There is nothing wrong with that tho.
Then again I practice Moral Relativism.

Nothing more cringe than the kind of reader that celebrates or has no issue with the introduction of female characters to obligatorily lust over the MC but loses their mind whenever a new dude is introduced.
I just hate bad predictable writing. Feels like the writer did not think this far ahead and just now realized mc has to pick a girl and readers might be sad about the other girl being alone. So we get a new character inserted 40 chapters in literally just for that. If I'm right and that is what's going down... it is very lazy and pandering. Though to be fair it could be from editorial pressure and not the writers fault, but that sucks too.

Eh... Wasn't really interested in a side couple. Keep it simple and progress main relationship which barely makes any progress

I didn't call it wrong, I called it cringe.

The only reason "second girls" are added in shounen romcoms is to sell more merch or because writers can't find any other way to progress the main characters' relationships, so what is even your point?

I wonder if the yankee will become a regular.
Anyway, I'd like to see some progress with the main heroine instead of artificially prolonging the love triangle.
Yep. They're building Shiori up but we all know she's drawing dead against Niina.

Thats not always true, there are some shounen romance that are well written and dont pander that blatantly. My point is bad writing is bad it doesn't matter whether the new character is a girl or guy.

The feeling is that the author has lost his way in his own work, he doesn't know how to progress.
in my opinion, he's regressed a lot; the MC and FMC barely progressed, full of bait because he doesn't know how to create a decent drama.
He included a third character (who is quite cool, by the way), just because, and everyone knows he's going to lose.
and now, apparently, a new male character? Not that I care, it was only one chapter, but it feels like a corrective

I think the author has some sort of allergy to prolonged conflict. The minor spat over FMC assisting the "tall & handsome" mangaka ended in like two chapters, and now they're setting the groundwork to end the love triangle.

Introducing an uncharismatic new male character to get chummy with the secondary girl so he can claim sloppy seconds is textbook for shit at best conclusions to love triangles in romcom manga. Komi-San did the same thing with Manbagi.
