Lame confession dodge.
"Considering the number ofrivals."
And the one next to him isn't one. Methinks they're not trying hard enough.
TBH it’s no surprise that Japans birth rate is declining if Japanese males are anything remotely like Saotome… ffs
Honestly, with all their scheming but never actually committing, it's not like they're helping. The more they do that, the more natural it is for him to think they're not serious.
Double down girl, repeat what you just said
Pull a Nino.
Either that, or he's afraid to commit to one girl since he knows he would get the other 300+ harassing him for it. Best hold out until graduation day....
That's a legit fear. There are some MCs who actually use that excuse, since picking someone will hurt everyone else. But at least they're aware.
Say what you will about Nino (the bitch, 0% chance at winning) at Quintessential Quintuplets, but at least the author didn't pull the "didn't hear you" bullshit.
Well, he did, but she wasn't having any of it. She properly understands that as long as the message hasn't been received properly, she's responsible for delivering it.
The Reason Takae's confession didn't get through is her own fault. Saotome heard her but the first chapter is the entire reason he thought he misunderstood her. Of course it would have been different if Yuna or Hanako confessed.
Probably the reason for most of his denseness. They never commit, so he doesn't think they have anything to commit to.
The best ending would be this dense motherfucker to be actually left alone since he deserves not a single girl shown so far.
As long as they decided to choose him, it doesn't matter what he "deserves". They deserve to get what they want.
