"That's a nice ass" indeed.
After the .5 chapter I want to see the main couple go into a love hotel... Have that dominate their relationship for a moment so that they have to figure out how to build a relationship on top of that... But I don't trust this author to be that good at writing people. And he might want to go for a slow burn. Or as some had said before in this thread, the author wanted to make a porn or a borderline H but he has to make a longer story instead and might have to self-censor to please the editors.
As for the girl, it's a weird choice that her eyebrows are in the middle of the forehead. She looks attractive when she's frowning or her eyebrows are out of frame. Her characterization and that of MC seems to be of normal, regular people. There isn't a story getting somewhere apart from when will they date.
100% agree. I get people just looking past what happened and appreciating the usual beach episode with her thiccened x10 for no reason, I could see myself doing the same BUT
the shift in tone the whole chapter and actually having them both physically assaulted and the MC not being there when the fanservice is cranked to 1000 for it to only be for these scum and a brother we don't know is a bit very incredibly questionable.
Makes no sense to me considering what this manga was- a story about a clerk and a regular. Author needs to get a grip, turn this into a monthly and draw the hentai they actually want to draw.
People seem to hate it when a series genre shifts. I'm okay with things like that. e.g. Watamote's Tomoko going from cringe solo protag to a pseudo-harem plot and beehive cast or Helluva Boss turning its A plot into Stolitz.
Given how little the story has going on, I wouldn't mind if some other couples and ambiguously lewd stuff or social drama, whatever, starts being added. Or if the heroine suddenly starts rants on how she does her stuff and the genre shifts to sex ed. lol.
There has GOT to be some manga committee out there that forces mangas to reused certain tropes over and over even though they know for a fact that it's overdone. Maybe to give them time to work on the main content of their manga? I dunno. Big bro shoulda crushed their skulls.
Thanks for the chapter
Editors or producers sometimes ask for stuff to be rewriteen to be "commercial," and authors often self-censor like that on their own. Mature and pithy stories in VNs have to be filled with anime tropes and fanservice so that they can sell a 90+ (?) hour novel that caters to what editors think it's the weeb audience. Systems can get you a consistent result without being directed by a small group of conspirators. This is hard for some to understand.
