The Loser's Theory of Happiness

[Main story and paid extras complete] / Free extras still being released. (A friendly suggestion for new readers: if the opening is hard to stomach, try sticking it out through the first volume. You might find it easier to enjoy after that _(:ᗤ" ㄥ)_. After all, I want to tell a story about the growth of an awkward boy. Well, those of you used to needing stomach medicine can pretend I didn't say that.)

Also known as The Loyal Sidekick's Guide to Raising a Protagonist. Originally titled The Youthful Romance of an All-Purpose Loser Girl, Told Through Raising and Lowering Flags.

In this world of rampant materialism, can we have fewer schemes and a little more sincerity? In short, this is a story about a loyal, all-purpose male side character caught in a "battle royale" of male protagonists, who chooses just one from among three thousand beauties. No giving girls away, no harem, no philosophical talk. The male lead isn't dense or a pushover. He's calculating and has a rather suggestive way of speaking. If that's not your thing, you can leave now.

One heroine, with sweet moments and angst. There may be a few scenes that resemble a "battle royale" but don't quite count as White Studies. The heroine is absolutely secure. The worlds of My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected and Saekano have been incorporated. No White Studies, I mean it. (Laughs)
