omg same. I was looking forward to the guy getting jealous and actually chasing for the girl at some point, but sadly it was always the girl doing the chasing, which was a big disappointment for me. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I empathize with her insecurities, but I can only respect her willpower.
I really do wish that Touma had a rival and that people would understand how much words can hurt... It hurts to constantly be called ugly after all, and get mocked for it.
I used an "I don't care" attitude where I simply don't get involved and think that I do not want to be with them, so seeing her confronting that shows she's really a stronger person.
But yeah, it's nicer to see the guy Touma get jealous for once...
The characters in this story are refreshing but one thing doesn't sit well with me (and so many Shojo/Josei manga), it's the girl usually chasing the man. I mean this is 2016, it's not a big deal. It shouldn't be a big deal in the first place. It's just for me, I don't like when girl chasing the man. I'm not old fashioned, I'm an ancient fashioned person, the era where men wooing their girls. This is why, I'm leaning towards YAOI where usually the Seme works hard to get the uke. I know not all but I mean most yaoi manga, that I have read. I'm digging a shojo manga where the man chasing the girl like LAST GAME. That manga is like TOP TIER in my list, more than any shojo/shonen/yaoi manga I've read so far. Kaichou wa Maid sama too.
