It's refreshing to see a Harem MC have a pretty face finally.

It makes it much more believable

>>280493056 (OP)
>the son is hotter than his mother

>>280493103
Many such occasions

>>280493056 (OP)
>>280493068
>caring about the looks of the MC aside from them being hideous
>caring about real life standards of believability in harem anime
When did /a/ become this gay?

>>280493103
NGL, his mom doesn't seem hot to me.
The sisters are way hotter.

>>280493056 (OP)
>refreshing
>finally
Hello there, newfriend. May I introduce you to Koyomi Araragi-kun?

>this boy is talentless and mediocre no matter what he does.
>except for his beautiful face, his cooking and cleaning, and relentless drive to improve his craft for the sake of others.

>>280493302
Good looking protagonists just make things feel better all around. A plain guy brings the mood down.

>>280493056 (OP)
Sauce?

>>280493342
I like my protagonists with weird clothes and crazy shounen hair, but you are literally gay.

It's better than some manga where the male MC is described as an average looking guy but in the actual manga art he's the best looking male in it.

>>280493337
none of these matters in the current capitalistic society

>>280493355
Mikadono sisters

>>280493056 (OP)
Isn't he a loser in universe? I remember reading a few chapters of the managa, and he was basically treated pretty crapily.

>>280493393
It's either
>The most geneic dude that ever existed
or
>The biggest fucking loser imaginable
that gets harem.

>>280493302
you don't need a reason to prefer a good-looking person over an ugly one

>>280493056 (OP)
The fuck you're talking about?, lately most harem protagonists are canonically very handsome, if anything Yuu is on the lower end when it comes to looks due to being a manlet

>>280493056 (OP)
while they rarely have pretty faces, most of the time harem mcs are good-looking. it's just never explicitly stated in order to avoid hurting some people (ugly pigs)

>>280493557
Learn to read.

>>280493056 (OP)
It’s more that his effeminate that works to his advantage. Effeminate men can do whatever they want to women and they will just put up with it.

>>280493526
>Isn't he a loser in universe?
Yes, he's a loser who fails at pretty much everything he tries and aparently has no friends outside of the harem, he's only good at housework and the grils fall for him because he's nice

>>280493571
>most harem protagonists are canonically very handsome
Like who? Those 5-touban clones have MCs who aren't losers, but they're still not described as handsome in universe.

>>280493557
How did a monster who wrote this end up writing the most inoffensive harem manga of all time?

>>280493587
This is why I lost interest. Though, I did eventually plan to pick it back up later . Is there atleast good character development from him?

>>280493589
Fuutarou, Uryuu and Hayato are all described as handsome, Hayato also has a canonically big dick, the guy from temple ai also a natural ladykiller

What about MCs who think they're handsome?

>>280493609
Because some people are multifaceted and can enjoy different things unlike the soulless cretins here.

>>280493613
Just the usual self-esteem boost from being useful to the sisters

People who want harem MCs to be attractive don't understand the framework and dynamics of harems. You're the same as retards that want all genders to be pandered to in every work because they might feel left out otherwise.

>Talentless loser
>Manlet
>Friendless
>Low self-esteem
>Dead mom
>Childhood trauma
Yep, very refreshing and original protagonist

>>280493651
that's why you make him a hidden catch
like he's invisible, everyone barely notices him, but the moment he works out, cuts his hair, dresses better, learns how to talk with women, and so on, it turns out he's handsome, all that stuff

>>280493609
Isn't most of the artist work vanila?

>>280493523
Oh so he's hotter than the girls in his harem too, lmao

>>280493618
I think most manga harem protagonists tend to be hot chads while LN harem protagonists tend to be literally me losers

>>280493633
I wouldn't say it's just that, he's slowly learning to be more assertive about doing things because he wants to do them, rather than just for the sisters.

>>280493697
Pic related's MC is an in universe chad who makes autsits and other losers of his class seethe..

>>280493697
WN harem protags tend to be absolute losers who are up their own asses, who are either super overpowered or the lowest of the low.

>>280493727
>who are either super overpowered or the lowest of the low
Sometimes they're both somehow

>>280493706
That's the self-esteem boost, higher self-esteem leads to him becoming more assertive rather than putting everyone else's wants over his own

>>280493726
chiremune is absolute ass and the protagonist comes off as an annoying person. Vol 2 is especially shitty.
The girls aren't even good and the girls are 99% of the reason I read any of this stuff.

