I would 100% choose her and just have a good peaceful rest of my life. Butttt I know the story won’t go that smooth
Buddy that wouldn't go smoothly irl either, that type of emotional dependency is not healthy in the least bit, all the weight of her trauma/issues are gonna completely crush you


No matter how much you wanna believe so, it's not worth the trouble at all

That is one of the most dishonest representations I've seen in a while lol, well done taking that one page entirely out of context. You're obviously not posting it in good faith, but whatever. The MC calls himself a loser for never having a girlfriend, and she then suggests that they date (maybe not totally seriously, but that's irrelevant). Then she says she was joking after he freaks out at the suggestion, right before the panel you posted. Explain to me how you think that is manipulative.

Most of the stuff like this she says can be interpreted as her being genuinely interested in the MC, testing the waters, then playing it off as a joke (albeit a bit awkwardly) when he gets obviously freaked out by it. Again, take the MC's inner thought completely out of the equation and just look at what's actually being said. In fact, let's boil the exchange you took spectacularly out of context down to the main points of what was said:

"I'm a loser"
"Even if you're a loser, you're still cute"

Oh yeah, real Machiavellian psycho right there, most manipulative shit I've ever seen.
Lmao this response is a 10/10

Meanwhile main gal was calculative and toying with him since the beginning. I'd consider both girls being manipulative, the difference here being that one is doing it in bad faith while the other is not. The actual best choice for the MC is to sever ties with both because of too many red flags.
Gonna need valid examples of Azusa manipulating him? Only reason you see it that way is cause MC is that much of a coward who constantly puts himself down


He's the issue here not her

You know he's 100% gonna fumble, he's gonna say yes like a dumbass


A real fumble is him not going for Azusa and instead choosing the emotional baggage in human form

I said in one of previous chapters that this MC looks to me like typical porn manga cuck - a dude who will watch his girl being stolen and fucked by someone else, and instead of fighting he will come to realization that the girl got a better dude to care for her, and worst case scenario masturbate to the NTR happening or even worse come in his pants without touching his dick as such strong cucks exists in doujinshis.

I got a lot of confused/dumb reactions, and yet each chapter I am kinda more and more sure that this is who this MC is. A School Days ending is possible, but not because he becomes an asshole player who fucks anything that moves like MC in it, but because his spine is so flabby or non-existent he will end up in bed with anything that moves around him and touches him the right way - till those find out about themselves and the fucking and murder MC.

I recall one NTR porn manga - where MC had so little self-esteem that he literally ignored his childhood crush to the point of making her cry and begging him to talk to her, when they had an summer vacation - he run away to the countryside without even saying a word to her, and she had a club training camp, at which a sempai who likes her pursued her, she realized that wasting time on that spineless cuck just hurts her mentally, and she gave herself and the "new guy" a chance. New guy loved her including in the bed of course and the epilogue is MC seeing her happy with her new boyfriend who he felt inferior towards, and in his wide wisdom he decides to move himself even further apart from her to not interfere with her and her new boy love. Which to a certain degree is kinda really a gift for her, cause his beta/cuck behaviour thus far was really hurting her.
Yea that's a manga I'll be avoiding like the plague

Having gone and re-read this, I've realized that Azusa was never messing with the MC in the first place. He literally psyop'd himself into believing that she's somehow manipulating or toying with him.

If you re-read the series while looking only at what's actually done and said out loud (i.e. ignoring the MC's inner monologue), you'll see that she simply enjoys spending time with him because they both connected over a shared interest, and seems to see some kind of value in him that he himself doesn't.

What I wonder is if this will ultimately end in a mess due to the MC's own spineless ineptness, or if he's got some other kind of (less realistic) outcome in store.
This! This so much it hurts!

I really think the whole point of the this manga is the insane dichotomy between the way that the intended/expected audience is reading Azusa as this terrible scary yandere and doing their utmost to interpret anything and everything she does in the worst possible way, and the way that she's actually acting. It almost feels like the author is sitting there smirking at their readers, occasionally sniggering while they (we!) keep falling for their tricks.

Except I suspect that's being totally unfair to the author . . .

Because manga of this type are aimed towards teenager or even adults pretty much are like the MC, shut-ins or those that are seen as "outcasts". This way, they can self-insert into the manga and imagine they are the MC and girls are throwing themselves at them because they're "nice guys". Reality, of course, is much different and so these manga serve as a method of escapism. It's why the MC is pretty much always some average guy with average looks, never had a gf, has a weird/cringe hobby, often has friends that are uglier than him to make him stand out and the girls fall for him because he's "not like other guys" or he was kind to them once 5 years ago, shit like that. This is pretty much the standard for shonen romances.
I'm pretty sure this manga is explicitly and consciously playing with that trope - it's inviting that "standard" reader to self-insert and read things in a particular way, framing the two female characters very carefully so that they'll trigger a particular set of emotional responses, while the actual on-screen reality of it all is completely inconsistent with any of that.

My suspicion (hope?) is that ultimately this is going to end with something that resembles a salutary lesson in how not to fuck up like the MC has, probably done via even more subverting of tropes and the expectations of readers. It might go darker, though . . .

Yeah, how dare she... reads notes ...get hurt, and talk to him about it?
Yeah, how dare she... reads notes ... tries to act possessive... reads notes... towards a guy whom she just met through screen... reads notes... and guilt trap him to date her... tears note...

Bro if one day a viewer of a vtuber, who literally fantasies over a happy life with them, stalks them then forces them to be their significant other, by guilt trapping, cause they somehow 'knows everything about them' through screen, and now owe a date with them. Do you think the VTuber will be like "Oh you deserve a date, you honey sweety pie", no! You will get this:-

Your other comment takes a single quote massively out of context and ignores everything that was said before it. You have yet to give any examples of actual manipulative behaviour.

One of the dumbest takes I've read on here lmao. She got hurt because she was acting like a fucking parasocial stalker. I assume you've never dealt with somebody who acts like that, but she is 100% unhinged and would likely fuck up the MC even more than he currently is.

Ty so much for having common sense, imagine trying to hit someone with sarcasm and the shit you said ends up coming off as braindead


I agree 100% that was a dumbass take, as if that person believes that unhinged/insane people don't exist outside of manga

HE IS THE ISSUE NOT AZUSA, END OF STORY


People are "spamming" the same thing cause YOU fail to understand something so simple, this is a you problem


If you're not gonna bother to full grasp what you're reading, then don't bother making stupid comments cause this is the exact response you'll just get hit with

I'm coming to the conclusion that a lot of people on this site just don't really have a lot of life experience, and have never actually met somebody who acts the way Amatella does. The warning signs are immediately apparent to anybody who's seen them before.

Those same people think this is what they want until their own safety and life gets absolutely threatened, then they're gonna shit their pants and go into hiding
