Nibanme na Boku to Ichiban no Kanojo - Ch. 4.1

[Haze123553]

it's gonna be pretty hard to self-insert once you know Satou's backstory, but really the author wanted Satou and the rest of the characters to be seen as actual people living their own lives with their own problems instead of a wish fulfillment self insert character

Can someone minor spoil why he's different than a self insert? Curious what y'all mean by that

really like it when the mc actually have friends and it's not just something something trash something something

It's difficult to self-insert as an orphan who had to make the decision to pull the plug on his little sister. Not impossible, but difficult.

Jokes on him, I exclusively self insert with well rounded characters that actually have a personality, hobbies and a social life before meeting their love interest!

Without spoiling, I'll say there's one thing in particular that makes him hard to relate to. Btw don't read the spoiler above this comment

He's not a loner, he's secretly a normie! I can't self-insert!

 

[Saybah]

The gall on Aizawa dude from previous chapter thinking he's better than MC

How is he in the LN?

while Hajime and Chinatsu resemble their Ln counterpart Shinji and Kana look quite different. personalitywise though he's the exact same as the LN. also the clothes they wear on first appearance is different. Also it's a 2 v2 as Shinji and Hajime team up with each other instead of playing against each other, with Shinji telling hajime to show off in front of Chinatsu but he also states he'll show up Hajime because Kana is also watching.

Ooooohhh. You meant in appearance. Given it's an LN I defaulted to there being a difference regarding his characterization.

Perhaps the mangaka wanted him to more convincingly fulfill that "delinquent" look.

Oh damn!

As an aside it does tickle me that a self insert is seen as someone that's supposed to be basically boring af with no actual redeeming qualities outside of being passively pleasant in manga with no real emotional baggage.

My God, MC isn't some traumatized kid but is mature enough to have his personal life and work/school life separate from each other. Say it ain't so

Thanks for the tl!

I found this today and got to see there are no more chapters yet 😭. Really enjoying their dynamic. The pacing is good and we get to see both of them as full characters, not just the guy. Definitely looking forward to learning more about his situation and why he lives alone
