But seeing as he is overcoming that, hopefully the heroine would eventually fall in love with him instead.
So? I still don't like her...
Take the Female MC here. She's a hormone addled Teenager and the central premise of the manga ensures we only really get to see her when she's on her period, ie when her already hormone addled body kicks it into overdrive. And she turns into a bladed nightmare monster in a process that I'm sure is quite painful considering the manga seems like it is going to work toward not just ignoring all of the possible side effects. Remember for instance how she needs to dispose of the iron spikes she grows after they fall off.
On top of that, she's dealing with the very real threat of losing her life if someone finds out about this. Given the crazy expression that teacher gave and the fact that the other girl literally just up and disappeared after talking to said teacher, her fears are pretty damn justified.
Plus she's a Teenage Japanese Girl, and I've read plenty of Shōjo manga where the plot boils down to "guy gets incriminating or embarrassing photo of girl and blackmails her into being his slave" and the guy in question has been established as a bit of a sex hound, so her "ecchiness for secrecy" bargain actually makes a scary amount of success.
MC: TROLL SUCCESSFUL.
Judging by how things are going he'll likely help her out next chapter by taking the attention off her so she can get away without being seen...however at this point I actually want something like, the girl manages to get herself out of that bad situation without his help and see how it develops from there.
She's been having that kind of problem for quite long, so why begging for help from the MC now? And if you don't want to be exposed with that symptom, you must be aware that being in a large crowd is the most dangerous thing to do. Yet she's looking for help from the MC now of all times?
Also I just can't bring myself to like this heroine. AbyssalDemonX and Mr. Late also seems to have the same point.
