What the fuck is up with japan and romance? 90% of the anime barely has handholding, you watch X episode of love as a main/side plot only that it ends in characters blushing and looking at each other. What the fuck.
Asian are not the type to do physical contact and seems like youre not reading or finding the type of manga that actually does that.Read more manga fag.
>avoid romance anime
>watch shonen anime with "romance" plot
>surprised there is no real romance
Watch more shoujo.

Read VNs for romance.

>watch more Beverly Hills 90210
Yeah no. Shoujo is garbage

>manga where romance is not the main plot
>it's not even a side plot

>>manga is often drawn/written by shut-ins and socially awkward people
Not really.
>>160913982
I think OP doesnt understand how relationship works too seeing he only wants all the good stuff but nothing else. He should just read hmanga.

It's not about porn, it's about holding back something as simple as fucking KISSING for hundreds of chapters.
Japs can't feel love
>>160913968
You don't know what fujo means.
>>160914289
Sometimes a kiss isnt as simple as you want it to be, it can be used as important turning point plot wise to hype up the series back and trying to retain readership, might be related to the manga target demographic, trying to milk the readers with current direction or a kiss wouldnt fit the character development at present time and shit.I'm just talking generally here on the reason why.If a kiss scene is needed then author would probably do it.You probably knew this already but just want to vent.
>>160913459
I feel you OP
I think most of the time it's just good old cliche japan.
They just like to repeat the same thing over and over again.
Also what >>160914505 said
Especially about
>trying to milk the readers
>>160913459
Because you only read manga for guys.
