MC is in denial

He claims he’s ugly so in reality he shouldn’t have anything to really worry about plus he’s a background Mob character.

Except the character profile type for Ayato his younger brother is “background type” so nothing is stopping him from also filling the troupe. Additionally the “ugly (or just called ugly)” character in BL manga is also a character troupe. Especially the small dots for eyes instead of detailed ones.

I know this because I’ve read them. He needs to step up his game in the diversity of troupes in his BL collection.

Poor guy has no clue he’s prime main character material. Epically with the whole being completely against a relationship and being “straight” as that is also another troupe.

If he’s this worried he really has to be more proactive and just ask a girl out. Just really go for it, no matter what he does there is a risk of being caught in a troupe but he’ll get no where if he doesn’t take one.

Plus at least currently him saying how he likes women with big chests but never actively looking to date one, not having any magazines of women in his collection (that I can recall), and being foiled by his own fears of possibly getting a date with a girl through the chocolate. Just kinda gives vibes of him being in denial to what he’s actually attracted to in the name of continuing his family’s bloodline in lieu of his brother.

But that’s just my interpretation, I do also understand from a writing stand point he can’t get in any relationship until the manga concludes (if he ever does) cause that would just end the point of the manga in the first place. I do love this story, it’s really fun to follow. And when it one day does reach its inevitable conclusion I’m interested to see how it ends.

    I think MC is just a person who hasn't find his love, you can that him likes girl with big boobs is just like how straight men think it is. More like he just get that stereotype so that he could claim that he is a straight guy.

    And maybe for him being Single is the best

    But i think if i had to choose who the best for our mc, i think mind reading guy, even they didn't end up together, i hope they become friends.

    This take is valid, but at the same time mc has never expressed attraction towards men either. He gives off ace/aro vibes

    Yeah that’s pretty true as well, it’s something I can see also. I wouldn’t be against it either, I’d always like more ace/aro characters in media. I’m ace myself so yeah I’d enjoy it if he turned out to be so.

    Though to the point for simply theorizing, he has lightly (keyword lightly) blushed when reading the BL books he’s gathered, when Hanato confessed to him, and regularly calls guys handsome and or cute.

    But that’s entirely subjective, obviously you can call someone attractive but not be attracted to them. That’s my entire life. I’m more so speaking in regard to what the author put in with possible intention rather than what’s comparable to real life experience.

    As for going more into the idea of him being ace/aro I definitely could see him somewhere on the spectrum. All he ever talks about is how he wants to avoid flags and troupes. So maybe he’s demi, but because of how the world works of instant love essentially he wouldn’t want to experience love that way.

    For sure, the several “up to interpretation” moments on mc’s sexuality allow for most endings in terms of who he ends up with to feel natural, can’t wait to see what the author goes with (≧∀≦)
