School Days' Makoto Ito Endorses Manga Volume 4 with Obi Comment
Volume 4 of the manga adaptation of "Did You Think You Could Live Normally in a World with a 1:5 Male-to-Female Ratio? ~When Girls with Heavy Emotions Are Toyed with by an Unaware Guy~" was released on June 26. The obi (book jacket) features a recommendation comment from Makoto Ito, the protagonist of the visual novel and anime "School Days." Ito's comment reads: "Who decided you have to focus on just one person?" The manga, illustrated by Momoyuki U and based on a light novel by Kōtarō Sandō, follows Shōto, a man transported to a world where the male-to-female ratio is 1:5. His respectful treatment of women, rooted in his original world's values, unintentionally charms them, leading to possessive and sometimes stalker-like behavior. The series is serialized in Monthly Shonen Ace and has been running since 2024. The original light novel author also reacted on social media, calling the endorsement a "hot cheer from that legend." "School Days" was originally released as an adult PC game by Overflow in 2005 and later adapted into a 2007 anime known for its shocking romantic drama.
