Otonari-san no Gyaru ga Boku wo Hore Sasetakute Zenryoku Sugiru - Ch. 3 - I'll Definitely Make You Fall For Me!

As much as this is probably intended to be framed as a stupid teenager being properly immature for their age and doing stupidly cruel things because of it, I don't think the outcome is worth stomaching ngl. Like, the gall he has to blame everyone in being put in this situation of feeling guilty and having to run to check on her instead of being mad at his own actions speaks a lot to his character. It's just spineless, and it's hard to see how the manga turns it around in a satisfying way unless they make a character arc about it... But given the tone and pacing of the manga it's just hard to see it happening. I don't trust that I'm going to like the next chapter.

Oof, these comments....

This scene is set up to demonstrate that MC is a considerate person, crucially, even toward someone with whom he doesn't want to be involved. What's more, he's willing to help others, even strangers, which is how he became acquainted with her in the first place.

Also, can we please leave out the "this is not how I would react in my imagination, so this guy is lame" ad hominem attacks from the discussion. Calling MC "dense" suggests that we (the readers) can understand his feelings better than he does, which is as indefensible as MC questioning the authenticity of someone else's "love at first sight." And finally, let's not pretend that MC can reason with a girl who's determined to violate his boundaries and views "friendship" as simply a means to get closer to him romantically.

That said, MC's best (least worst?) option here was to avoid the problem (i.e., her) and hope that she loses interest in him; that's exactly what he tries to do. However, he's evidently doomed to fail due to the good nature of his person (helpful, considerate, etc.) and the fact that she's already devoted herself to said person.

P1: either "she's telling me to sniff" or "it's her telling me to sniff", no?

I am so sorry for not catching some typos, it was really late my time during the translation and typesetting, the first page has been reuploaded and thank you for reading.

So when he's sniffing her why is he comparing it to his sisters as if its normal to know the smell of his sisters as such

Why are all male manga MCs lame and gay

It's 2026, why use gay as an insult?

 

[Sylphex]

Man, the first chapter started great, but now the guy once again seems to be a total wuss.

Eight siblings and no room for personal space.

I wasn't aware that not explaining to a girl why you can't date her and just leading her on, then proceeding to lie to and run away from her and only go to check on her because you feel guilty was actually being considerate! How wrong I was!

 

[PallasToyo]

Absolutely L mans, bro is in the D tier of gyaru romcom mcs

 

[IblisTheEvil]

Mc is stupid, but i hope main heroine is virgin.

 

[Rowdy91]

"Lame, pathetic, pussy, gay".
Ok people, think about this situation again, but with the genders reversed.
Now we've got a pushy guy rubbing himself all over this loner girl, despite being told no.

Oh, what's that I hear you typing as a reply? "But it's a romcom, hurr durr."
So what? Romcom's can't have the guy be uncomfortable? He should just go along with any girl that expresses interest in him?

It's always the same thing in the comments for series like this, it's so friggin predictable.

That’s MTL trash for you… The pronouns are wrong in a lot of places, that’s a telltale sign.

I would say its a telltale sign that whoever used the MTL was to damn lazy to verify/correct mistakes and just gone with it.

 

[NerimaShinjuku]

“Wow, these tits smell nothing like my sisters’ tits!”

What the hell am i even reading

 

[dcdfvr]

Eight siblings and no room for personal space.

That is not how that works unless he is always actively conscious of his sister's smell which would bring up more questions than answers

 

[InCnnuyWeThrust]

Dont blame the characters, blame the authors or maybe even editors + publishers for being too virgin

 

[Phantommemorial]

Idiot of the highest caliber.

 

[MiguelH224]

He's so worried about this "rule" being imposed on him......yet how tf would his dad have any way of knowing he got into a relationship?? Bro just don't say shit about your relationship to him??


Then again that all just comes off as an excuse for him when in reality he's just a coward

 

[MiguelH224]

And what…ruin the plot? Because being reasonable doesn’t add chapters

If adding logic or reasoning in a story ruins the plot



Then that means the plot was dogshit to begin with

 

[MiguelH224]

Its rare for me to hate an MC so much I'm actively rooting for him to get NTR'd. FMC just needs to find a new guy thats both kind AND has a backbone. Plenty of guys can fix a bike without being insufferable.

..........I think you're in the wrong manga bud


The fact that you mentioned "fix a bike" instantly told me the manga you're actually referencing
