I like this. Love is not something that falls in your lap often like some stories like to present. There are sometimes where shit gets ugly and you need to fight for it. He's 'fighting' for it in the most humanely way possible too, so bonus points to him.
Yeah I never understood the 'guys get mad at other guy for having a girlfriend'. It must be a Japanese thing, because any time one of our friends got a girlfriend all we'd say is "Nice dude".
This reminds me of when I moved into our main house when I was a kid. There was an older widowed lady that was our neighbor who grew all sorts of vegetables in the couple of acres behind her house. She'd invite us over and let us have carrots and potatoes and other such things, we just had to...
Lmfao, people shitting on a middle school kid who clearly has home problems.
I had the perfect family and I was still a silly edgelord in middle school. Let the guy act like a kid somewhat.
This manga is masterful in many ways. The way Himeno tries so hard to be 'mature-beyond-her-age' is funny but would often mean she'd be ostracized for such behavior. Her group of friends, especially Ouji, usually bring her back to enjoying simply being a kid. It's wonderful.
