-One stupid common antagonist think he could do anything on his own.
-One stupid girl who doesn't try to understand her childhood friends problem and think bullying is a joke
-One stupid mc who believe everything the girl say. At least he doesn't want to go back to that party, thats a plus.

Asu being flat chested is already a minus, but acting all entitled with Shion and defended an asshole like Iason are even bigger negatives. Who the hell would side with her unreasonable argument? In what universe is she right? I don't give two shits about that bastard Iason's possible hidden intentions, the fucking way he acts is unforgivable. And if he is so goddamn brain dead he lets some arrogant uppity witch bitch influence his thoughts, that gives him even LESS credibility. What Asu should be doing is apologizing for not doing shit for Shion, apologizing for her crappy party's behavior, and understanding why he won't ever come back, not ask him to return. She's disgusting. "I wouldn't have let him get kicked out" WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT IFS. You WEREN'T there, you were never there, and the fact you show up all of a sudden trying to act like everything is okay make me SICK. Out of all the women after him, you by far deserve him the least.

I haven't learned very much from manga, but what I have learned is that you should never, ever date a Japanese girl.

Ever.
FUCK ASU. Her design is cool but goddamn she’s such an asshole for siding with Jason. Really irredeemable. That was not a misunderstanding. And the MC just took it on the nose, Jesus Christ. I’m glad he at least firmly said he isn’t coming back. But man that really did ruin the character for me.

Thanks for the translation! Demon girl is best as always.

Background Thoughts
Different idea of an "ideal female" vs the West. Ideal is a woman who is possessive and will contest other women to get ML. (Consider the number of stories where there's a nice, not-so-aggressive girl contesting for the ML -- they almost always lose because they don't fit the ideal.)

Though another factor is whole "social reticence" where characters have to go through multiple volumes before they will admit they care about the other character. (Complemented by the "I waited too long to confess and thus missed my chance!" trope.)

Also JP is more explicit about the "If they guy is a good catch, then there's got to be a bunch of women chasing him." Hence from the female PoV you get "romance combat" i.e. the thrill of the fight to get the top man.

Single beauty/attrractiveness standard. The West leans much more towards varied beauty/attractiveness standards.

From male PoV, the ML gets a harem without trying. And has to be oblivious to it in order to avoid committing and thus cheating.

Herbivore man: ML is not sexually aggressive. Standard JP trope.

Of course, from plot PoV, the romcom plot is finished as soon as mutual love is recognized & committed.

As Applied Here
Always have to have a female member of the kicking party be against the kick because she's secretly attracted to the ML. (Here it's excused because she wasn't present at the time of the kick, and thus didn't get a chance to veto it.)

Harem building, competition for top male, oblivious ML -- standard tropes that work together.

Extreme possessiveness. West would (mostly) view that negatively, but it's pretty standard in JP lit.

Also, note that we have a standard childhood trio (2 boys, 1 girl) -- gives the girl the chance to have a mini-harem and play eenie-meenie-miney-moe with them.

Every one is getting angry at MC and Asu, but remember ... the one who wrote their character like this is the mangaka. We need to start blaming mangakas more openly so they stop writing dog shit like this.

Hey, can we make it a popular trope where the mc actually sticks up for himself, instead of letting themselves get walked over, gaslit, extorted, and all other kinds of bullshit? It’s obvious it ain’t just me that is getting sick of this crap. It’s making me wonder whether the authors all have some collective hidden fetishy kink of wanting to get emotionally stepped on like a stray dog turd on a sidewalk. I mean out of hundreds of back to back manga I have read or skimmed through, it’s feeling like it’s a 1 in 500 chance I’ll encounter a story where the mc actually goes “hey, they did treat me like crap, and they did actually say what I just repeated, and I’m not gonna stand for it!” I get it, there is a need to move the plot along. But this ain’t it. This is just a super frustrating and inconvenient story pothole that has shit flying everywhere in the journey car.
