There's a manga that does this concept(
here), and I'm not sure I want it to be that way; for the women left behind to always chase the MC as he moves forward, but never reaches him is a bit too much of a tease for me. Too much carrot, not enough stick. Especially when it comes to the romance. If it was something like the father/daughter reunion of
this series, that is about the most I'm willing to stand.
