boring generic male leads are fine when a manga leans very heavily toward comedy, they serve as tsukkomi, and the comedy is actually good.

Did this ever get more chapters TLed? I think the stuff on mangadex is just reuploads of the stuff that was on bato.to, where it got only a few chapters before scanlators dropped it. It was good. :(

To be fair he isn’t a complete blank slate; they establish him as the hardest working person in the series. And seemingly trauma-free.

Nariyuki Yuiga is shown to be a hardworking student that even though he was not good in studying in the past, following his father's encouragement to become someone who can do everything, through hard work he was able to achieve a steady grade of 80% on all subjects. Yuiga is also a caring person, as his ultimate goal for getting a scholarship was to give his family who is poor a better life. Not only that, he is also caring for his friends whenever they're in any trouble, always helping them out without a single complaint.

He can also be dull and dense as he's oblivious to the romantic feelings the girls have for him throughout the series, especially Ogata's and Uruka's.

He literally asks one of them "Are you in love with me?" to her face and she says "haha no", it's not his fault.

Isn't Doki Doki Literature Club being officially translated into Japanese now or something? Would be fun to see their reactions to it, I remember seeing an article on a Japanese gaming site when it came out talking about the influences on it and a bunch of gamers there were all "the gently caress is this, this isn't Japanese? What's so special about it?"

It's a western remake of a way cooler japanese original that doesn't credit the original, and for that it must die.

Semi autobiography about a Japanese college student and her saudi arabian roomate

The author is a uk born japanese muslim who translated metal albums from europe for the domestic market and that's a cool life story.

He's got different developing relationships with all the girls that aren't just one-sided crushes or the study group, which is more than you can say about a lot of other blank slate protagonists. *coughrakucough*

If you're talking about Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi, I'd say that the concept is the same, but the story paths diverge.

Also Doki Doki is free and I doubt most people know where to get Kimi to Kanojo unless they were a huge VN nerd who seeks that sort of stuff out. It's the accessibility that made the explosion of Youtube LP exposure possible because kind of like with Hatoful Boyfriend, it's acting as kind of people's first time with visual novels in general when they usually see those as "dating sim games in a Japanese high school" sort of thing instead of a medium that has potential which a lot of indie devs are playing around with, with varying degrees of success.

Taishou Wotome is a period romance and drama set in the Taishou era, A pariah from a wealthy family gets sent a servant by his dismissive father and falls in love with her with many ups and downs along the way.It uses events like the Great Kanto Earthquake as story beats. It's super cute and is finished, was published in Jump SQ even though its a straight shoujo romance more than a comedy. It's cool.

Premise: the MC falls in love with Fuuka and they start a band together

Spoilers for the fuckery

Fuuka dies around 30 chapters in (hit by a truck). He uses her death to ~find his voice~ and they continue the band. He eventually meets another singer named Fuuka... whose father was driving the truck.
I can't imagine hating people I've never met as much as the author must hate people who like his previous works.
