This is adorable, but it's getting to the point where I almost feel bad for her, she's basically directly confessed to him several times and this dude has the lowest self esteem/Is the most clueless person in existence

I know denseness is generally hated in MCs, but honestly even after all these years I find it enjoyable. To a point of course, and depending on if there's a reason they're are dense, like in this MC's case a lack of self esteem. I'd also assume a general lack of communication, considering he'd have to go out of his way to always be the one to start up a conversation because nobody even notices he's near them.

I like this MC cluelessness, as if it was natural, not pretending

I think because it ends up being frustrating, whereas in this case it's just nice fluff, and not much miscommunication based drama is happening so far. And he's just a shy young kid so it's more understandable

I wonder if they'll ever show why she fell for him in the first place...

I think part of what makes Shiraishi's density endearing instead of annoying is that, rather than getting mad at him for it, Kubo seems to enjoy toying with it. That way it lightens the mood and makes the story go forward, instead of stalling the story and making the audience frustrated.

(Another part is his circumstance, since he's almost supernaturally ignored it's not completely unreasonable.)

There is a big difference between stories like this where the main character being dense is understandable given his personality and background and he overcomes it with character development and stories where denseness is only used to keep the status quo forever. Plus, the fact that the main heroine isn't a violent tsundere who beats up the protagonist every time he fails to notice something she refuses to make clear in the first place helps a lot.

It kinda is his fault. Sure, low self-esteem and all, but with how much they've interacted already, you'd think he would entertain the idea that Kubo might give him some chocolate even if just to tease him.

I would accept it if he thought it was just obligatory or friendship chocolate or something, but to not even suspect Kubo, the only person in this school who consistently notices and interacts with him, is a bit upsetting to me. It would be easier to buy if he didn't have this bunny girl senpai-esque curse of his. Maybe he should wear weird costumes too to get people to notice him.
