Who is the most clueless male protagonist?
-
I haven't read all the LNs listed yet, like Dendrogram, but I think Ichika (IS) and Rekka (Apocalypse) are at the top of my list so far.
Rekka is even told that there's a damn war because of him not choosing a partner over the others and he is still so dense he doesn't even think about it. There aren't many that can beat that lol
-
@terabyte I have read all of JNC's titles except for two, so I'm feeling like I have my own opinion on who's the most clueless. I'm also getting a sense of what titles people have read and which ones they haven't.
-
Rekka and Ichika for sure
-
Rekka from Little Apocalypse is definitely number one... the whole premise is based on his cluelessness.
Ichika from IS is a solid second, although I partly blame the romantic interests in that one for not making it easy on him.
There are other bad ones, but none nearly so dense as those two.

Reality is nothing; Perception is everything. -
@flarecde I don't know. Akuto from Demon King Daimaou gives Ichika solid competition.

True, I forgot about that once since I haven't been reading it recently. IIRC the girls in that one don't give him much to go on either though - not to mention fate or whatever itself seems to have it out for him.

I vote for Ichika Orimura (Infinite Stratos) out of all of the books I have ever read he appears to be by far the most clueless out of anything I have ever read even outside of J-Novel.
The second most clueless would be:
Gin Imose (My Little Sister Can Read Kanji)The ones I haven't read
Kanie Seiya (Amagi Brilliant Park) - Watched anime, will read eventually
Naoto Miura (Clockwork Planet) - Watched anime and read manga, will read eventually.
Akuto Sai (Demon King Daimaou) - Watched anime, will read eventually
Veight (Der Werwolf: The Annals of Veight) - Will read eventually
Koutarou Satomi (Invaders of the Rokujouma!?) - Watched anime, will read eventually
Taichi Yaegashi (Kokoro Connect) - Will read eventually
Orphen (Sorcerous Stabber Orphen) - Watched anime, will read eventually -

@paul-nebeling Bakarina's black hole tier denseness is probably unbeatable.
I kind of want to see what would happen if Bakarina met one of these dense male MCs
I mean can you imagine what would happen if she met Ichika? I'm sure the two of them will get along fine, but their harems?
