Maybe it’s just me, but the cliché of a girl falling for a guy after she gets nearly assaulted by a douchebag is so overdone. Even the author explicitly points out how the guy’s main personality trait is that he’s “way too nice” to the point of seeming like a pushover, and he would have been incredibly forgettable had he not intervened.

But, you don't understand, he's incredibly unique. And not like basically every other mob-protagonist in romcoms ever

"You have such a short temper that you have a reputation for it, but don't be upset or that'll make you a bad person."

"Oh geez I'm so sorry, I'll never get angry at being rejected again. Now I'm off to adopt some puppies and help an old lady cross the street."

In reality MMC would have gotten sent to the dirt fast. If the guy truly had a reputation for a short temper then some stern words would have done nothing.

Shizuma's point of view is that he's forgettable but that's due to her not actually knowing him. We would need other people's perspective to actually confirm that MC is in fact a background character.

While the reason for her liking him is contrived. I do like that the MC reason for intervening wasn't random happen stance but his knowledge of the boy having a temper and seeing the potential confession going badly. That his personal moral compass made him follow through on his hunch.

Maybe. But if the MC was willing to eat a little crow / was a little funny, he could talk the guy out of it.

But I'm not certain how well that would impress the girl..

"The boy" is my favorite character. I hope he gets his own spinoff, that'd be pretty cool I think.

SCP Generico-kun, he wears many faces, but across all manga multiverses, his traits remain the same.

Black short hair, an aura of pheromones that brainwashes females, a powerful mental shield that deflects all emotional attacks from would be mates, and reality bending powers that shape the world around him to allow the most convenient and impossible outcomes.

Subject's only weakness is noise cancelling fireworks, and trucks.
