Aito's role in the series

[skycloud117]

Is it just me, or does Aito's role in the series seem less of a character and more of singularity?

I feel the story is always focus on everyone else and Aito is like this almost "Godlike" being capable of basically anything and how other people view and deal with the concept that is "Aito".

It feels like he doesn't necessarily have character depth given his straightforward/bright/happy-go-lucky nature, but his existence can be seen through the eyes and character depth of the others.

2 things i want to say,
1st, i like your sig
2nd, thats damn complex what you just said about a nonsense series like this

Im unsure if im understanding you correctly, but in regards to what you said, this is a harem. As such the girls always get a lot of focus as hell thats what people are interested in. Aito aside from him being a panty obsessed pervert is by all accounts pretty talented, decent looking and rather kind though being a pervert usually spoils it. His good points draw people in and even with his pervertedness they usually ultimately see his heart was in the right place and forgive him. In this i dont think its all that different from other series with similar genres. The plot premise and the interaction of the characters is entertaining though.

In the end Aito just defines the the lucky pervert type i come to know from reading and watching such series.

Well, the thing is Aito just doesn't feel like he has any "real" feelings for any of the girls.

Hell, he even just clearly stated that he loves panties more then he loves Mihari. I think he honest and truly is the ultimate Pantsu-Otaku.

He openly likes panties and cute things (even if they are male). I just don't feel any romantic intention from him. Kind of like a kid, you can't take what he says very seriously but when he DOES do something that someone normal can't do it makes it all the more epic.

Also from the girls perspective I think the only one who real and truly has any "Real" feelings for the guy is Mihari

i think what TC is saying that rather than having a personality Aito is the embodiment of the happy go lucky pervert. it is like the concept of ghandi, we know little of his personality but we know alot about what he represents and what we do know about him is through the stories of the people that glorify him. in this case Aito is not glorified and we see him through the eyes of a few people.

in many harem we at least know the male characters inner feelings to some extent, as for aito, he is an enigma. just what is he thinking besides panties? its not clear, and thats why he is grand like ghandi

I'd say that Aito is the exact opposite of hard to figure out, I'd say he is really well defined rather than mysterious and enigmatic, for the purpose of the joke the author deliberately gave him an extremmely silly personality. This is a comedy manga we're talking about and Aito is constantly the instigator of the comedy, the jokes revolve around Aito so it's important that he gets defined early, in this instance he is a goof-ball who has a panty obsession. It's really easy to make fun of a character like that.

The reason it's mostly from another perspective is probably to help the joke go better, I mean, if the joke was coming from the perspective of the person who is being made fun of it would instantly be not a very funny joke and instead it would seem a bit mean. Plus it is always funny reading someones opinion of someone else, it sort of plays on a more primitive instinct of humans, and that is the instinct to gossip. You're almost gossiping with the other characters and conversing with them about how "That Aito is so silly."

But I like you guys' other ideas too.

Mihari would probably beat you to death for that comment, but on a serious note he does care for the girls that are around him but he just has a weird fetish mixed in. He shows how much he cares for them in the weird things he does he just messes up at the end always. Aito's character is that of the idiot who is very honest with himself, plus remember the fact that he has never interacted with a girl before Mihari in high school and never been in a relationship. You cant expect him to know about a girl's heart and how to treat them. Unlike you probably who has converse with girls and know what they like and what they don't like. You got to remember we are talking about an idiot who believes its natural for the girl you love to show her panties, and who went on television to tell the world that loving panties is ok. Although i am kinda curious where or how did the obsession with panties started.

his personality is the main reason why this manga is funny. you can tell coz he is surrounded by bunch of cute girls. too bad coz he like pantsu which is the reason that it is embarrassing to read.

[big_baby]

Am I seeing Aito starting to have a character development? '_'
