Some time ago, the manga of Sleep Bisque Doll has been discouraging its readers. What started out as a fun romantic comedy has turned into a drama, tiring out fans due to the lack of progress in the story’s development.
Stagnant Characters: Gojo and Marin Don’t Advance
The protagonist, Gojo, doesn’t take action and doesn’t confess to Marin, which makes her seem more and more distant. This is especially evident in the most recent chapter.
Sleep Bisque Doll Development Leaves Japanese Fans Unhappy
After Marin’s success at Comiket, she receives an offer to become a professional cosplayer, but without Gojo’s involvement. Gojo, unaware of this offer, feels like he is losing Marin, which makes him depressed. When he finally talks to Marin and asks her about the next cosplay she would like him to do, she responds that she doesn’t need it anymore.
Both Western and Japanese fans are unhappy with the direction the manga is going. Here are some comments from Japanese fans:
- “Is this the attitude of a romantic comedy heroine towards the protagonist?”
- “Why did it end up like this? Instead of cosplaying and enjoying a romantic comedy, why didn’t he just stick to that?”
- “The plot is so bad it feels like a normal day.”
- “I don’t care if there are depressing plots, but it’s been going on for a long time.”
- “It’s starting to look like the publisher has overtaken the author.”
- “This manga really made the protagonist very unlikable.”
- “Nagatoro-san, an underrated work, was 100 times better than this.”
The development of Sleep Bisque Doll took an unexpected turn from traditional romantic comedies, surprising many readers.
