Dekiru Otoko

when your dearest wish will get granted and then turns your life upside down in a suffocating way
the one you longed for turns out to be very pushy and neglects your feelings, deciding everything for you.
the heroin has to fight with newfound feelings and his own confusion

this story describes on the other hand the sadness of this a succesfull man
when thinking you could never love and when you do, not being able to hold in your overpowering feelings , and practically crush it

the art is really pretty
this mangaka can draw so many beautiful expressions, also the characters have gorgeous looks and are captivating in their own way

reading this won't be a waste of time
i totally enjoyed this story
tough it'is pretty fast, it's really heartwarming =^-^=

I spent most of my time reading this in a state of, “this is ridiculous; why am I still reading it?” I guess, at one point I was struck numb by how terribly the story was playing out and just had to wait it out; it was like a special case of catatonia. The main issue for me was that jerks are jerky-jerks and it’s hard for me to buy their apologies and the—meaning to be heartrending—motives behind their jerky-jerk actions. The secondary issue is how—rape aside—the victim falls in love with someone who’s never there or that he barely has any interactions with. How does that even work?

However, the 5th chapter, while it didn't make up for the previous ones, made me laugh because it was ridiculous, too, but it was supposed to be. Even though it features the same characters, I think it’s still funny even if you don’t read the first four chapters. This is adapted from a novel series by Fuyuno. Ebihara mentioned in the atogaki that the main characters had slightly different profiles in the series, so I’m hoping that this departure means that the original might have actually been good.
