Forgot to mention that this is for the TOP bold and underlined

i 500000% agree, i hate when shounen has unnecessary romance, and those dumb tropey girls. this isn't that, IMO. read on safely.

Literally me

Same... it feels kinda force-fed??? I'm glad it ended in comedy.

im so glad im not alone

Fr, it also feels forced and weird to me. I don't feel the chemistry at all.

It's cause yall aren't used to actual romance in shouted, its usually in the back burner or off scene. I actually can't think of a lot of recent shouted that has romance in a big portion of the story

I'm guessing you meant "shounen"? - - - this is typical for the genre, that much is true, but it doesn't make it any less cringe lol. If there's no chemistry, there's no chemistry.

But there are plenty of shounen where romance plays a big portion, (whether it's satisfying or not is a different matter...).

Nah if i found a romance possibilities in a shounen that i actually like and is not forced or cringe, i wouldn't mind at all. But this one is just not right, doesn't fit in to the story at all

I find that it fits the story quite well, iruma was raised with no love, he didn't receive any firms of love. Now he receives all kinds; family, friends and romantic love. This romance seems very shojo-esque. You also need to remember that in japan they take different steps and routes when it comes to romance. Not even married couples hold hands in public and old couples have separate rooms even if they still fancy each other. This romance seems about average compair to other romance shows out there that range from horrible and toxic to couple goals

I think you're missing the point... Other characters also hold romantic affections for Iruma too, not just Amelie. And you know what? I think his relationships with the others (male and female) feel more organic.

The worry is the manga going down an established couple route with a chara I feel doesn't give me pitter patters when she's with him. That's it. It has nothing to do with shounen romance cliches and nothing to do with Japanese romance steps. There's no problem with the fact that there IS romance in it, it's WHO is with.

And I'm gonna agree with that and I do not see what you are seeing. She inspires iruma, out of all of the characters, its ameri that makes iruma think of his future, no one else. A person who makes you think of the future and always inspires you is a GREAT partner.

I guess we agree to disagree.

All the characters inspire Iruma, even the villains, not just Amelie, so I don't agree with that statement. I have no problems with Amelie as a character or prospective lover, but the term for this is machinated writing.

When the author sets up something to happen a certain way, ending in a certain result. But that doesn't always inspire unanimous feelings from the readers. You and I are different and have different opinions and react differently. I respect that you see something between them that you like, but I don't feel the same way. Even if she is a great potential partner, like I said, it feels inorganic and force-fed to me, and I don't feel alone in this.

Ultimately, think what you want, I don't think anyone's preference is wrong. The only reason I'm replying is because your comments seemed to rub off the wrong way, as if implying we're in the wrong for feeling this way towards Amelie, even if it's not your intention --- when it has nothing to do with right or wrong, that's just how we feel about it.

Putting myself here cause I want it too

i think it is just because of morbid curiosity now, not bc i am actually interested in the story

We are all hate reading this

it's Stockholm syndrome at this point
