I remember being a kid and reading the manga because the art looked interesting. Each chapter was only a couple pages. But it was chapter after chapter of this dude being a tool and a doormat for some popular girl who just pretends he doesn’t exist in public and I stopped because I figured it was just gonna be pathetic the whole time.

Have some god damn self respect.

    The first two seasons are fine, pretty cute even. However, the author is at a point now where they don’t want to make any of the shippers unhappy, so it is stuck in a perpetual ‘will they, won’t they’ holding pattern between the main guy and the two main girls (though I always shipped the main guy with another dude, if you know you know), at least when I stopped reading it about two or so year.

    Maybe it has changed? It was certainly a vibe at the time.

    Also you are wildly misreading the series imo if you think the main dude is a ‘door mat’. He is almost preternaturally good at the vibe check. It’s not ‘unreasonable’ to despise it, though, just a little too intense feeling to mostly forgettable media, outside of the art style, which is still great imo.
