@bastek66 Mate, you seem to be up in arms for no good reason. Don't tell me you actually consider this good writing? At least give me an actual solid argument in favor that it is, or what readerbase it fits in with. "Doesn't fit for WSJ's readerbase", for one, feels completely backwards because a manga doesn't simply get published in the industry's most prestigious and competed-for magazine only for editors to realize it didn't fit it to begin with. They make mistakes, and often show dubious taste (like in this case), but they aren't the idiots you take them for. If a writer decides to take the series in a direction that doesn't fit the magazine but the publisher considers it good enough that it wants to still be in charge of it, the series is transferred to a more fitting magazine under the same publishing house. In some very rare cases it has to resume publication under another publisher, and more often than not there are extenuating circumstances involved, such as magazine refactoring, policy changes, personal conflicts, and so on. This is because publishers don't easily part with properties that bring them money. If they have any way to put that property to use, they will. This is business 101: don't waste your assets.
Going back to this series, since it seems you will keep @'ing me trying to deny everything I have to say about this dumpster fire, guess I'll have to be verbose with this. Trust me: I'm no prude. In the past 30 years I've read a lot of manga and actual books, seen all sorts of porn, and have been in relationships with people; dated women, lived with them. Even dated a writer at some point. Ecchi elements can be good when done tastefully and not just put there to make one character look cool or another one flustered to provoke a salacious grin from the reader. I'm well past the point in my life where I can see when a writer has no fucking clue how to write characters that make sense, or sexual situations that feel good to read or be in. I'll humor you with a breakdown so you can see how laughably bad it is right from the start.
Male protagonist: a creepy musclehead and a streaker who would go for a woman's boobs a few minutes after they've met, and then proceed kidnapping her for his own selfish purposes—all against her will, of course. If you're a guy—which I suspect you are—imagine going around your business, already feeling down because your life is a failure, and this lovely lady suddenly starts forcefully grabbing you by the cock because she wants to die and you have just the STD she's vulnerable to. Grabbing not in a way that makes you feel good, but the way that makes her feels good. You'd probably disagree, but no-one's asking you. Bet you'd want to be around a person like this! Although you'd probably be the first to report them if you'd seen them in real life, let alone letting them grope your reproductive organs. And the fact that somebody with such psychopathic tendencies is walking around in broad daylight is already a more unrealistic premise than all of MC's "superpowers". His only "redeeming" character trait—and his only one, in a way—is that he gets what he wants, morality be damned, which is a huge hit with timid virgins who wouldn't know what to do with a woman even if she asked them to (Japanese demographic problem number one, which I alluded to in my first comment), so they can at least get their vicarious entertainment from seeing somebody else live out their wet dreams. His motivation is to die, and by all means he is such an asshole that you want him to succeed asap.
Female protagonist: a depressed-but-not-really girl (that's not how depressive people react) who is clearly distressed by the situation all throughout the chapter, but is so easy and codependent she sides with her kidnapper once he trims her bangs. Until he starts coercing her into sex once again, at which point she decides she'd rather not and runs away Looney-Tunes-style, which is oh so comedic (seriously help, I'm dying of laughter here). She has no agency and no identifiable stake in this mess because even if the male protagonist succeeds in dying using her abilities, that doesn't help her situation one bit. In fact, it has only become worse because she is torn between a creep and men in black, either of which may well turn the rest of her life into something she neither wanted nor asked for. She is not a character at all. She's a fucking boring, passive, talking plot device.
So, since you seem to be very defensive about this series, please tell me what you like about these two or how they were introduced, how you relate to them, how you envision their development (each on their own and as a pair). Go on, give it your best shot. Just don't give me the canned "wait and see" response because there hasn't been even one manga on my memory that would've been garbage at the start but ended up good. That just doesn't happen.

Pretty fun, so I'm def down to see where this goes
>person writes pretty concise, if a bit smug, breakdown why this manga both morally questionable and without hope of future improvement
>Too long, also you suck.
Moozooh's text fits less than a page, surely it's not too much to ask to read it?
