Mental battles are starting inside him everyone, the moment we've all been waiting for will sooner or later come!
Nishino Tamaki, go for it!

Well, romcom. If author wanted it to be realistic, she should give up pretty soon because dude is a massive freak (yes i know it's OCD, people don't really care).as per usual, I am struggling to understand what she sees in him and why she is making the effort in the first place. It is an all too common trope that FMCs throw themselves at meritless MCs for absolutely no reason. I just wish that writers could come up with a somewhat comprehendible excuse for why the FMC is throwing herself at a pointless NPC.
Have to not noticed the change in the material? The rise of the simp? Japanese culture has changed and Manga is reacting. Yes, it is their culture and there is a level of acceptance, but when you are constantly being assaulted by unrecognisable character qualities, the frustration can leak out. I don't see how it is toxic to question your relationship with the artform as it evolves. It is debate, just because you disagree, does not make it toxic.As someone who has been reading manga for a long time, it's really sad to see just how the community has been evolving with the passing of time and started incorporating all the most toxic elements of the english-speaking side of the internet as a whole. Miserable people who cannot see anything but their own misery in everything they consume. You're not reading fucking Flaubert here, just take it for what it is, a cute romcom mongolian comic about two silly high-schoolers.
this is probably one of the more realistic options.Other factor is because it is unfamiliar to him. This made me think if in the future he would be able to enjoy a meal prepared by her when they grow proximity, probably living together?
I usually don't like to push back too much again people who are in the manosphere and spout incel rhetoric because on some level I understand where they're coming from, but by God, stop watching manosphere content and try to engage with people in the real world and more mature narrative. Even stupid tropey mangas like this are deeper than the kind of content that lead you to call people simps or NPCs.The rise of the simp?
The "manosphere" eh? Now who is being toxic? I'm missing characters like Miyamura from Horimiya, Yuuki Izumi from Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie and Sakuta Azusagawa from Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. We are hardly talking about Andrew Tate levels of male toxicity here, just ordinary high school boys. They can be quiet, introverted or even an otaku... But the current batch are such a caricature of spineless simpery that they almost appear to be unable to survive on their own in the outside world. Also, can you supply any evidence that my comment "alienates most people"? I can only speak for myself, but you appear to be confident that you are speaking for the majority. Must be nice...I usually don't like to push back too much again people who are in the manosphere and spout incel rhetoric because on some level I understand where they're coming from, but by God, stop watching manosphere content and try to engage with people in the real world and more mature narrative.

Even if you were right about mangas having gone in this direction, using terms like those does nothing but alienate most people from the discourse. And it's not even true. How long have you been reading manga for? It's been more than a decade for me and I assure you if anything the ones that didn't go mainstream were a lot more "simp"-like before. Rather what's been bleeding into it is the same toxic rhetoric with lots of mangas about guys being betrayed by girls and taking revenge by finding someone better, or acting as if the only good girls are those who are completely submissive to the MC, which is also partly caused by the rise of Korean manwhas which are nothing but the same endless repetition of cold, callous MCs whose only qualities are status and power and eye-candy vapid women with the personality of a broom.
It is toxic because you are the ones changing mangas in a toxic direction, it is not the other way around.
