>>279798073 (OP)The only anime I can think of where main girl likes another boy and it's developed well. Most authors would be too afraid of the NTR allegations to have real human interaction snd growth.
>MakeineLol no. The non-MC males in that anime are literally cardboard cutouts with no personality besides 'girl likes them, and they dont like her back. Isnt that saaaaaaad?!'.
Kitamaru is a fully fleshed out and interesting character, has more going on with making the most fo his youth. His relationship with pres is also actually interesting and not just there solely to cuck Taiga.
Tldr: modern romcom authors refuse to write males outside of the main guy. If they exist theyre a plot device or comic relief.
