EDIT: ch24 is also out. To avoid creating a new disc thread, I’m editing this one.
Summary of this series:
Just like in Otomege, Chounin A starts with a male protagonist (Allen) being forced by his sister to play a shitty otome game, kicking the bucket, and reincarnating into the game as a mob character. He is “Village A” - for the sake of the game he’s just another character to die.
But beyond that, both series are nothing alike. Chounin A is more serious, it’s geared towards a monogamic romance, and Allen is likeable and level-headed person, willing to work hard since childhood cleaning sewers to avoid his and his isekai mother’s deaths. And to save the villainess, as in the name of the story.
Why save the villainess? Because upon analysis Allen concluded that she’s the only decent character from that shitty game, unlike the heroine and the love interests.
For those who like novels, note that the light novel version of the story has been fully translated already. It’s a hundred or so chapters.
Chapter 24:
Wow, the LN describes Gerard as a gorilla. It’s fitting, the guy towers over Allen-kun. And he is not too eager to mince words, as shown by him asking Allen if he wanted Anna.
Allen’s answer was rather sensible - “I’m aware of the difference in our statuses” doesn’t put any side down, but it’s a polite way to say “I’m not doing it for this reason”.
And now he got a dinner with the ojou-sama~
For reference this should be ch44-44.2 of the light novel. I encourage people to read those because, while the story is the same, it’s more fleshed out.
