>>280067303>I don't see what's cool or interesting about himNo shit
>recall every time he's had to report to the gals whenever he wanted to do something on his ownNever. He goes out with his friends in the first manga chapter, which Reina reminds him of because he slept in late.
>or when they shut him downI'm not sure what you mean, but the only scenarios that comes up in are when he's being hard on himself, when the gals are using him to snipe at each other (Like Ruri trying to tempt him to not go to Costco/a love hotel with Reina by enticing him with sex) or to rope him into a sex act (which is entirely what the punishment system is about).
>There is nothing elseYeah, the thing about an ongoing story is stuff keeps happening. You could check out chapter 40 to see some development, not that it'll change your mind. If you've been reading along, the shrine visit in chapter 28 clearly shows his growth in what his mother sees. Chapter 26 is all about his work ethic and determination.
Heck, you claim he makes no decisions for himself by he was working part time for months and the gals explicitly didn't know about it (doujin 5). He very clearly does things outside of them. That's just not the focus of the story.
You clearly feel a specific way about Keita, and that's fine. But I don't think what's actually happening in the story aligns with your dismal view.
>>280067502I'm not saying it's amazing writing, I specifically brought it up because it is absolutely him showing a spine. Lisa catches feelings for a very similar reason, we see her flashback in Chapter 16 to when he was hanging out with his friends. Lisa happens to catch them walking by, and sees him live his values by picking up some trash. It's not like it's an earth shattering stance he's taking, but it clearly has meaning to him and we see that has an impact on how Lisa views him.
>>280067810Hell yeah. Don't forget there's a nude version too.
