Osoraku Kanojo wa Ore no Aniki wo Neratteru - Ch. 22

Even from afar, it's easy to notice a smug Houjou lol

To be fair to his fans, did you saw what he pulled at the start of this chapter? he climbed that pedestal

And is putting up work to remain there, he is just afraid of falling off, and to be fair, he climbed quite high, that fall is bound to be scary, oh shit is he J Cole but handsome!?

I dunno, all he did was stop a girl from falling over, ask if she was ok, and offer to take the things she was carrying in her place. It was a nice gesture, but he said everything in a completely normal way. Then that somehow turned into him saying “I could never let my precious honey carry something this heavy” entirely inside their own heads.

He was just trying to be helpful and nice, but their own imagination blew it up by several magnitudes, and now suddenly he’s a prince and flirting with everyone. And I feel like that’s pretty much the whole point of the chapter honestly, to show that this is probably what’s been happening the entire time, and girls have been turning his attempts to just be a decent, helpful person into that crazy high-level prince flirting.

I hate writing like this. Who just randomly talks about their feelings with a stranger?

 

[rabidporcupine]

He's propped up because he's hot (the most important thing) and because he deliberately fakes his personality all the time, so that he gets to be worshipped.
Since that's more important to him than even his brother, his bullshit is even more annoying. He needs to own it up and admit he loves the attention and fawning

Dude, pass me whatever you’re smoking. He’s just trying to be a decent, helpful, friendly person. We literally saw this in this very chapter. Then, when he’s in the privacy of his own home, he lets himself relax and goes back to being lazy and stuff.

Like, acting more mature and composed in public when you’re actually pretty lazy at home isn’t ‘faking your personality’, that is absolutely just normal behaviour.

oh, no. Don't pair poor rei-sama with the craziest of them all.

See here's the thing i love about this manga: it takes up familiar tropes (prince charming, swooning fans, gynophobia, smug pixie dream girl), plays them up for laughs, deconstructively drives home their logical repercussions, then reconstructs the tropes by giving us peeks into their inner thoughts that humanizes them and makes us better appreciate how they ended up the way they are, while still cashing in on the absurdity of the dichotomy (prince a slob in private yet still genuinely likeable, hardcore fan having perceptive empathy for both the prince and the downtrodden stepladder bro). The only character that have their inner thoughts still opaque is the FMC, and I'm looking forward to how the mangaka would surprise us with her depth of character beyond cute smug transparent playfulness.

What an amazing big brother Rei is!
And Hinagi seems to have seen this side as the first girl ever, so maybe she will get a more realistic view of him and manage to get closer to him than any other girl?

[disguised08]

[faaresemo]

I forgot what I clicked on and when I saw the first page my brain went "wait, we didn't click on a yuri oneshot did we?"

I'm upset with how many times this manga has triggered my brainrot lmao

 

[Lewd_Beast]

This has 10⭐ from me. It has really found its legs, and it is a sugar coma every chapter now.

[Kanayu]

the moment i saw it was going to be a chapter about rei, i knew sensei was cookin something wholesome

 

[jnzbtw]

i really like hinagi, shes silly and fun, hope she wins with the brother

 

[Carn109]

Bro loves his lil bro so much

 

[Senros]

Girly has the self-control of a Shaolin monk lmao
She kept her cool so well instead of fan-girling like everyone else. She has a chance with the older brother. If she plays the younger brother card well, she'll score

 

[telefonevoador]

Hmm... so it seems Rei doesn't know why his brother is the way that he is. I wonder what will happen if Rei ever finds out... I think the guilt might crush him.

Yeah, he doesn't seem like the person to deal fine with revelations like this
