Why does Japan not understand, that this show would have been 3 times better with a "normal" MC that doesn't start crying because of selfpitty all the time.

I really wonder why? Does the editor say something to the mangaka like "You know, this scene would be better if we make MC a whimp"
They even went so far and do the "crying boy/girl hand/arm in front of your eyes/face while running away"-pose. Who does that in real life? It's normaly used by comedy shows in anime and nearly never meant seriously.

I can live with looking at it... but I just don't understand the mindset? Who thinks it's cool/good/natural to have a wimpy MC that is so "close to water" all the time? The average guy can't possibly be *this* bad off to be able to self insert, can he?

False. That's the entire reason this type of show exist.

False. That's the entire reason this type of show exist.

Really? I'm not even talking about being a wimp or not being good around girls. I'm talking about people crying and hugging their legs in front of a girl they like, because of mere self-pity with basically no trauma attached to it other than getting dumped by a girl he has known for *1* month.

I'm a total wimp myself and probably just as bad around girls and wouldn't notice a flirt when my life depended on it, but damn.
