why does Japan keep designing more and more pathetic male characters
its only ok if they develop like in nagatoro but usually they don't

The whole point of this manga (like several others from this author) is centering around a troublesome girl messing with a guy's feeling.
In that way, the male lead HAS to be simp and pathetic to allow this kind of plot. Better look this manga with such an angle, cause the female lead is actually very funny with this.

That's totally different from the stupid rental loser we all know where the point is supposed to be a romance.

that's an intro hook at best, not a story. it has to develop from there to be a story. that requires the mc to develop and man up, or else it's bad & not true to life & human nature

you can have SoL or whatever with little character development, but you can't write something like this without character development, because a dynamic like this just calls out to be resolved, it can't just keep going, that's fundamentally unsatisfying, like a melody that never resolves.

Long stretch but just from design of the woman and how she acts, she might not even be what she seems. She seems more vampiric than human and this might be a Tonikaku Kawaii incident (If you read ahead in the manga, you'll get it.)

Also reminds me a bit of Call of the Night

Do you really think mc will develop in these type of mangas?

Saying she might be an escort just for being next to a loser was rude as fuck from that couple. They could be family or something ffs
Still, I wonder what her game is :thonk:

"We should get to know each other before going on a date"

The F? What even is this logic? What does he think a date is? Is that just a bad translation?
