I ended up putting this on hold on Mangadex cause I wanted to wait for it to finish releasing to see how I felt about the whole thing, but I remember feeling kinda "meh" about what I read cause the Otaku guy kinda feels like a pointless character most of the time.
I think the point of him was to assist their relationship at this point basically
Yeah, he's meant to be a wingman, but the way it's all handled he feels like he's just a plot device to move the story forward instead of an actual character that is helping move the story forward.
I know that sounds like the same thing, but I'm just terrible at explaining my thoughts. It just doesn't feel good to me. Like, Mio in I'll Cheer on my Yuri Onee-chan fulfills the same kind of role that Otaku does in this one, but I actually like him. He feels like an actual character rather than something that exists solely to move the plot forward, even though that is functionally what he does.
