Oh sure make the self sufficent and self motivated female character completely worthless weak and in need of saving so the male character has a chance to show off some macho nonsense, bad copy paste plot, I blame the editor.

 

[winterume]

OHOHO THERE'S MISTER NICE GUY

i know your fragile masculinity is at deep rock bottom bud

 

[lesseffective]

Killing intent eyes / aura incoming?

Being a web comic I doubt there's even an editor to blame in the first place.

Sleep can have effects like that, so while I agree it's a weak (ha!) reason, it's also at least tenable.

I'd rather believe there's a shitty editor than the author being too lazy to make a real plot... No matter how unlikely.

 

[maelstroon]

Really tired of this exact scenario being copy pasted in almost every romcom, why even do this?

 

[testableneptune]

while you nerds are sweating over fragile masculinity and other dumb shit, I am rooting for Rookie-kun to be the cool guy.

 

[Nexxurio]

Big reveal next chapter. I mean... I think big, I don't speak japanese, but I looked at the raws, and it seems big...

 

[athros]

is it time for his SUTANDO to get some action?

[Nehona]

... this is really shitty development.
Come on, why do we need the would-be molesters or whatever in every such manga?

"Let's molest the pretty girl in broad daylight in a trafficked zone". Suuuure.
Come on author....

 

[blablablub]

Of all the tropes, this one is the most unnecessary. Especially in this particular manga.

 

[Eighty-six]

I found her sudden weakness funny, especially since I expected her strong "begone" at the start of the chapter to work. It came rather close to lampshading the situation, I thought.

Beyond that, it seems like too much effort to get too mad at this kind of development.

Oh sure make the self sufficent and self motivated female character completely worthless weak and in need of saving so the male character has a chance to show off some macho nonsense

As if women don't appreciate a man that can throw down for their sake...

I'm sure this manga is oriented towards men, and I've seen this genre of scenario set up better (but in more serious serializations), but all that means is that this kind of scenario has universal appeal.

 

[Duribu]

You see in Japan every woman has sex with random sketchy dudes every day because even strong willed or powerful women just stutter and mumble unless a plucky love interest is around to save them.

 

[Bones-dono]

This shit is some type of canonical event

 

[potatoawards]

the fact that this specific scenario happen on every single fucking romcom is extremely annoying, and doesn't develop shit

 

[Sagara-Sousuke]

My guy has the crazy eye

[WillTell]

never understood this trope of just dragging off a woman in the middle of the street. You'll just get kicked in the balls and then sued for assault

 

[InsidiousIntent]

Ah, the "defense from douchebags" trope. It's timeless, and typically "harmless" thematically. Though to be fair, it's application has an incredibly wide range, from very brief and minor, to near rape/death... Personally, if the usage matches the "tone" of the manga, or contributes significantly (tends to happen with the more extreme end of the range), the overly cliche nature doesn't bother me. It's a LITTLE random here, but it's purpose seems relatively transparent.

As ever, thank you for scanlating.
