Similar but different ideology and believe. (Makeine episode 11 and Rosidere episode 08)

Komari is more interesting than Alya, but Masachika is more interesting than Nukumizu.

If intresting means acting like op edgy battle shounen mc in a romcom then yes.

@WaterMage Nah, it means not acting like a reserved goody two-shoes MC :P

@Zarutaku isn't this the exact same thing he did by helping Alya in the first place?

@WaterMage lol, he's doing that to rizz her up and even keeps major secrets from her like Yuki being his sister and not understanding Russian.

@Zarutaku atleast you are more honest than Maschasika who for the entire season gave bs reason like "I see passion or something which Yuki doesn't have" lol..

But the show still tried to sell him as that goody reserved character (for first few episodes atleast) before doing complete 180 and revealing he can do everything easily.

@WaterMage Nah, it means not acting like a reserved goody two-shoes MC :P

Thing is only part similar.

Maschasika was already in that debate as a helper to Alya he did his job.

Nukumizu had no right to barge in. Despite how sorry he feels and good intentions it's disrespect to Komari. Komari had every right to get made him.

It's difference of a very generic plot and an actual more realistic plot.

@Zarutaku ??????? That's literally exactly what Masachika is?

@SkyhighCFC Nah, he's straightforward and also benefits from keeping major secrets from Alya, winning her over like a shrewd rizzler.

@Zarutaku Huh? How does that make him not a goody two shoes?

Also really? "Winning her over like a shrewd rizzler"??? Seriously? Have some shame man. This guy got rattled just by her using his first name and from her lightly teasing him on their little "date" in the last 2 episodes. He is NOT the guy you think he is 😂

@SkyhighCFC Goody two-shoes don't exploit secrets they keep from their love interest, he's well aware that his support for Alya is making her fall for him and he continues to make her fall even more, that's exactly what shrewd rizzlers do. Frist name embarrassment is just a silly and overused anime trope and almost everyone would become rattled if they got teased by a goddess like Alya.

@Zarutaku

Yea...ngl brev this is just cringe. He's keeping secrets from Alya for both his sister's sake and Alya's sake. The only reason he hasn't told her about him knowing Russian is so Alya doesn't get embarrassed. The only reason he hasn't told Alya about his sister is because nobody is supposed to know that they are siblings because of his grandfather. That was made pretty obvious...

This guy didn't even realize Alya could have potentially actually been into him until like episode 5. He is NOT a "rizzler" (so cringe btw 💀)

@SkyhighCFC If he didn't want to embarrass her, he could have told her about his Russian skills from the start, but he didn't.
There are others in their school who know that they are siblings and he knows that Alya is trustworthy enough to keep it a secret if he told her, but he didn't. He started to rizz her up like a brave knight in episode 3 and 4 already, that was made pretty obvious.

@SkyhighCFC Bro heavily underestimates Masachika, lol. Watch him become the best romcom male lead once S2 airs. Bro will become Ayanokoji.

@aurora_yuuki Ayano knows for sure, also had the impression that Taniyama knows, but not sure anymore.

So you didn't rewatch all the scenes where he used his rizz to score points? Okay then, he didn't make Alya fall for him and he's just a normal guy...

@Zarutaku No, he did not intentionally try to make Alya fall for him. How you even got this idea I'll never understand. If he was intentionally doing it like you're claiming then why are they not a couple right now, considering it should be obvious that she likes him at this point? And why does he get rattled when Alya gives him the slightest bit of heat on a date? 🤣

How could he do it unintentionally when he's aware that she's falling for him from her Russian remarks? Seems out of the question.

Good things take time, they also were busy with class and election stuff, doesn't seem like the right time yet.

Because he's not immune to her charm? Besides, they both get rattled, it's just a common romance trope.

@Zarutaku @SkyhighCFC Enough said. Time for a little spoiler, you two.


At the end of Episode 4 of Season 2, Masachika will realize and acknowledge Alya's feelings for him. It would be just so obvious that he cannot but acknowledge it based on Alya's emotions and actions.


From Masachika's monologue, us audience got to learn that he had always known about her having feelings for him. But he pretended not to see, he didn't want to believe that she could actually fall for him. He would always throw a tsukkomi to avoid expressing his true feelings (This is S1 Masachika), so that no one has to see him being vulnerable. All those thoughts stemmed from his sense of self-hatred.



Well, after he found out, the way he acted around her somewhat changed. And now, in V9, Alya refuses to let go of holding hands with Masachika even in front of his family.

@aurora_yuuki I mean...fair enough. That still doesn't support their claim that Masachika is some rizzler. He's just a good dude like I said before

It's almost like you aren't even watching the show. He was literally not even aware that she might have been serious about those Russian remarks until around the midway point of the series. He quite literally said he just thought she was doing light flirting to mess with him after she essentially confessed to him in Russian. Also even if he wasn't as dense as a box of rocks and realized much sooner...how does that imply her falling for him was something he intended? Has he done anything with an innate intention to make her fall for him? The answer is an obvious no. He was just being a good person. Being a good person and helping a friend isn't "rizzing" my guy...



If he was intentionally trying to get her to fall for him, he should have known since episode 1 that she genuinely likes him and they should have been a couple even before all this student council stuff. Awful excuse.



If he was as much of a "rizzler" as you claim he wouldn't be getting rattled by anything Alya says or does, because it's obvious how inexperienced Alya is with romantic situations like this. He would certainly not be losing composure over her using his first name. "He's not immune to her charm" is just another way of saying "he's not that guy and can't handle a bit of light flirting from a conventionally attractive girl".

@Zarutaku @SkyhighCFC C'mon, dawgs. I already belabored why Masachika was never intending on making Alya for him by even quoting from the LN. He never took himself to be worthy of being liked by anyone, let alone by the likes of Alya.



Why y'all still goin' about this?
