I’m rereading the first story, and now that I’m taking a step back, dude the Male Lead was super creepy.

Falling in love with a guy immediately, and not taking a ‘no’ and not respecting the MC’s boundaries. I mean, he kept messaging the MC over and over again, even though the MC made his intentions clear that he wasn’t interested and didn’t respond to the ML’s constant texts. The ML ruined the MC’s attempt to connect with another guy, and also just took him straight home and came in with the MC too.

I know it’s supposed to be construed as ‘oh wow how romantic this ML is’, but what if the MC really wasn’t interested? What if the MC was you, and someone you don’t have a romantic interest in and barely know outside of a professional capacity kept pursuing you regardless of your own feelings? To the point of sabotaging your other romantic interests and barging In in your own home?

Dang, in a manga, this is cute. In RL, I’d be freaked the fuck out.

    I just read the latest story, and damn. The author is really Queen of Red Flags. The art is pretty but the MLs are shitty

    Well in the atogaki the author said her editor told her to tone a bit down the ML because he was creepy

    agree.. the art is great but i CANT stand the constant calling and attempts to communicate when the person clearly said they weren't interested. this happens in real life and its so tiring to deal with
