"Loyal Dog" is right. That's way too flighty a person who is clearly as ditzy as she is popular to go hanging every hope and dream upon like he's doing.

I honestly do not see things working out for him, at least in the way he wants. Especially because any relationship he could get with her is predicated on him being more of a servant than someone of comparable level in their dynamic. Sure, chances are it'll end up with them together because he's the lens character and she's the protagonist and they're the first two characters introduced—but that's a lot of work to be done making it seem reasonable.
(Unless that bunny toy flashback is actually her having feelings for him first, and then thinking he didn't reciprocate which is why she ended up with his brother, and all of this is a misunderstanding or some nonsense. Which....not really compelling, so I hope that isn't the case.)

at any rate, this being a "slapstick rom-com" though means it'll likely just play his feelings for laughs while she gets up to whatever hijinx she does and he suffers in the background because he lost before ever getting into the game. It's a reverse harem story to boot, too, so I don't see another romantic interest being introduced for him to make her look his way or anything and push romantic development in that manner, either.
Plus, again—"loyal dog".

Feel the same dude. Have always hated that soft wishy washy behavior.
Like, I can understand her not wanting to force the guy she cares about the most to marry her just because of her (in her opinion) selfish one-sided feelings... But isn't way worse to everyone involved to accept an arranged marriage with her crush's brother, if she doesn't loves him? It makes her look like a dumbass who still doesn't give a fuck about other people feelings as long as they aren't her best friend.

I like the MC and he seems like a realist for the most part but this whole premise just rubs me the wrong way.

She and his brother are engaged but she’s 15 and he’s at least 7 years older than her. They seem to like each other, sure, but is the older brother really not pursuing any women his age? He stayed celibate all this time? Yeah right.

Also, why isn’t the fact that the FMC is engaged openly shared? Instead she has to deal with guys pointlessly pursuing her. The MC didn’t even tell his friend about it.

Or is the fact that she’s engaged to his brother a misunderstanding and it’s actually the MC she’s paired up with?

Misunderstandings and BSS/NTR baiting is so overdone.

At least the MC isn’t another plain otaku introvert. He’s good looking, clearly quite fit, and probably has good grades as well.

I hope the MC finds another woman, or at least gets a female friend who makes that girl jealous.

Kinda doubt it; this is a reverse harem series where he's just another harem member. They don't typically get their own individual romances. Not saying it's impossible, but it would be a real blending of genres if it happened.
