Keisuke Naoto

Keisuke Naoto is a recurring character of the psychological horror magical girl manga/anime, Magical Girl Site. He is the store's cashier and the Pop star fan of Nijimi Anazawa who secretly works for the loan sharks of Nijimi Anazawa's family.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) For starters, he is introduced as a creepy obsessed fanboy (or a Japanese sasaeng) of pop star Nijimi Anazawa, but his existence is likely since the author of Magical Girl Site probably wanted to add more male characters and not introduced a lot of females.
 * 2) The main problem with him is that he doesn't even do anything to the story or the Magical Girl Site (website) itself when he gets additional screentime.
 * 3) He is a very unnecessary addition to the series and has no purpose other than being filler to the greater narrative of the story.
 * 4) According to Aya's brother, Kaname, he thinks of Keisuke to be "an epitome of trashiness" who is "quite naive lazy and aggressive".
 * 5) He's a stereotypical fanboy of a Pop star idol, Nijimi Anazawa. But, he is obsessed with her, making him nearly a pedophile and sasaeng since Nijimi is 14 years old.
 * 6) Similar to Aya, Keisuke comes across like a sore loser with his life practically revolved around falling in love with Nijimi. But, when he realized Nijimi took a break as a pop singer, Keisuke fainted and cried, only for him to be driven to suicide because of that incident, and Kaname saved him.
 * 7) He was even naive due to wanting to be friends with Kaname even there were signs of him hiding his true nature.
 * 8) He is much of a lazy store cashier since he doesn't bother to work hard to pay back his debts with the loan sharks of Nijimi's family.
 * 9) In episode 3 of the anime adaption, he is very disrespectful to a renter while he is watching Dog Play live shows.
 * 10) Like Kaname, He is shown to be aggressive when someone interrupted him while he was watching Nijimi's Dog Play stage despite he hasn’t made any crimes until using a knife to kill Kaname for loving Nijimi. Also, Keisuke is unaware that Nijimi has a vengeful angry personality until his death.
 * 11) He serves no purpose to the greater narrative to the story, but only exists to give Kaname some dramatic tension surrounding his stress relieving and barely tries to be a comic relief.
 * 12) He even spends most of the majority doing absolutely nothing in this story other than filler.
 * 13) After learning Kaname met Nijimi and thought he corrupted his angel and is now dating with her, Keisuke went on to use a kitchen knife to kill Kaname. However, he ended up killing himself when Kaname used Nijimi's mind-controlling panties to forced him to do it.
 * 14) He barely gets much characterization since chapters 7-35, and episodes 3-8.
 * 15) He doesn't even act like an independent 25-year-old, and is just a whiny young working man who will never grow up.
 * 16) He does not associate with Aya and the magical girls, and he's just self-inserted throughout the series and is a complete stranger.
 * 17) After he died, Keisuke is later forgotten, making him one of the most pointless characters in this series until he was revived in the new timeline by Aya.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His voice acting is good.
 * 2) His character design is well-made and honestly cute.
 * 3) At least despite her obsession with Nijimi, he is not a pedophile and wasn't shown to do juvinile things.
 * 4) Since being like a sore loser, he is not at least evil or mean-spirited at all, and has some sympathy about dealing with Nijimi's family's loan sharks.
 * 5) He didn't kill Kaname (who uses Nijimi's panties to control people), which would make him nearly a muderer.
 * 6) When Aya went back in time to prevent other girls from misfortune, thus he is no longer driven to suicide by Kaname's mind-controlling, no longer worked with Nijimi's family's loan sharks (who are arrested in the new timeline) and was engaged with his girlfriend, who moved away in the original timeline.

Trivia

 * In the apple chapter of the DVD release of the anime adaption of Magical Girl Site, he was revealed to have a mother, who is exclusive to this chapter.
 * His hairstyle is based on Yuji Tonogaya, from Magical Girl Apocalypse.
