Don’t know how yall can read this, but let me break this down how bad this manga is. The mc is a loser who folds under pressure easily only time he draw the line is sex but everything else is okay ig… wanted to change his life but couldn’t then got a gf cheats on her the first week truly pathetic. I thought he was going to get a redemption arc but his own bully gets one before him like how?? Then there’s his gf who has ex problems which is crazy how do you confess your feelings to your crush then in the same day when you ex pops up you try to tell him you have someone else you like now then he goes on and kisses you in front of the boy you like then you suddenly stick out your tongue and started to kiss him back for a second then realize what you’re doing then goes on and cry about it saying you didn’t mean that and shit like I know she’s doing way better than the mc but still it’s crazy. Then later on they kiss for the first time and guess what they didn’t feel anything of course they didn’t now they want to know each other more but I just saw the raw chapter of 70 and it ends with them going into a hotel like great job whatever writing this you just ruined it if they actually go in there. Because the mc is small and won’t satisfy her like her ex which she clearly can’t forget about after so many years. then the writer might just make the mc go back to his bullies and the girl to her ex (I doubt she would but she would probably move on) this manga is stupid and horrible only way to maybe even make it a little better is the mc and the girl having amazing redemption arcs. (I highly doubt the mc will get one since he’s one of the worst mcs I ever seen)

NTR probably won't happen, if that were the case then Moka would have gone with her ex after Ueno lost his match against but she still chose Ueno.

Likewise if NTR was really being setup then Ueno and Moka would not have communicated so perfectly this chapter.

I think the author is for the most part, playing this straight, full blown NTR is too extreme for this series.
The author might do the ntr but for the mc ofc chapter 70 ends with them both going into a hotel after admitting they don’t feel sexual attraction to each other and probably will try and force it but it won’t work. (I see the girl whatever her name is moving on and actually finding another boy instead of going back to her ex but can’t say the same for the mc he’s too lost atp)

I like how he doesn't even question that she seems to be half-way aware of his situation. Maybe he subconsciously knows that her situation with her ex-boyfriend was similar.

Sure, the possibility is there but I just don't see it happening.

What was supposed to be yet another ero manga ended up being the adult in the room where people actually properly communicate - a lot of manga couples can learn a thing or two from them.

At some point I want to see a bully redemption arc too: not necessarily for them to get to a point where they will start dating Ueno, but maybe at the very least, be supportive of Ueno's relationship with Manaka and become proper friends in the future.
I think a main difference here is that a lot of Manga that are fetish based tend to hardly question the nature of the fetish or if is wrong, they tend to attract the crowd that likes it and doesn't to be told how toxic its nature is, is very unexpected to see it move that way, when I saw the first chapter I thought it was hentai.
