Honestly, this manga had a lot of potential.
It started off quirky, but it was really carried by FL. Not only is she cute but she has all the charisma in the world.
I have no way to confirm this, but in my head canon, this ML is the reason this manga got axed. I fucking hate him.
And I’m not even the type to hate all MLs that are weak/inexperienced. I like Seto in Yancha Gal and really enjoy Naoto in Nagatoro as characters. It’s not about his archetype.
What bothers me is that this spineless twit is being so arbitrarily annoying. He’s talking about 1-2-3 kisses and limits and “I’ll increase the limit when we complete our homework but just for today”. “Do I like you” (yeah he admitted it at the end but still). Just act like a somewhat normal human being. The FL is pushing you in a way that you admit to yourself that you like, just be honest with your feelings and things will actually go smoothly. The hesitancy at the beginning of the manga made sense. But now you committed to dating, you have her living there, It’s pretty awful seeing her show her affections in a very straightforward and honest way (she hasn’t teased this dude once!) and for then still see him acting like an idiot that doesn’t reciprocate -> For god’s sake, hug the girl back.
