Makoto Itou, the infamous protagonist from the legendary school romance series "School Days," has once again stirred up the ACG community! He recently penned a blurb for a new romance comedy manga that's teetering on the edge of a full-blown love triangle (or pentagon, perhaps?). The internet, naturally, went wild.
The manga blessed by Makoto's "wisdom" is "Is It Wrong to Live a Normal Life in a World with a 1:5 Male-to-Female Ratio?", which just dropped its fourth volume. Makoto's recommendation on the book band? A truly "soul-shaking" declaration: "Who the hell said you can only pick one person?!"
Kotaro Mito, the original light novel author, couldn't contain his excitement on X (formerly Twitter), exclaiming how thrilled he was that his "yandere harem" manga received such enthusiastic backing from *that* "legendary figure."
Once the post blew up, netizens flooded the comments with a mix of amusement and dread: "Seriously, don't end up like *that* legendary figure..." Others quipped, "Uh... congrats, I guess? lol" and "Don't you dare show up, Makoto! LOL" One particularly witty comment even turned the tables: "Exactly! Those who want to execute Makoto Itou don't have to be limited to just one person either!"
So, what's "Is It Wrong to Live a Normal Life in a World with a 1:5 Male-to-Female Ratio?" all about? The story follows a male protagonist who suddenly finds himself in a new world where women vastly outnumber men. Using his "normal" world common sense and a genuinely kind demeanor, he treats the women around him with respect. Unbeknownst to him, this kindness steadily builds up affection, leading the girls to develop an intense, almost yandere-level attachment to him.
And who exactly is this "Makoto" making a surprise cameo? He's none other than the infamous protagonist of "School Days," the adult game released by Japanese developer 0verflow back in 2005. What started as a seemingly innocent school romance quickly spiraled into a nightmarish thriller, complete with tangled love triangles, out-of-control emotions, and a truly murderous ending that still haunts many to this day.
Having this "scumbag senior" throw his weight behind the new manga has definitely ignited a massive buzz. But it's also got plenty of netizens sweating bullets for the new protagonist's future, because let's be real: Makoto's blurb is basically the ultimate fuse for a full-blown harem explosion!
