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 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, Keisuke thinks of him 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 crying, 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 showing 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 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. Also, Keisuke often has no knowledge of the Magical Girl Site whatsoever and is unaware that Nijimi is a vengeful angry magical girl.
 * 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 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 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 at all, and has some sympathy.
 * 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.
