Chapter 21

In which the main hetero couple blooms into Yuri.

I need to get under arrest.

That's some freakin' weirdly specific criteria.

What, did a tall girl bite you when you were a child ?

27 is old ?

Man, that's not helping my 23 existential crisis.

Is my boi okay ? He's hiding inside the kotatsu with the heater on, wouldn't it be too hot for him ?

I don't think whatever he's doing down there is worth the face tan.

Man slept with his uncomfortable pointy pine-tree hat.

Now that takes dedication to the Holidays spirit.

Or maybe he's just dumb.

He doesn't need an exorcist.

He needs therapist.

Esper girl on the SECOND chapter ?

Our boi is now speedrunning the pre-serialization.

We really doing this ? In the first chapter, even ?

My man cannot be contained.

Filming a movie might seems fun, but it's a very difficult thing to do, I don't know how they'd manage to keep the whole class together to make something like that, but power of the mango class friendship, I guess...

Also, I'm kinda amused that the author managed to find our boi's slight characterization inside the black hole that is his personality, I'd like to see where they'll take that in the story, is he gonna turn into the assertive childhood friend gf's cameraman ? That would be interesting.

I think the problem is that they're all freakin' tropes with nothing more added; dense boi is the self-insert protagonist with the relatable personality of having none so you can project yourself on him easily, loner girl is the shy girl that secretly love the main character, glasses girl is the mysterious woman from the past, his little sister is the ''I am so good at housekeeping, I am such a good wife, wow !'' with an added incest subtext as a joke, and the assertive childhood friend is the unattainable flower beyond his reach.

All of them (except the main girl), by virtue of being side character he can talk to, have been somewhat expanded upon, may it be their reasons for loving him, or simply a glimpse into their personalities, but the childhood friend has constantly been placed in the background ever since the author added more characters to the mix, hence why the only thing we really know about her is ''I want to be an actress !'' because she says it now in every chapter since that detail was added (which hasn't been so long story-wise, but for us felt like forever 'cause of the wait between chapters).

Personally I prefer her over the others, mostly because none of the others (once again, personally) interest me in this story's context (they could find someone SO MUCH better than him) and I think they dilute the original story, but I could see each of them in a better mango, where they'd get the true spotlight, the detailed characterization and love they deserve.

Freakin' finally.

Only took 45+ chapters for him to realize that

Love is realizing you like someone, a lot.

With this dense idiot, however, love will not happens.

''What are we going to do ?''

''Something good will happen !'' then proceeds to cut his own bride open and cause nuclear annihilation of an entire country he wanted to rule.

Moving on, this only make their reunion and what they told each other HELLA FREAKIN' WEIRD, like, ''Yo girl, remember me from like 400+ years ago ? I was your boyfriend that cut your stomach with my boys so that I'd get all of your magic power and rule the kingdom instead of you ? Haha, I build you a new magic kingdom, wanna be my Queen ?''

And for some, (still unknown) reason she was like ''Wow, that's so sweet of you, I love you ! Yay !'' ???????????????

Don't get me started on the original plan ! Even if that succeeded and he became Wizard-King or whatever, what would he have done with her ? Apologize from taking all her magical power, lying to her and cutting her stomach open for a horrifyingly painful ritual ?

I don't suppose Wizard King Guy had time to go to therapy during all those years without her ?

His Maid gf, obviously.

Ranger boi went through so much trauma, from his past and his current life, even got disfigured forever and lost his sister, the last remaining member of his family.

It was only a matter of time until he became the Joker.

And now we'll finally (maybe) find out where baby Invaders come from !

It says I have a bookmark on this chapter, but I have absolutely no recollection of this mango ever existing.

I guess that's what happens when 4 years pass without a single update, oh well.

Gotta read this all over again to see if it's actually good now, hoping that if it is, it won't take another American election to get another chapter.

Man, she's great, I love her.

...You know what ?

I'm starting to think that, what if, maybe a stretch but.. Could he actually have autism ?

He has no social awareness, he can't understand emotions like love, he's completely dense, his only ideas about what love is are tropes seen constantly in fiction... The only thing he'd need now is an full-on obsession, but he's too self-insert to have that, I guess.

Also this chapter is a near-replica of the last one with boring girl, at least for what it's about and the girl reaction. Nothing to do with autism except repetition, yes, but I kinda wanted to share that too.
