It's been a small trend of these manga settings where it pairs a girl who sleeps around a lot (or is rumored to) with an innocent virgin guy, plotting out a story where the guy has the girl fall in love with him because he treats her with respect and dignity. You can assert these kind of stories as wish fulfillment, trying to answer some insecurities about masculinity or whatever else it'd be, and that can exist as it is for what it is. Though most of the time you'd find that the girl doesn't feel like she's necessarily believable in a sense? Like she's not given enough background to make sense or even validate her values, and have it align to her past of having a high body count; Especially if you don't want to take the leap of faith. While that aspect doesn't really matter in the intent of wish fulfillment, it's definitely hard to have the story be anything but trashy.

Meguro is an interesting case, where after catching up to date with the manga at chapter 66 as of now, I honestly can find her to be believable. Because over time I can't help but find Meguro to be asexual, which I think answers a lot of questions towards her character, and is why the character/relationship dynamic works between her and Koga. It makes sense why she seems to only care about the romantic and emotional connection with someone, and why she doesn't ever seem to have any interest in sex. Her having a bunch of relationships, usually involving sex, is answered to it being a means to an end of developing emotional connection. The story does a lot to build her as a character to explain why she nonchalantly accepts Koga's confession and goes out with him. And it as well makes the effort to display how she views and navigates the world.

The main character, Makoto Koga, is very much so your formulaic timid and unconfident male. Reacts like a virgin when the situation can escalate to anything sexual, sometimes a doormat, afraid to speak up and whatnot. He has a pure, good-natured heart full of love for Meguro, which is pretty much all she wants. His emotional intelligence is his best point, which honestly is what carries him through the story along with his relationship with Meguro. The fact that he is able to properly communicate his thoughts and feelings to Meguro and other friends is what progresses the plot too. It's where he finds validation in himself and is able to validate Meguro, as the romance builds to where they both change for the better. He understands that his anxious thoughts hold him back, and actually makes an effort to improve. Though, still has a lot to go in that department lol. Still got the virgin energy too unfortunately.

Lastly, Meguro being asexual (or maybe demisexual?) is a head canon where I cannot be convinced otherwise. I can't see how she isn't. With how the story talks and introduces the opposite end about aromantic characters too, it pushes more for validating different forms of love and affection than it does try and play wish fulfillment. Koga and Meguro are trying to find a happiness that they can achieve together, trying their best to support and root for each other. Peak relationship goals, and overall a sweet read cause of it. No hardcore drama either.

The female mc is like a robot, like it feels like she has never been treated properly before, but when you look at

Baiscally this feels like the manga about the robot wife and dude, but in that manga, it was underatandable, and rather enjoyable with her being emotionless because in that manga, she is a robot.
Here the girl is literally like a husk, nothing exists to her, she always go along with whatever people say, when she given a choice ,she doesnt want to choose as it scares her. While she does think it does, there is no hint of emotion on her face or any suttle cues which says that this situation is unconfortqble.


The male mc is a beta. One of the stereotypes of these mangas that i hate is whenever a boy goes into their girlfrie ds room, they are on high alert, they think that "OH NO, IM IN MY GIRLFRIENDS ROOM/SHE IS IN MY ROOM, WHAT IF WE DO SOMETHING NAUGHTY TOGETHER, NOOOOOO"
I hate it when protags overexaggerat their girlfriends coming to their rooms or they go to their rooms. Like bro, grow a back bone, she is your girlfriend, dont start thinking about fantasies. She is just in your room/you are in her room, there nothing sexual about that, you are just vibing with each other


I finished reading up to 80, long story short, if you like the cliches in romance, such as callong you gf after their shower and being a fucking virgin thinking about OH MAH GAWD SHE GOT OUT THE SHOWER THATS SO FUCKING HAWT, this manga is for you,

Honestly there are better romance stories out theire with much more well written characters, i cant name any atm, but i can tell you that this manga is filled with cliches that occur whenever romance is involved between a girl and a boy.

I held back my judgement for this manga but the recent development made me appreciate how the society is such a hypocrite. Do we judge a human/woman based on their past? I mean yes, it will take alot of acceptance to read this manga if your used to FMC's being pure. But what is purity anyway? I love how the MC maybe a beta yet he's a DECENT human person. He was able to bring hope to FMC. I hope that the author give us such an ending for both of them.

You get the feeling, with the way it starts, that it's going to be dark and angsty, but it sure doesn't turn out that way. So far, very charming.
