It's a genius work, the message is to stop idolizing women and instead start talking and getting to know women who also want to get to know you.

Incels hate this series because it stabs them in the eye, it exposes their weakness.

>>280142231 (and other pics with that toxic message that enables obsessive self destructive behaviors)
Dat shit is only true in batoru manga and in real life when you was assigned with an important job under a tight knit deadline and don't want to get fired or lose an important match in any sports. In romance, the people who get what they want is actually those who simply doen't try, are assertive about his chances and is just himself, not those who bruteforce his feelings. Basically, the inverse to not giving up.
Besides, the flower metaphor in >>280142221 is a huge mislead because Kazuya was a stubborn fuck about the morning glory, and even though got the 1st prize for raising the most beautiful flower, in the end, it didn't even matter because the flower Kazuya grew wasn't the morning glory he wanted so badly.

What's Kanokari's ACTUAL message? 1: know your boundaries and your place, 2: just be yourself and 3: you can't buy love, you can't be captain save-a-ho and 4. Don't become obsessed, neither make useless efforts for someone you'll never get, better look around and you'll find out there are people who will love and care about you.

This manga is great because it deconstructs shounen tropes and shows the consequences of applying them to a realistic romance.

Mean, corrupted and sneaky women with an inferiority and survivor guilt complex will always win in realistic adult romances like this. This is not about an MC healing a girl, but about an MC with emotional maturity issues being willing to corrupt himself and sell his soul to the devil so the FMC can see herself as worthy of him.

"Nice girlsโ„ข" always lose in these type of romance (and usually because they are actually double faced menheras whose "niceness" is only a facade).

That's the exact point moron: He dreams big, puts in the effort, and he gets rewarded, but since it isn't what he wanted(Chizuru) he is blind to what he actually has(Ruka/Sumi/Mami/Mini/your pick).

I read manga since middle school and have lived real life too, so have more authority than a blind shipper who thinks this is a manga where shit gets solved by bruteforcing and having no consideration for the consequences of the actions, batoru manga style. Instead, it's a series where such behavior gets punished, but instead, it only rewards honesty, forethinking and assertivity.

It should tell you something that the only one from Kazuya's friends who got laid is basically the one who didn't even try the hardest and just let things flow (Sasapai).

No, with Mami we don't really know if he really put in the effort, he didn't make a freaking movie for her, we know he tried to get into her pants and failed.

Now with Chizuru he obviously put the effort and he gets nothing of value(if anything he lost a lot) , but at the same time he has a bunch of girls that actually got moved by that and maybe, just maybe he'll end up with one of them, but the point is he doesn't see any of that, he only sees Chizuru and that it's joever.

Go and check the theory of the three great loves.
>tl;dr 1st love (first) is the inmature and passionate one; 2nd (intense) love is the most painful and most intense and the 3rd and last (unconditional) is the complete and definite one, the love you finally accept after coming to terms with yourself, not a perfect one , but one built under a shared vision of a future, understanding and mutual respect.
Nips think Reiji applied that theory to kanokari, because Mami was the 1st and Chizuru is the one that is making him experience a living hellhole, the 2nd. So the mystery here is who's gonna be the 3rd love. If it's about unconditionality, then Mini is the most fit.

Promotional material puts the other girls on everything, but they were never very prominent characters. Generally they'd only pop into the series to stir up drama with the main "couple", then disappear again once they served their purpose.

I have no contact with this at all, but just going by the title I know 3 things:
1. Itโ€™s based on irl "compensated dating" (JKs prostituting themselves).
2. Every single one of these "girlfriends" is a virgin; the connection to prostitution just being an extremely shallow, cosmetic gimmick only for gags, not any genuine intent to explore the topic.
3. Itโ€™s a mono-romance with a main pair and all other characters being supporting, foils or gag material. There is no other type of shounen romance media.

No. The girls in this series work at a professional escort company. Which, just like in the west, is often used as a front for prostitution, but not always.

Compensated dating is something else entirely.

Waitโ€ฆ.what? Escorts sounds like a josei premise, not a shounen romance like I assumed. If itโ€™s josei things are different. That means none of them are virgins (except sometimes the MC in the beginning), prostitution will be played off as glamorous hanging out with CEOs at expensive parties with only the highest-status men falling in love with them.

Girlfriend, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Rent it 10 times, no reason no rhyme
To go on dates, all I do is buy
Whores are a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the beret swings
Watch it cost down at the end of the day
My purse is empty, it's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Throw my savings right out the window
Tryin' to get a kiss, didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I shot everything outside
And even though I tried, not to masturbate
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when

I was so hard and spent so much
But in the end, all simps will get cucked
Bought online whores, to get no-touch
But in the end, there is no fuuuuuuck
