YOU'RE TOTALLY SPEAKING MY MIND! IT'S JUST SO TIRESOME TO WITNESS THE STRONG GIRLS ACTING LIKE THOSE Annoying lovesick maidens !! I came from the Anime as well, and so far, I can see Enishiro isn't swayed by girls, he just loves Kasubata, one major flag is: He literally said he imagined if Kasubata ever left him like that BDSM girl left the prankster guy, then he'd be very unsettled too...hahaha!
Now Idk how this author operates either, I refuse to read the other Mangas mentioned here, but that situation of Prankster saying he loved that BDSM girl since their first meet was really not expected as how the big guy with romuta always stayed by his side and even getting upset at the reveal.
Anygays, I just hope Souji doesn't get romantic feelings for anyone and lives his life well. Otherwise this would be another story of MC having a harem of girls and all girls falling for him....
hahah sorry but kasubata is hasumi's they are inseparable and vice versa, but i also agree the romance between the mc and master is too cliche
altho the only romance I'll support or admit is the rope bondage girl x fisher hook guy duo but dang that guy ( after she dies it reminds me of yuta now from jjk) and the jamazon senpai is also a duo i love
----
a different matter idk why i feel like the K plot was like not as satisfying like his battle was tooo soon or a bit rushed

So far I like this manga, came here from the anime and I finally managed to catch up! The only concern I have is crush situation around the mc. I really wish for the manga to stay well with no main love interest or romance with the mc ... But I am not familiar with the author so I cannot speculate anything also this fandom is so small ahhh I cannot find anyone to talk ab the manga with. Bromance is on another level here at some point i questioned myself how this is not Shounen ai haha srs everyone has a thing for Souji huh? But srs I wish for his master to well remain master and apprentice relationship, idk what you guys think just im tired from the common romance end game in manga.
