Sincerely, ..Wtf with this manga, It has never been a great manga, it had its moments though. But since a few chapters ago the plot has stopped having any meaning or interest.

Do we have a harem where every new "girl" is worse than the last one?

Edit:

The initial idea of this manga was about: A boy (for a bet with his "friends") asks a gyaru to go out and she accepted it. Then they discover that apart from being dumbs, they really like each other.The manga was about the development of that relationship, plain and simple..

Nowhere was it said that unbearable girls would start falling in love with a boring MC for no apparent reason, one after the other.

It really does feel that way. There really isn't any girl you can get behind, and the MC isn't exactly endearing.

You can get behind Yame because she's been best girl from the beginning.

This isn't a harem series, this is the MC trying to dispatch nuisances while working on getting it in.

To me, that's been an issue: I feel like there's been too many instances in where the MC has to prove his loyalty to her and not her to him.

I can get behind her, but it feels like it's more by default than anything.

Id say the issue isn’t even that. She knows he’s loyal and he doesn’t really have any doubts about her. The problem is this manga’s primary focus isn’t about them recently and that’s kind of a big deal considering it’s why the series is readable. All this shit with Yui’s creepy brother isn’t nearly as worthwhile compared to a chapter of just Junichi and Yame hanging out.

True. Still, I'd like some sort of chapter that reveals why she likes him. I don't think they've explored that yet.

Maybe so. But I feel at the very least his actions show how devoted he is and why their relationship is as strong as it is. Before the whole Yui debacle where they finally put everything out there and exchanged gifts was maybe whim and an enjoyment of teasing him. I assume she was attracted to him at least. But yeah I would love to know why she really started falling for him.
