The same characters of this manga, “Ponko Tsundere na Osananajimi”, are also in (and pardon my use of slang) an ova manga: called “Ponkotsu Ga Tensei Shitara Zongai Saikyou”. Both are made by the same author.
This manga, like “Aho Girl”, has a dumb girl acting ridiculous for the purpose of comedy and some romance. It is set in the real world. In contrast, that manga, set in a fantasy world, has all the major characters acting ridiculous for the purpose of comedy; the romance is a byproduct.
For this grounded manga, unlike “Aho Girl”, it does not forget about social rules. This means that the dumb girl is perceived with our interpretation of mental illness and thus socially illiterate. That is a hard sell for most to laugh at or give favor in her pursuit of natural selection. Growth of character is also absent across the volume to adapt mentally for additional trials. Some perceptions denote her digestion of romance as a “love quest” in the vein of a notorious internet celebrity named “Chris Chan”.
I’m speculating, but I think the reason this manga is still ongoing whereas that manga is canceled is due to the bindings of society. A harem cannot workout long-term for child raising, family/community acceptance, and tax legislation in the presets of most developed nations for contemporary 2016 (when it was released). This manga has a tension of sadness regardless if rooting for one girl or another and that conflict among a comedy creates more readers (though, I am not a fan). That manga is in a fantasy world and thus regardless of only being with one or many, it is more based on choice rather than purely default selection; perhaps that’s a reason less people are enthralled with it.
Furthermore, people may enjoy a balance of fantasy with realism rather than fantasy “turned up to eleven”? That manga has gore and battles. At most, this manga has none of that. Additional information on balance includes an uncanny valley. For instance, if Kazuya from Rent-a-Girlfriend was placed in a sports baseball manga or Hitori Bocchi into a dark suspense mystery, would you expect either to do well? I do not believe so. Likewise, placing characters from 2016’s this manga into 2018’s that manga creates unease for certain fans.
I believe these are major factors for the ongoing of this manga versus the cancelation of that manga. The change of setting, the character interactions, and the rules of the genre all play interconnecting roles to success. It is hard to ignore the perceptions of either manga. While I do not see hope for this manga, I did see hope for that manga, prior to cancelation. However, the people as a collective who purchase the series, especially in the country of origin, have “spoken” and deemed that hope a falsehood.
