Keisuke Naoto

Keisuke Naoto is a recurring character of the psychological horror magical girl manga/anime, Magical Girl Site. He is the store 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 creepily obsessed fanboy (or a Japanese sasaeng) of pop star Nijimi Anazawa, as he only existed so that the series will add more male characters and not introduced a lot of females, but makes him a filler character.
 * 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 screen time.
 * 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, thinks of Keisuke as "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 as a sore loser with his life practically revolving 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. But making him a crybaby unlike Aya does not make him as a courageous man.
 * 7) He was even naive due to wanting to be friends with Kaname even though 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) He is also 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 he used a knife to kill Kaname for loving Nijimi. Also, Keisuke is unaware that Nijimi has a vengeful angry personality when  he dies.
 * 11) He serves no purpose to the greater narrative to the story, but only exists to give Kaname the tension of his "stress-relieving" and becoming a “god”.
 * 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 along on 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 a self-inserted male character 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.
 * 18) He also doesn’t even find out about Nijimi’s anger issues and Kaname’s harsh education and abuse from his father when he died in the original timeline.

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) He was at least good friends with Kaname (only in the manga) before he killed him.
 * 5) Since he's 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.
 * 6) He didn't kill Kaname (who uses Nijimi's panties to control people), which would make him nearly a murderer.
 * 7) He is not like a fat NEET and is skinny.
 * 8) 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.
