Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie
 i dont know what happen with it, it getting popular due to people blame mc as weak person n the girl as dominant here LOL. im personally dont care if the mc is alpha, beta, charlie, delta, etc all i need just any entertain stuff here also never imagine to be self insert like the MC. FYI mostly mc anime over 80% from them are beta male especially in romance genre, only shoujo that portait alpha male dominantly. if u dont like dominant girl or cool cute girl simultaniously then the show isnt for u. idc also about the girl if shes sub or dom, all i want just enjoy light romance about small things moment. n also dont expect any char development since this is slice of life genre so char development isnt a must except u just a noob that take every something seriously LMAO  |

| I’m really confused but he’s not a beta or any other type of male lmao |
| I also don't care that much if the mc in this show is alpha or not as long as it is entertaining to watch. |
 |
| This anime is showing that it's fine to be a beta. Anyone who complains about that is missing the message. |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
Nothing at all boyo I guess a few usual haters are just pissed because of projection and self-hate |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Most of beta MC is just boring. I'm just waiting for the omega one tho. |
| Nothing wrong with a beta mc and dominant gf, I'd say we need more of this tbh |
 |
| The terms alpha and beta are really getting overused even though the terms literally doesn’t apply to humans. Dude’s just submissive. That’s the term you may be looking for. |

| I don't mind a timid MC at all, but judging from the first episode, I feel like Izumi is going to be used as a device to show how awesome Shikimori is rather than an actual character with his own personality. i'll still watch a few more episodes though, i've had a few people tell me it's going to be better. |
| It's not s problem that he is "beta". It's because he is bland, as deep as a puddle and as interesting as Kiroto. |
 |
| There's nothing wrong with a "beta" MC period. |
| are you talking about yourself? but you don't have a girlfriend unlike mc who has better look better personality,better friends,love by female anime fans (IRL) and cute girlfriend |
Nah dunno just guess then ^_^ takamono said: I also don't care that much if the mc in this show is alpha or not as long as it is entertaining to watch. This, should more people just enjoy the show otherwise just stop it, get used to it lah this world not only for u POGGGGG nothing more to say Sometime although ur right but true speak is not allowed for certain moment but it has been happened. So whatever happens, happens 1st eps showed without told us whatever about theirs pas relationship so it would be tell after few eps later, im still wondering why shiki prefer the boy like him, still dunno what reason behind it. Not Like kaguya prefer him coz his smart, marin love him coz he is pro designer, etc N finally turn into yuri then lived in isekai dress rosa land ? Yes I think so |

Kdog1998 said: What people are missing in this equation is that Izumi is lowkey a 'waifu' himself, if you're only looking at him as this pathetic misfortunate guy, because the girl is the cool one who often has to save him, and not the other way around, it definitely will not be an enjoyable show. Nothing wrong with a beta main character, I think it is just that people do not find him interesting so far. Also, there is the concern that he will not be anything more than a plot device to show off how good the girl is in this series, which based on the first episode I can understand this concern. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
Violet42 said: It's not really a joke at all, sometimes it's funny, but never in a way that's supposed to be outright insulting to Izumi. Izumi is basically just "what if shoujo heroine, but guy". but honestly the issue is that the joke of it is kind of underplayed. They need to go harder on it, or he just comes across as pathetic. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| I mean the title says it all, the series is CENTERED around Shikimori so it's understandable that they want to show a female lead's dominance, and having a beta male lead is fine despite his bland characterization, as long as Izumi is not one of them who takes other peoples harsh words too deeply on himself and there are others like Izumi who exist in this world and may relate to him plus Izumi is comfortable being weaker than Shikimori in this series though this series may do harm on him which what makes others really pissed off but that's just what he is in his overall personality and he doesn't give a shit of what let others harm him. |

Violet42 said: Some of it is funny due to the nature of the role reversal, but as I said, it's never mean-spirited, it's supposed to be cute/wholesome. If you can't appreciate Izumi being cute almost as much as Shikimori, then you won't like the series. Despite what MAL seems to think, this is absolutely a SOL show through and through. LostSpectre said: It's not really a joke at all, sometimes it's funny, but never in a way that's supposed to be outright insulting to Izumi. I mean, it could be a good bit, Teasing Master Takagi-san mines some good humor out of Nishikata loving a shoujo romance and not realizing how much he has in common with the heroine. It's not that there's anything wrong with a role reversal, it's that the turning of expectations is a classic source of humor, and as it stands, Shikimori is a really boring show that needs SOMETHING for spice. |

The haters are basically the same peeps that can't understand yuru camp and non non biyori "Slice of Life - Slice of Life stories are focused on a seemingly random and mundane period of the main characters' lives. The absence of a central plot to carry the story towards a charted destination means Slice of Life stories frequently lack overarching conflict and resolution. While life is not without conflict and Slice of Life neither, here conflict appears and dissipates seemingly at will, without a specific narrative to enforce it. Slow story pacing or episodic storytelling does not equal Slice of Life. Drama/Romance stories can be slow and soft while maintaining a central plot of human/relationship struggle. Comedy stories may lack progress and have mundane settings, but they have narratives focused on eliciting laughter rather than amusing moments happening naturally. Thus, Slice of Life is incompatible with Comedy, Drama, and Romance by definition." |

I lived but he fucking died |
| There is nothing wrong with them. I just prefer female MCs who I think are better than beta, alpha or any male in anime... |
 |
| Problem is he literally has no personality and is boring Nobody likes a bland mc mate |

BlueOtaku2001 said: Humans aren't wolves. There's no such thing as a beta or alpha male in humans. It's just made up crap by idiots on the internet who think they're experts on politics and how humans work. I can't remember where I got this from, but I think it's really concise to say "the alpha-beta spectrum is basically astrology for insecure men." |
| It feels that the MC being wimpy is part of the gimmick. Shikimori is not just a cutie but a cool gal. Based on episode one, I thought there had to be a paranormal aspect to the show because Izumi's bad "luck" is something else. |
 |
| The problem is that as of now he's just a tool (not even a character) crafted to make Shikimori look cool. There are "soft nice" guys like Iruma (who also get along with a stronk girl) who are enjoyed better. |