>>280493657
is your average MC-cuck this sarcastic and teasing?

>>280493744
It's related, sure, but I think it's perfectly possible to have high self-esteem while also mainly working for other people's sake.

>>280493775
It's not amzing story or anything, but it's still a decent 6/10 read with a kind of MC you rarely ever see in romcoms.

>>280493782
>male character written by woman.jpg

>>280493056 (OP)
Vampire Dormitory got a second season?

>"I like him because he's nice!"
>the MC is not nice at all
This one bothers me the most.

>>280493820
woman author knows how women work

>>280493803
I will give you that he's unique but I will stand by my claim the girls all suck.

>>280493782
Yeah, all of them talk back to the harem at one point or another, I just opened the first manga i saw on the harem tag and got this for example

>>280493813
I kept thinking of Mikadono the whole time when I watched that show

>>280493333
Let's see him without his shirt.

This is also pic related where MC is from the popular crowd.

>>280493333
I always forget he's a manlet too, at least he has living parents

>>280493865
Literally no problems with his height since he's Japanese and spends most of his time in Japan.

>>280493872
t. coping manlet

>>280493812
Isn't Mikadono's author just a fujoshi who make yaoi too?

>>280493812
women want an effeminate male to spank them when they are bad do people have a hard time understanding this.

>>280493887
You sure do spend a lot of time thinking about height. Almost like you have no other redeeming qualities.

>>280493782
There's the guy from Mayonaka that actively teases the girls for having a crush on him. It comes off poorly though since the guy doesn't take any of the heroines seriously.

>>280493916
Wrong, I'm a nice guy, I can cook and I have a wicked sense of humor, I deserve my own harem

I WISH I WERE A WOMAN

Wanting anime protagonists to abide by the standards of 3D women is the most cucked shit imaginable.

>>280493657
There's nothing wrong with common character traits as long as the character *feels* refreshing. Yuu's cheerfulness and optimism are infectious, and the fact that he can be goofy, serious, smug, wistful and so on depending on the situation keeps him from getting boring.

>>280494008
Anons brain can only work in terms of coupling and negative association, it shuts down the moment anything resembling something he dislikes is on screen. Some people are genuinely incapable of engaging with characters on their own terms.

>>280494071
OP is a good example, the only way he can shill for this is by shitting on other harems instead of engaging wth the character on it's own terms

>>280494089
I agree, OP is a fag as usual.

>>280493939
>ummm Anon you're so sweet and funny and I love all the food you make us
>but um Anon, like, you're so freakishly tall
>you're just too scary and intimidating, sorry!
Many such cases

>>280494008
lots of people have been raised to always try to subvert expectations at any point that it makes them view it as being good by themselves.

>cute MCs le bad
Incel take

>>280494205
The issue here is the definition of cute varies. The guy in your pic would be called a bland beta by other guys.

>>280494205
The only people who didn't like this ship were NTRfags and yuri fags. Everyone else loved it.

>>280494205
Its walking the grey line in an anti hero kind of way. Cute shota are fine but a femboy or tranny abusing their social status to get close to girls is dangerous.

>>280493939
>>280494125
Only people who failed at basic life skills complain about MCs being good at cooking. Because unlike them, they lack dedication to improve their cooking skills.

>>280494243
>The guy in your pic would be called a bland beta by other guys.
Yuta is your typical modern shounen mecha MC, who's usually designed to be shotabait (usually kids' shows, though). Probably to appeal to the same groups that like the MC in the OP.

>>280494339
Newfriends are so cute. Overlap between mechafags and shotafags is common knowledge.

>>280494406
But it used to be manlier…

>>280494255
Wait till you find the people who keep shitting on MCs and romcom are all mostly NTRcucks.

>>280494205
>unironically using incel as an insult on /a/

>>280495144
4chan is not and never has been a hugbox, incel. If somebody yells "HEY FAGGOT", you're the faggot turning his head here.

>>280495144
You are all deeply unhinged weirdoes who seethe at frictional characters for not being hateful losers like you.

>>280493056 (OP)
Shame about his everything else.

