It's Not Meguro-san's First Time - Vol. 1 Ch. 9 - Guilty Feelings

That mom is kinda horrible. You can play it off as comedy, but if you say half the things she's said here to your kid over a period of time it would mess their psyche up pretty bad.
 
Maybe his mother is the cause of his lack of confidence? Oh well, yeah sure it's a gag...

Oh and I've read your interview too. It was pretty interesting.

Thanks.
 
His mom at least succeeded in treating her like a person. He treat her like an object. Can't touch her, can't talk to her, assumes what she is thinking. Mom cut through the BS and got to the point which helped him get what he actually wanted,but was too scared to ask.
 
Get the fuck outta my room i'm playing minecraft [/s ]smoochy woochying with my girlfriend.
 
It's easy to say that is a joke but even when you say it it hurts, no wonder the mc is like that with a mother like her, she wanted a girl and then she tells the girlfriend that he's a loser, she doesn't even trust her own son with a girl, damn...
 
At least he didn't kissed her because he wimped out at the last second.

It's a surprise, didn't expect to see the parents.
Hope this mother fix her son's thought process.
 
Jesus, the mom went from cockblocker to wing(wo)man after Meguro gave her son one compliment.
She was ready to throw the poor boy under the bus before that, though. lol

I think I'll be a little more forgiving of the MC's low self esteem in the future. I mean, if his own mother doesn't think much of him ('I wanted a daughter but this guy popped out instead) it's not surprising that he doesn't think much of himself either.

Where the fuck is his dad???
 
If you think his mom is bad, then you probably aren't Asian. Asian parents always compare you to children of people they know who are better than you in any way, shape, or form. They'll also talk shit to you right in front of your face. But if there's one thing you should know, it's that doing this is actually their way of telling you to do better. It's not that they're awkward or anything, but this is the way Asian people have raised their own since ages ago; indirect encouragement instead of direct encouragement.

The MC is also acting like a typical Asian; he thinks more before he talks, which in a sense, is an attribute of a so-called beta person. Westerners, aka Europeans, tend to be more direct, thus we attribute them as alphas. You can see this kind of pussy MC in Korean, Chinese, and other types of Asian literature, not just Japanese. It's just that the MCs that are typically translated for Korean and Chinese tend to be more alpha.

Then again most Japanese MCs tend to be beta, so there's that.
 
@degenerateafro

So, being nervous and self conscious is the same as treating some like an object?

...Go back to tumblr.

EDIT: Also, he's been holding her hand for a few chapters now, he's asked her out to lunch, and out on a date. He is literally doing everything you claim he isn't. He just agonizes about it a bit before he does it.

What manga are you reading???
 
@degenerateafro he isn't treating her like an object, actually the opposite, he is trying to make her telling him her own wishes and opinions instead of just doing what pleases him.
