I remember somewhere in the mangadex forums someone asking if shounen romances where being seinen-ified, and I retorted that, from my perspective, seinen romances were being shounen-ified.
This manga is probably the best example for my argument. 33 chapters in, the protagonists completely alone in their apartment, after a bath, and absolutely nothing happens. Even shounen romcoms are more daring than this - they might at least have a lucky sukebe moment, some lewd hand-holding or arbitrary fan-service. Meanwhile, FMC keeps being more passive than a Escape from Tarkov extraction point camper. FMC needs to hand over her adult badge. Her romantic skills are still kindergarten level.

Well, I expected nothing so I’m not disappointed I guess.
She did nothing except confessing to him while he was sleeping, and I guess he was not faking it so he really didn’t heard her, so he won’t become aware of her now either. The entire situation is on her, he has been clear about his feelings, she has to do the work to get closer to him.
Well maybe her saying aloud her feelings to him for the first time maybe unleashed something in her and now she’ll be more daring, who knows
And I know I said all of that but this story is still way better than rent a chorizo :pepehmm:
Thanks for the translation

Knowing him, he heard her and just went "Aw she's so sweet, what a nice little girl"

Or he heard it and just thought that there would be no way anyone would ever actually love him. The guy has some sort of emotional baggage that hasn't really been explained in depth and until he can get over that they won't get anywhere.

Sure, she needs to be a bit more proactive, but she also needs to toe a fine line so that he isn't put off or make things awkward at work.

I thought it was explained? He used to be married, and he thought the best way to support his wife was to work extra hard and bring home the bacon. He ended up working so much that he was never home, and she divorced him. He decided to change his work ethic to "Hakuna Matata" and that he would never date again.

Can we get to the backstory of the Manager already !? The one that explains why he always needs to put himself down !?

I hate how people in seinen romcoms are in their mid 20s acting like teenagers and blushing over slighty touching their crush's hand by chance; despite both of them already having sexual experience.
That last bit doesn't apply to Misato here but still is infuriating seeing so little progress.

A lotta big talk when people are forgetting that she's staying the night at her boss' home. Imagine confessing to someone, getting rejected, then having to still not only stay the night but wake up and spend the morning with them. And, on top of that, there are the concerns about damaging her work relationship with him.

Addding on the fact that he considers himself unlovable and intentionally ignores the signs that she's into him, and you essentially have a novice going into a game blind and starting on extra hard mode. We can only hope that this doesn't turn out to be Malenia levels of difficult.
