No way. Keima is getting way too popular with the ladies.

This girl just keeps digging her own grave, coming out for a brief moment, then falling back in again.

Ahhh manga world what has happened. Everywhere same copy-paste, no originality whatsoever.

What is that shoujo version of TWGOK ... at least twgok has more to it than just otaku gamer.
Last I remember there was a thread on animesuki about another manga of otaku gamer who used some kind of diary, for the same purpose ...
I mean cmon copying something popular jeeez how chessy can they be.
Wonder why did even editors gave green light to this (even art is mediocre at best).

[EssTEss]

This is...quite sad

This doesn't look like a rip off of TWGOK to me though...basic concept is similar but story is...strange.

Copying and pasting isn't a very valid argument for any kind of creative material. Everything is fundamentally a copy, of a copy, of a copy. An element of story, regardless of conveyence (manga included) has been used somewhere else, some other time before. As for the art, it's not the most amazing, but it's quite above decent and it's not all that bad. The actual story/plot is quite different from TWGOK despite the similarities.

How do you date guys for over 50 years in otome games......

Kuroki reminds me of the guy from NHK ni Youkoso!....

[Irenicus]

Gentlemen, easy now. This is not TWGOK clone, and she's not really Keima, at all, whatsoever.

She's just a sweetheart who has a little trouble with social life. Keima's different. He doesn't have problems with social life (he's pretty damn good at it when he needs to, if you haven't noticed), he just doesn't give a damn.

Rather than TWGOK clone it's more of an indulgent little slice of life manga about the antics of a troubled socially awkward teenage fujoshi. A pretty fun one.

The other "otaku guy" manga was annoying because 1) it was a man 2) there was some kind of supernatural thing involved so it feels like it took out page out of Kaminomi 3) he was a shitty lolicon 4) there were girls into him, even his loli little sister for whatever stupid reason we don't care to know. This one has none of these.

That said, somebody want to go burn that fatass pig in the latest chapter with me? How dare he made the precious thing misunderstand, the fucking otaku.

[SidVicious]

She's cute.

Her troubles with social life are familiar to me.

lol wut? Did you even read the manga? This is nothing like TWGOK, only similarities between the two is that they both start off as outcast and that's it. This is about a girl who thinks she's all that only too realize how much of a freak/unpopular person she is. It's more of a dark comedy with some slice of life elements while TWGOK is a harem/comedy series.

Anyways enjoyed Choku! he's previous series.

I read the first couple chapters this afternoon and thought, "You know, this is a lot like Choku, only not as twisted." Should've realized there's a reason for that.

So does this mean Choku's done?

[judasmartel]

So since we already have the female moe tropes, how about male moe / manliness tropes in Visual Novels?

the scanlation still not indicating any of it. The last chapter is Nao will stay with her because the irresponsible mother followed the shotacon girl advice to go abroad

for this series, it's a dark comedy about a girl with socializing problem. But the drawing is nowhere near good I prefer Choku than this one in term of eyecandy

[Cosmic Eagle]

Well the art style adds to the cynical feel...

Baka Updates lists it as four volumes in Japan and still ongoing.

Finally read this.
The MC looks creepy and cute. Yet i adore he willingness to try to be popular and have friends. Too bad she's shy and bad at trying. lol

I will keep reading this.

It's easy enough. Many dating sims cover several in-game years. Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side games run over 3 years, for example. If you clear 5 guys in one game, that's 15 years piled up. 5 guys per each TMGS game (3 so far) and you've got 45 years.

And one playthrough doesn't take more than a few real-life hours, so if anything I'd call her an amateur if she's only dated 50 years worth of guys so far. Try 5,000 if you really want to impress me.
