Is it a stretch to say this is a cuck fantasy rather than a actual romance?

>>279770645 (OP)
not even cucks would self insert into someone as pathetic and mentally ill as kazukek

>>279770645 (OP)
it's a deconstruction of harem anime

Not really. Check out the dudes on its subreddit, some of them still defend Chizuru with their lives and make constant claims that nothing Kazuya has done so far entitles him to any real respect or appreciation. Similarly whenever the other guy trying to fuck her is brought up (Umi?) they basically skirt the question of whether she's a whore for not outright shooting him down.

It's a very cucked manga with an even more cucked fanbase

Kazuya is a pathetic cuck with nothing going on in his life.
His love interests are either rentals or thots.
I dont see a point reading any of this

You're meant to self insert as Chizuru and imagine yourself scamming money off simps. It's a female power fantasy.

>>279770645 (OP)
It's a comedy. It's about a rented girlfriend. There is no romance in a traditional sense.

>>279770645 (OP)
The main couple is incompatible on a fundamental level. Here you have one willing to love many (e.g. a whore) combined with one willing to love only one (e.g. a simp). When you put these two together you have a clear-cut cuck fantasy manga.

based. hang and castrate all simps and watch how the world heals overnight

>>279770645 (OP)
It's supposed to be a comedy. Reiji actually believes Kazuya is funny.

>>279770645 (OP)
>Kazuya can't truly get her and can only watch since she's Reiji's pinup girlfriend, not his
the ultimate NTR story

>>279770645 (OP)
It's misery porn.

The actual harem deconstruction is picrel tho all the women+a faggot realize their feelings in the most twisted and toxic ways and are actively sabotaging, bullying and trying to kill the competition

I'd count Kanokari if after the cohab it goes back to dark harem deconstruction shenanigans ft. Mini, the closest we had is the Ruka/Mami/Chizuru plot.

Enough

The two biggest mysteries with this series are: one, why it’s still popular and sells so well despite people apparently hating it; and two, why the doujins are so bad, even though her design is pure sex and the manga’s content lends itself perfectly to something spicy instead of the usual boring, vanilla romance between the two main characters.

Liked enough by weirdos for it to exist hated enough for it to has shitty gap material

Despite what Kusokari fags tell you, sales have been decreasing with each volume

>>279773983
And it seems it's starting to generate net losses for Kodansha (anime Merch and promotional stunts may be successful, but manga sales hinders the profitability).
Vol. 41 is gonna have a special edition. This is a first for the franchise, and usually is done for series that are struggling with collapsing sales (Kekoo began to release special editions when sales started collapsing hardee than Kanojo, domekano constantly engaged into limited editions of the volumes with additional sex chapters to prevent sales from declining because they were quite stagnant during its runtime).
If Kazuya and Chizuru end becoming a couple after having a moment of intimacy in the next 7 chaoters, then you know shit will be over in a matter of a few weeks.
