Nuh-uh, don't let the coder character touch Your Reality

Why is there existential horror in my romcom?

 

[Lunkli]

This story is like all those oversimplified archetypal conflicts at once.

1. Man vs. Nature: Okay, I've honestly got nothing on this one. Pretty terrible way to start this off, but whatever, this is the most boring conflict type. Just read the rest of these. (If someone can come up with something good here, I'll edit this.)
2. Man vs. Man: Hareta wants to romance Misaki, but Misaki wants Hareta to romance one of the heroines.
3. Man vs. God: The world is specifically designed to push Hareta towards one of the Heroines, as evidenced by the flower-changing tree. (By the way, I really hope we get to see the Misaki version of this at some point, with like water pouring down from its branches to represent the water spring.)
4. Man vs. Society: Misaki probably does have feelings for Hareta, but can't express them because it's not "how things are supposed to go."
5. Man vs. Self: Misaki tries to get Hareta together with one of the heroines when he's actually in love with Hareta himself, but he hides this deep within himself and pretends like he doesn't care.
6. Man vs. No God: There is no god to grant Hareta and Misaki their miracle. The world is the way it is and (seemingly) nothing can change that.
7. Man vs. Technology: They're limited by the confines of how a "Gal Game" is meant to work. This is a very technological concept. Also, more metaphorically: The world has the potential for change (as seen in this chapter) yet Misaki is trying to keep going in the same direction as always.
8. Man vs. Reality: Reality is structured to make Hareta and Misaki getting together impossible, yet they try to fight this.
9. Man vs. Author: The author here being the creator of the "game" they live in, which has designed the world to make Hareta and Misaki's relationship impossible.

Middle school English class comes in clutch once again.

If your confession is getting garbled then the game you're in is directly pulling from the system-level character encoding, and you're already in possession of a trivially reproducible way to force the game into undefined behavior. You guys are already hot on the trail of a potential exploit to enable arbitrary code execution; now is not the time for a test of courage.

This is assuming that senpai's motives are in line with the protagonist, though. Hareta wants to find a way to bug out the game so he can flip the bit that says "No Touchy Misaki" from a 1 to a 0, but senpai might be angling to Rowhammer the host machine and destroy their whole fucking universe.

You coders speak in a strange tongue.

Cease before you release the literature beast.

Can someone try to decode the corrupted text?
It definitely looks like it was generated by corrupting actual text.
The last time I saw corrupted text in manga, the author had hidden real text behind it (RTA Sousha wa Game Sekai kara Kaerenai).
In fact, if you view the page I linked, it shares some characters with this one.

This chap screams Angel Beats! way too loud. Man I miss that anime.
