@Meskie ehh, I still kinda disagree. There's holding back romantic tendencies for a better context, then there's outright friend zoning someone that you may potentially like.
He's a good MC, great even. but hes still got a bit of thst old fashion harem genre denseness.
Imagine her 20 years older. Wearing the cougar outfit as a [][][][]. Oh that is what her sexy mom wears ... look forward to see MC visit Hanako @ home.
@deCarabasHJ oh yes, that particular type of mc usually annoys me, glad he takes initiative.
@raze2012 I disagree. I think the author knows what they're doing. This mc has thoughts behind his actions while typical harem ones are just usually duds that the girls just follow around and somehow like for some reason. I must confess, here in the beginning I thought he was a typical harem mc and I almost dropped this but as I kept reading, I noticed how he developed in just a few chapters (not what you get in most harem). Plus the story isn't stale bcuz both the boy and the girls here actually have true character 🤧
Though, it's still too early, this may crash and burn on all of us later or soon 😅
