We still do not know about that. Just because the other two lacks the main male character with a character, it doenst mean that teh girls themselves will be the same.

Though Nene doesn't really seem to be capable to do anything serious with that gag manga length. In fact it doesnt seem to be capable to do anything.

Manaka on the other hand is at least looking promising to at least give the Manaka personality even if the male lead is just a faceless background item.

But yeah it is a problem that main male characters do not speak or like in Manaka's Day's case do not even have a face.

Why? Becuase manga is not game. In game you can go with faceless main male figures that do not speak at all simply because the player will be able to connect with that character because he will be playing the situations from that guys eyes and usually add his own feelings and personality to this shell, but in manga you do not have such connection and making a faceless guy who does not talk seems like a very very bad idea.

It's even worse when we consider that we do not really have a lead-in teh relationship and already start with couples going-out which furthermore kills the possible connections to the characters.

I have to connection to that 'male lead' whatsoever. And since many guys like to connect with male figures such story looses a lots of attraction and it would not be so bad in Shoujo manga because the main readership would be girls connecting with female and faceless main guy though annoying would not be that bad, but in a manga which seems to be aimed to shounen this seems like a grieve mistake to make.

Well, will see how it will turn out though I do not have any hopes for Nene Manga. It just seems that goddamn awful right now. Manaka Days is still under a question, while Rinko Days seems like the only one worth to follow at this moment.
