This story shot itself in the foot, by going from 0 to 100 in the first chapter. You have them living together and planning to get married before they even know each other. So the story has only one place to go and that is to plummet downwards in flames. She loves him for dubious reasons and is very flirtatious at any given opportunity, teasing him incessantly, so Japan being Japan, and this not being 18+, the result is that this good looking and athletic MC turns into the most spineless and simpering beta (more like omega) male possible. This guy is the furthest

point possible away from being red blooded. He even faints when she gets in the bath with him. This is not fiction, this is incomprehensible fantasy with no grasp on reality. As a man, I find this offensive. I know Japan is caricatured as the home of the chased and the timid, but this MC's nature pushes the envelope to the extreme. This healthy young man should be bristling with testosterone, and in no way would be able to hold out against the FMCs provocation. The fact that he is this mess of contradictions just leaves the whole plot in tatters and on the floor. Is this some fanciful female wish fulfilment fairy tale?
If the MC is supposed to be some "ideal man" then the author is delusional with absolutely unrealistic expectations to expect that such a man could even exist, even in Japan. At best this could be considered as slop. Calling it comedy is also dubious. Maybe the humour is cultural or lost in translation, but I can't recall a single incident that caused the edges of my mouth to curl up one little bit. It has left me frustrated and angry due to my inability to sympathise with this castrated MC.
