| Personally, I really like the proposal of this anime/manga. However, I've already started to form an affection for the protagonist, and I really want him to enter this world of romance too. especially with yanami. But I feel like if I wait for something like that, it will definitely take a long time and it seems like a distant future... or maybe it will never happen So is it worth watching hoping for something other than girls suffering from being rejected? (If someone is already further along in the story, try to minimize spoilers, but in a way that answers the question ) |
| With all due respect, why not just watch what is presented in the anime story, instead of “hoping” for something to happen with the characters? To me, this way of thinking would only cause you to be disappointed with something you want to happen, not happening, but this would not be the shows fault. The MC is surrounded by people supposedly “in love”, wanting to and trying to get into a relationship, which provides much of the comedy and drama in the show, but he acts as the “straight man” in the show as the common friend of the girls that lost their chance for “love,” being a support in many cases. I personally like that he is more down to earth and not delusional about “love”, they would need a character that matches his common sense and maturity, but this has not come up yet. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |

I can understand what he's saying. This show is supposed to be a romance too, not just comedy and drama. And if everyone is losing, then we won't really have much romance in it. So obviously the potential romance is the MC with someone. This is like the yuri shows without yuri, because they didn't adapt enough source material to have yuri in them. The show is based around him basically falling into a situation of knowing girls that got rejected or lost their potential partner to another girl. He is the “outside observer” in all the cases and having to help each girl when they were rejected. Seeing all this mess, why would this make him want to put himself out there to possibly be rejected? Wouldn’t their experiences make him NOT want to act like these people, and to be more careful with his “feelings” and his choice of who he asks? |

| I’m sure it’ll happen at some point, but it feels a bit too soon for that. Would defeat the purpose of the story if love happened now. |
| 'Can we expect a romance from the protagonist?' no, I don't think we can |

@ejleon Makeine is a normal romantic comedy with a difference in the development of the characters. Anyone who thinks that there is no romance in a romantic comedy is very wrong and will probably be disappointed in the future. Just be patient with a slow pace
| @teymarofc Your first statement is false and your second is a straw man argument. This is not a "normal romantic comedy", the norm in these anime, is to have the male MC(s) interacting as the love interest or interested in the Female MC(s), which is what you are wanting to happen, but in this anime the male MC is not in any romantic circle, he is a friend of the girls being rejected or losing their potential partner to another. I never said "there is no romance in a romantic comedy", this is a made up issue that neither me nor @ktg said, so there is no reason to mention this, except as a straw man argument to claim that I am wrong, with false information. Lastly, this account was just started this year and only has 1 anime, this anime, on its history, so this looks like a fake account used to respond on the forum 8 times. I will be reporting you. |

That could be an interpretation, but then the fear of rejection would have applied to other aspects as well, like Nukumizu wouldn't have asked Yanami to be his friend, because of fear of rejection.
And also, being in love is not a decision. It's not like he decided that he won't fall in love because of these losing girls. You can't do that. If you could, these girls wouldn't be sad, because they could have just decided that they are not in love anymore.
| @ktg Asking someone to be their friend and asking someone to be their partner, is not the same thing, nor would one affect another, unless they found out that their character was awful and didn't want to associate with them any longer. Being attracted to someone is involuntary, falling in love or out of love is a conscious decision, based on the attitude of the person and/or how the relationship goes. You are talking about "feelings" like "Sadness" & "Happiness", which are separate reactions to "Love", and those are general feelings everyone has, but not everyone is "in love", so a person can be "Sad" or "Happy" whether they are in love or not. The Male MC is "Sad" & "Happy" in the show too, but he is not "in Love", he is reacting to the girls' different situations, he is empathetic. The girls have no reason in the anime to stop loving their chosen love interest. It is not like the guys broke their heart by cheating on them. The girls still love them even while they are with someone else. |

| Maybe at the end, but I hope not, because that would be too ordinary for this unconventional anime. |

Maybe I didn't express myself correctly, implying that I wouldn't like the anime if it didn't have a romance with the protagonist. but that's not it! not to mention that in many moments the anime is still very fun and sentimental I just wondered if at some point a romance could develop. not that this is necessary. and after all, we are talking about feelings, it is not something that changes from one moment to the next. But that doesn't change my opinion that a future romance with MC would be cool. |

| @Bixcuituu Thanks for explaining your thoughts more, that helped. If I had thought about it, I would have wondered what would happen as well, since they keep joking that he got dumped too. So you actually made me curious about this too. 🤣 |

teymarofc said: @ejleon My first statement is true, just wait and see, Makeine is a romantic comedy with a difference in the development of the characters which is very good. If you expect something different you will be disappointed, if I go any further it will be a spoiler. I’m not expecting anything, I’m following the current story. So far in the current anime story, your statement is false, the male MC is not pursuing anything and this is not a normal romantic comedy. And I did not ask for spoilers, nor did you give any warning for giving spoilers, please do not again when messaging me, when not asking for them. |

| I'm not sure how this show will go on with romance as it feels like it would defeat the purpose. It would be hard to successfully include romance in this show. |

I read the LN up to volume 7 and I tell you to forget this story if you're looking for a quick relationship development. Nukumizu has some light flirtations with several girls, but nothing has reached a serious development so far. And look, in volume 7 they're already in their second year and there's even a new kohai in the club, but no romance has been seriously developed yet.
So you're part of the crowd that roots for Yanami. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but in the LN, as time goes by, she becomes more and more friends with Nukumizu. It's possible that they'll eventually become a couple, but considering their interactions are much more about friendship and how sometimes Nukumizu feels explicitly disgusted by the way Yanami eats or how when she wants to share her bitten and drooling food with him, I don't see much of a romantic future for these two.

| @gustadrk Can't wait for the end of LN, which will prove everything you're saying completely wrong. |
| idk maybe much later, i'm not really interested in that at the moment tbh. there's countless other romcoms you could watch for that, but this one is making appreciate the friendship aspects even more. |
 |
| Who knows, we can only speculate at the moment, i think this anime has kind of a more "realistic" or rather "cautious" approach to romance, but it makes sense if you think about Nukumizu's personality and the fact that two of the three main heroines are really popular, though i'd also be curious to see it. I doubt that he will get in a relationship with Yanami, they are basically buddies. Not sure about the other girls but they don't seem out of the question |