Yuu's a cheeky little fella

>>280495136
NTR fags are pretty miserable. If you follow any artists on twitter you'll find out they have no friends or family and constantly talk about killing themselves. I guess you need to be mentally ill to a cute girl and boy having young romance and the first you think of is her having sex with old men.

>>280493896
In a shonen magazine, no less

>>280493896
Many such cases. From the very same magazine, the Akira Momose author is a prominent BL artist

>>280496091
Naturally, only a fujoshi is capable of writing men who are actually interesting in a romantic sense.

>>280493912
It's not hard to understand but it's not practically sustainable because women would need endless spanking 24/7

>>280496497
It doesn’t matter if it’s not sustainable you go out there and be a man. Spank all the women you can they work hard and deserve it

>li'l twink don't put up with their shit but instead trolls the sisters
he's a harembro who deserves some respect. way more respect than guys like kuzuya who let women walk over him (he has to pay for that service)

>>280493921
I wouldn't call "you all have a crush on me, but I'm sure it's just teenage stuff and it will pass" is teasing. He's just overly blunt and enormously stupid when it comes to romance, like any other harem MC.

stinks iike cc in here

>>280500321
This is bullshit back in my day bratty shota got taught a lesson when they were mean to bigger girls

>>280500321
I was more talking about how he was teasing Iko for writing a love song about their shared experiences.

>>280493492
Then what does matter?

>>280493056 (OP)
ENTER

>>280495385
Damn brat!

Cooking talent is inborn
I'm cookpilled.

>draw a girl
>call it a boy
also damn it would be hot if his harem were
hung futas

>>280493056 (OP)
This anime is for women, be careful.

>>280502786
Talent may be inborn, but it means nothing if you do not have dedication to practise and actually develop the skill. Especially when it comes to cooking.

>>280502786
>Cooking talent is inborn
It's called being French.

>>280503477
Women want to prey on young boys so its ok

>>280493492
I think he'd find a fair amount of success if he has an Instagram account. He'd sell out to advertisers.

>>280503535
A big theme of the series, as it turns out

>>280493337
marriage with (Yuu)

>>280503535
Its even more true when domesticating tomboys

>>280495385

>>280493056 (OP)
Anyone else hate his mom? She made Yuu feel like he's responsible for connecting with her. She's the fucking adult and he's a kid, she is accountable for their relationship and it's her responsibility to maintain it.
>She just wanted a family!
She was already a shit mom, she'd be a shitty wife too. She had family and he grew up barely knowing her.

>>280493103
EVERY FUCKING TIME

>>280505442
Yuu is more adult then his mom sounds like her should give his mom a good spanking then maybe that will teach her.

>>280505783
Literally who likes dommy shota x sub mom? It's disgusting. I need to know where to avoid it.

>>280505947
Im sorry but ive never seen anything like that before since most oneeshota mom is male sub. Would be cool if there is stuff or stuff gets made though

>>280505442
It's not uncommon that parents have no idea what their responsibilities are to their children outside of keeping them alive and out of danger.

In this case, the mother is hyper talented and only knows that she is supposed to fulfill the expectations that others thrusted upon her. So she ends up being a neglectful parent. It's not a good thing but for a celebrity, it could be way worse. Like celebrities who use fame as an escape so they have no idea how to even act as a human being to their loved ones, living only for the next gig where they are showered with attention.

>>280493056 (OP)
faggot coded

>>280505442
Obviously she's not meant to be mom of the year or anything. I think she always wanted to get along with Yuu, but she was just so fixated on her own talent that beyond providing for his basic needs, her career would always take precedence over him. Yuu for his part stopped trying to reach out because she wasn't responding, and probably grew to resent her to some degree — hardly something you can fault him for, but you can see why he'd feel partially responsible. And then she felt comfortable focusing on her career even more because of that. It's not that she was being malicious or anything, she just couldn't see where she was going wrong before the illness forced her to reconsider her perspective.
Point being that even though it was ultimately her fault, it's probably not something she could have fixed on her own. Of course it wasn't Yuu's responsibility to fix it either, but he probably thinks he *could* have, which is why he feels so strongly about not letting the same thing happen to the sisters.

>>280493620
8man is confident, driven, and decently tall so its very believable that women would be into him.

>>280506908
No one corrected him or laughed at him when he said he was handsome, I think Yukino said his eyes ruin it.
