Make Heroine o Katasetai!! - Ch. 22 - Manaka Kawashima Wants to Take Your Hand!

[Dreqm]

Lowkey didn't expect how this chapter went. They just fully exposed all the secrets, addressed how Kimura viewing himself as a "side character" is self destructive, and Manaka taking a step towards her relationship towards Kimura. Author absolutely cooked here.

Holy aura god damn

Man got put on blast and I'm here for it.
I don't bother with the artist or author in the slightest. They're telling a story. This story is not released in any format where westerners can support it. So if I see it being released in english I'll buy it and throw it in the kindle pile.
Glad to see the author is cooking.

‎Message from the author to You 🫵

And from the Artist

The message in the artist's picture is spammed twice and says in spanish
"What the hell do you want to do with this story?💀
The MC absolutely has to end up with Manaka, like, wtf bro, it's obvious XD
And honestly, I don't understand why Manaka is so obsessed with Ei, like ???😭
If the MC doesn't end up with Manaka, this work is going to be the worst piece of shit in the history of rom-coms, fr💀🔥"

Gosh darn it of course they gonna send messages

It's actually interesting that there's a commentary here about main characters that are overly selfless and that see themselves as characters in another people's story.
I can't for the life of me remember them, but there are at least a couple I saw reading mangas every now and then.
The craziest part is that most of the other characters just take these MC's at face value, they go all "Oh my God MC-Kun is so selfless and brave!" but that's where it ends... Cool to see that we're trying to think deeper here.

I mean I don't mind writing hoodweeb, niqqer, negro or nignog. I'm just being nice about it.

You have to admit though that the portion of the western anime "fanbase" of a certain concentration of melanin has a tendency of brigading authors/artists for perceived slights on social media.

Unless you mean white guys and their low concentration... then no because that's a racist whining point to gatekeep people out of fandom. Which is hilarious because I am old enough to remember when the same cucks now talking about this tried to white wash tons of strongly Asian characters by claiming the art styles at the time were definitely just white people or why not yellow peril joke features? I have seen far far worse out of my fellow entitled Saltines than any of our more melanated siblings. Your comment being a wonderful example.

This is another great example. Thanks.

Wow, self-hating white boy over here demonstrating his lack of racism by calling a chinese man, white.
You people are a joke for completely different reasons.

 

[Shaggyrand]

All your performative vice signalling is sad, man. I guessed and I still think I guessed right but if you think my missed guess is some moral victory, good for you.

For future reference, "self hating white man" isn't a thing, all straight white guys love being straight white guys. The only people who use it are the idiots who fell for dickless cuck manoshpere grifters who tell themselves they are alpha while jerking off to men's health magazines.

The way Kimura behaves, it reminds me of a Web novel I was reading last year. The way he treats himself as "expendable," sees himself as someone that is only there to ensure that each of the characters that they support is able to get the best possible ending for them and sometimes sees themselves as outsiders to the group (e.g. when they were carving their names into the desk, Kimura was surprised that he was included and there were other examples throughout the previous chapters) makes them really similar to each other. I'm interested to see why he behaves in such a manner, downplaying the compliments he gets from the rest of the cast, which funnily enough, is just like the MC of the Web novel I talked about.

Of course, if anyone is interested, here's the link: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/16817330655692681590
