Weird choice of anime for this, in this one the MC is actually super dependable, charismatic, helps anyone when asked, is popular and even used to be vice president of the student Council.
Everyone likes their own things in people.
These kind of anime shows are targeted at the folks who tend to be big anime fans. It’s escapism, showing a world where even they can land the best girl in the school. It’s not meant to be realistic.
Agreed but it’s not impossible. My girl is waaaaaaay out of my league and a traditional “popular” type of woman.
nah, you just got low self esteem
I mean they do have a childhood connection but only he knows about it lol
He doesn’t actually. Only her sister knows. He can’t recognize her sister now
It also helps that like 80+% of the time the guy is the one otaku who is relatively physically fit, reasonably grooms himself, and has at least a modicum of social skills (even though they temporarily have no friends before making 3 dozen)
Every once in a while though you get something like the first few volumes of watamote where the main character is genuinely a fairly reprehensible person who constantly makes things worse every time they try. Though to be fair even that ended up with tomoko somehow gaining a pseudo harem
he can fix her
Yeah that relationship dynamic doesn’t work.
The gamer side of the relationship sat around all day while I kept up the house and paid the bills and did things like go outside for fun.
Passion trumps anything else. Makes one an entirely different person, it’s like having a certain glow.
And if you lack passion, ionizing radiation will do much the same.
