how does one dump someone with a happy grin on their face

 

[dirak]

@hecc_itsme dude's a total incel, i'd be terrified he'd do some crazy shit so smiling is the best way to try and not upset him

 

[JayJay_Tracer]

Why tho? Just use a dating site. Nothing wrong with that.

Page 26, 2nd row of panels, look at the right side, behind the mum & her child
I forgot their names, but that's basically the only Hajimete no Gal cameo I can find

stupid mc

Holy shit!
She was actually a complete cutie afterall! O_O

And here I thought she was plain and boring for most of the chapter and then she shows up with glasses and braids... <3

To be fair I'd totally recommend setting the review back to 1-star after this for deliberately uglifying herself for the pseudo-date.

... Waaait... I've got a bad premonition about this. Usually when this happens, it is trying to create the opposite impression... and the super cute glasses and braids get phased out over time for a more permanently boring, generic look... =(
Please don't let that happen!

WHOLE EPISODE IN 1 CHAPTER? HMMMM.... CORONA QUARANTINE WILL BE FUN

 

[iamthinking2202]

As someone who came from the anime, it seems the bed scene was added in the anime, and they also shuffled around the statement about people having holes in their lives

 

[krisandrie]

Mc is such an asshole

 

[Randomguy01]

I was wondering how this was popular, but then this comment section wreaks of fish.
Sexbots when?

 

[Randomguy01]

As soon as he realized her real personality, he should have swallowed that redpill and cut his losses. The story need continue to further.

 

[Kamikoto10]

Obviously the anime added scenes, but i am really surprised that they added her mum knowing she has a "bf" cos that literally changes everything............though it'll 99% happen in the next few chapters i guess and they just rearranged it

 

[hina_sw]

She's right though... it's her job. Those anons (including MC) that badmouth her for doing her job... good grief 🙄

I complete agree. Megane + Braids are an instant win. I see so much long, straight, black hair in this country it's beyond joking, and people seem genuinely afraid to wear glasses. Carbon copy fashion reigns supreme in Japan. There are some people with a cute short-hair look, or braids on occasion though, that's a nice rare sighting.

I'm a little torn on what to think of the MC in this introduction. It's wrong to label him as an incel, because he's just had bad luck in his first relationship, and is still rebounding when he met this girl; incels tend to have personalities that make them wholly unqualified to be in any healthy relationship with a girl. Admittedly, it was completely the wrong thing for him to enter into a deal that, considering his state of mind, would only lead to more pain: the girl is professionally adorable, and any guy in his position would quickly fall for her.

Ultimately, this MC has some glaring flaws, and he's still immature, but he's not a bad person at heart. The girl also seems to have a few issues, and much deeper than his. I'm going to go ahead and guess that they are more alike than they realize at this point.

 

[maruftim]

one chapter and I already hate the mc lol

 

[Rogojinen]

The type of guy to insist to know the real name of a stripper or escort, like dude just enjoy the service you paid for and don't make it personnal for no reason, you're not friends.

 

[lrregularity]

This is... actually good.

 

[Weebnewbie]

[Mahoushani]
