... Not sure if trolling.
The rating and high follower rate enticed me, the description also sounded quite interesting.
But then what I actually got when I read it:
- Obnoxious **** MC, a mix between beta, annoying, and childish (about his hate for the girl).
- Mary Sue little sister (for what the chapters I´ve read)
- Boring side characters.
- Average to iffy art.
Is it the girl? Is the girl right? The blonde "yandere"(she´s not yandere) girl right? For that girl you´re willing to rate this manga like the best there is?
Did I miss something, enlighten me please.
1. I'm not even remotely clear on what your problem with the MC is. That he's apparently helpful and thoughtful? That he's willing to sacrifice a lot to keep his sister, his last remaining family member and someone he loves happy? That he holds a completely understandable grudge regarding a girl ruining his family's livelihood, who he thought was his friend but betrayed him (honestly, that you think this is 'childish' is really what made me wonder if I'm being trolled, because it's hard to believe people can genuinely be that ignorant)? Did I mention she also stalks him and persists in pursuing him when he's made his feelings regarding her clear?
Did you want a douchebag MC who ignores everyone else in order to further his own selfish desires? Or a weird, saint-like MC who you can do anything to and he won't dislike you?
2. 'Mary Sue little sister'. You know, given you clearly have no idea what Mary Sue even means in the first place, please try not to use the word and cheapen it, 'mkay? You're only showing your ignorance, after all.
3. 'Boring side characters'. We've had three chapters, and for those chapters the story's been setting up the situation between the MC, his sister, and the blonde girl. We've barely gotten to know the side characters, and even then his aunt is rather different (if something of a bitch).
4. 'Average and iffy' art? Man, that's the dumbest complaint I've heard yet. Unless any kind of art below what we see in the likes of Otoyomegatari is somehow 'iffy', you've pretty much got no ground to stand on. And frankly, if that's your belief, than you probably should stop reading any kind of visual media, because the art's not really going to be much better. And trying to spin 'average' art as a bad thing, when the art we see in these kinds of manga is already pretty high on average? Ha.
The girl's 'yandere' nature doesn't even come into the picture. The story's set up somewhat interestingly, with the past between the MC and the blonde hinted at to be more than we know, the relationship between the glasses guy and Ishihara is also hinted at to be something more than simple classmates, the sister is clearly involved in what happened in the past, etc. Beyond the mysteries, the MC is shown to be a guy who is determined to make his one remaining family member happy, and hinted to be fairly dedicated and caring. There's also more to the blonde girl than meets the eye - she seems to be desperate to be a part of the MC's life, possibly out of guilt for what she did, possibly out of another reason that hasn't been disclosed yet, which is likely part of the mystery surrounding the destruction of their field. And she also doesn't seem to be willing to just go away despite the MC wanting her to do so, hinting at a deep-seated psychological hangup.
This post probably won't really affect you all that much (if you aren't trolling, that is), but I'd hope that at least others can see past your obvious bullshit. This isn't THE BEST MANGA EVUR, but it's a fair enough read right now, and is likely to become interesting to people interested in such a genre later.
