He also has his sharp tsukkomi skills and deadpan delivery, which always keeps the vibe between him and the girls stable at being a manzai comedy show, and never allows it to veer into "romcom" territory.
With Luca and Pomu... there's no comedy element. Luca is just confused, possibly embarrassed while Pomu is playing around with him, and the vibe just becomes like one of those Korean highschool romance shows where the MC finds his crush flirting with the school chad in front of the gates.
If you self insert as the chad, it's a niche type of fun when watching these shows or reading the manhwa.
But Luca is an actual person and not a blank stereotype, and his response is not always that of a dense romcom MC.
Hence the audience can't self insert, and it just becomes an NTR show. That too, without hentai, so not even coomers can get off to this shit.
