I remember being a kid and reading the manga because the art looked interesting. Each chapter was only a couple pages. But it was chapter after chapter of this dude being a tool and a doormat for some popular girl who just pretends he doesn’t exist in public and I stopped because I figured it was just gonna be pathetic the whole time.
Have some god damn self respect.
I don't even remember what happened in the first twelve minutes, I just vaguely remember that it was some blend of off-putting and tedious. Like, at least with the other anime I've quit mid-episode, I can recall what specific thing made me go "Nope, I'm out!" — not Nagatoro, though! Hell, did I even see 12 minutes of Nagatoro, or was that just a weird dream I've convinced myself was real?
