so..."
.
I guess all I'm complaining about is that i would've worked harder on these other aspects if i was told this from the get go and not focused so much on making myself (appear) "nice" and expect the world in return.

 

[Lordgigachad]

Okay I like it

 

[WeabooExtract]

Megu had the worst promise, ergo, by rules of the shitty cliché, she's gonna win.

Lately I feel like I'm seeing a resurgence of old-style harem and romcom stories.
Pretty glad to be honest, while I enjoy stuff that's unique, not every story has to be a deconstruction or stupidly wacky to catch attention.
