Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie - Vol. 1 Ch. 4

I can't decide if she showed a smug or a scary face, when she grabbed his hand.

 

[Booty_Hunter]

so, if the goal was to make her look crazy/scary, 100 points from me, i agree.

 

[vaendryl]

Guys, find yourself a girl who will look at you the way she looks at him.

 

[episode]

That glare would tear u into pieces if this is a yandere universe

 

[scripted]

I will ask that girl to be my husband

 

[trilling]

Some people here are taking the self insert game too personal lmao. People are different and being weak is acceptable. Just deal with it.

 

[kaito]

is it jus me that thinks she look like a yandere rather than a cool girlfriend?

 

[Yoruno]

@FredFriendly Your pic really fits the things you blurted out it was actually refreshing to read.
Read the title for the intent. translation of original title is literally "Manga about the girl who's not just/only cute".


Just to add to the other comment below, being weak or lacking may not be desirable but its acceptable. in comparison, being a loudmouth with masculinity complex for example is neither desirable nor acceptable.

 

[FredFriendly]

@Yoruno If they were the only choices, I'd usually rather read a story involving a weak, emasculated MC than one with an overbearing, self-centered jerk of an MC. Just as in real life, falling in love with someone does not involve logic or rational thought, so we usually end up with stories about loser MC that ends up with a beautiful FMC that he would normally only be able to dream about being with, or stories about a popular but tyrannical, narcissist MC with a wallflower, submissive FMC who they get to walk all over. Ugh!

 

[Batotopls]

this feels like something that should just stay as a oneshot. the schtick already feels old after a few chapter

 

[Stoner]

What's wrong with being scared of movies?

 

[trilling]

@FredFriendly So because it sounds ridiculous it means it means the work shouldn't exist? If you dont like the MC(There's 2 btw), just switch to a different manga. Though i do not think your rational behind present mangas are incorrect, i do think that authors scew it overboard. Wich is you know, what manga is about. Fiction. I think your complains has in general nothing to do with the setting itself and more about you wanting more stories tailored to your taste. Though maybe you should read seinen for your needs of a more grounded setting.

 

[Liar]

@FredFriendly, Christ, man. There isn't any need to project here. From my perspective, it's just a short, romance comedy that plays with the gender expectations of Japanese teen romances. The fact you think that it's emasculating that he's not acting the typical masculine role of the boyfriend speaks volumes of what your expectations are than anything.

 

[Velsy]

Shes enjoying watching him be a pussy........ I guess shes reveling in the dominance.

 

[CheerTheDead]

Nah, it’s fine. If you fail as a bf, you can be a cute gf for her that she can protect.

 

[Sokers]

хм

 

[breizh]

you're failing as a boyfriend because you're scared of a horror movie but the girl should be scared ? That makes it kinda doubly sexist against males and females.

 

[jimkage]

What a faggot.

 

[mimicking]

I think this is adorable. no need to look deeper into it ^^

 

[definitionofinsanity]

At least he didn't soil himself.
...He... He didn't, right?
