Anyone else think that Tadano has a pretty bad case of impostor syndrome?

He only now realizes that he just doesn't see himself as worthy of having someone like him, or to be with him. Whatever positive qualities that Manbagi and Komi see in him, he never saw them in the same way or at all. The qualities they see just aren't there for him, he doesn't see them, and doesn't feel like he's worthy of having them or is just faking at having them.


Maybe that was a gut-punch for me thanks to my own life stuff but drat, it resonated.

I think that is an entirely accurate read on him, particularly given his entire shtick in the series is totally average and unremarkable guy, and that he's apparently been burned in the past. And yeah I'm there with you.

Komi and Tadano have been pretty obviously into each other for a while. Good on Manbagi for not setting herself up for disaster.

Maybe the three of them will all get together later. Higher chance of that with this honest start, I think.

Yeah really. This was some excellent self-awareness and communication around feelings on both their parts, despite all the awkwardness. It's a major growth moment for both Manbagi and Tadano as characters, and models good relationship practices for readers. It may even be a deliberate pivotal moment for the comic, given that one of the main themes is overcoming barriers to communication.

Absolutely. But impostor syndrome is part of Komi's thing too, which is why they're so well-suited to each other. One of the more endearing parts of this comic (for me) is watching them figure this out in parallel and grow together in the process.

There are plenty of anime adaptations that are improvements over the manga. Just off the top of my head, Kaguya-Sama, Fire Force, Jujutsu Kaisen, Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter, Nichijou, Chihayafuru, Death Note, Gintama...
