Manly voicing a woman: mickey mouse voice. Manly voicing the yandere guy: complete commitment, adds pauses, changes of tone, personality. I think things like these are what I love the most about your vids.
my thoughts exactly. they're not bad people, they're just a little unaware. despite that, they both stood up for lee when they saw that cro was doing shady shit
Ngl, I thought Lee was wayyy too bitter. Like let the couple be happy and mind your own buisness? Maybe take a nap or wear headphones if it bothers you so much
OMG this showed up in my recommended and I totally freaked out, thank you so much for playing, and I really really appreciate the honest feedback, I'll be sure to take them all into account in my future works! tbh I was a little hesitant adding in gorey scenes, since I didn't know how receptive players would be to it, but it looks like people enjoyed it overall so I'll probably be doing more of that in the future as for the secret ending route, the part that addresses manly's gaming history is a little easter egg variation that shows up if the system user's name is "manlybadasshero", but all the other content in the secret ending is basically the same for any player who deletes the safety key!
OMG it's the creator themself! Just wanna say I really enjoyed both of your games that Manly played. Cro in particular is a very enigmatic character and I especially liked the art style you have going on! This one def surprised me more with the twist. Although I've seen a handful of games implementing this meta trope with the antag already, it still gets me every time lol. Thank you for making this, and I'm very much looking forward for the next part (really curious to know about the "incident" mentioned here)!
Cro is a pretty refreshing take on the yandere characterization. He’s startling well-adjusted and maintains a rather good façade of a normal person until you get a glimpse of the sheer madness behind those eyes. That, and he’s a _smart_ yandere. Not saying yandere characters are dumb, perse (far from it), but it’s obvious that he’s incredibly perceptive, cautious and knows how to keep his insane love under wraps well enough that most people wouldn’t immediately be able to tell (if Missing is anything to go by). That, and if Cro is genuinely supernatural, then Lee is in for a world of trouble. A yandere with power is a terrifying AF.
I disagree, Cro is nothing but a generic stereotype of cute outside and crazy inside yandere love interest. He also isn't really smart as he acts by impulse (killing the couple) and makes a lot of mistakes such as saying your name without you telling him, him predicting your drink in a very small span of time and failing to drug your tea without anyone noticing. I understand it is for foreshadow but I think it should be more subtle. Of course this doesn't stop me from loving him, I'm such a loser sucker for these types of insane characters but I genuinely believe that objectively he's not that great. In fact I think Missing portrayed him better because it showed him being more cautious, he tried to let you go to reduce the liabilities, he made you think he fell for your trap but he actually didn't and also acted really normal in general, showing that he had planned beforehand possible excuses like the bloody gloves being because of hunting yet still looking creepy asf. But again, I'm still mad crazy for him even if I feel he's really flawed, already switched my pfp to him in my social media.
If yanderes where smart then it’ll end the exact same way serial killer movies ends, the victim always win. If they don’t then we get another movie yay! :D
@@MarineSelena I entirely agree, and I still love Cro. (Though I prefer his portrayal in Missing better.) I just wanted to add something, and this may be a stretch so take it with a grain of salt. But I kind of just chalked up his more impulsive actions in this game to excitement/nerves with seeing who he's been wanting for probably years. (A decade or something if I remember correctly?) Would probably make you act a little bit out of character. Just my interpretation though.
Ok, how rude is this employee? Asking if you're hitting on him and then saying you have bags under your eyes! And following THAT up with a creepy "you look perfect"... Oh and next he uwus and sits down opposite you? Yeah, I'd be locking myself in that bathroom. And don't think I didn't notice you knowing my drink order when I didn't say it, ya protagonist-lookin' weirdo!
Okay, but Lee’s Mom had to know about him and this risks that came with sending her back. She also knew how remote the place was and she didn’t send anyone to guard her just in case something happened.
Either she forgot (less likely), she didn't know (considering Lee herself doesn't remember), or she simply doesn't care what happens to Lee. But I do have another theory. Since Cro clearly isn't human, there is the possibility that she tried to tell her mother and father about Cro, but the mother didn't believe her, since it seems like she has enough power to dig into it and search for Cro's info, but never found anything, maybe thinking Lee was just imagining things... A shot in the dark but I think it's a possibility
@Guineapigrose While I’m quite late, her mom might not have known about him as they might only know what happened there not what caused it. Also Lee clearly states that she forgot what happened so how would she know?
"You're spoiled, that's why I've coddled you for far too long. You do nothing all day but stay in your room and play video games." And I took that personally

I've gotta say, Manly's voice acting performance is incredible! It's insane how natural you make the threat sound. You're not forcing your voice, and with that tone of threat, it's truly terrifying. Someone NEEDS to get this man into full on voice acting
it'd be great if he could play paranormasight, there'd be a variety of charas for him to voice there! (tho nicoB's playthrough of it was quite good as well, i'd love to see a collab one day but most likely not happening)
I will admit I kinda prefered the "spectator" thing that was going on in MISSING, I think it was really fresh that you weren't the yandere nor the victim.

Here it's more obvious.

Her name, her drink order, the fact that she's coming "back" to the town... I noticed several of those little fridge horror moments and I liked that Lee didn't. It doesn't fling it in your face, but instead lets the unease build.
@@suitov I noticed it too. I guess that’s why once that third ending smacks you in the face with that name reveal, it shows just how much Cro had control over the little world if this game.
Isn't anyone gonna talk about manly's voice in 32:40 and further cause like I'm just so ecstatic about it and it really captures that weird eery feeling most villains have and also for how smooth it is. Also this part made me shiver for every word out cause it was just so nicely delivered lol
6:15 how did he know the main character wanted green tea 😱? She didn’t get to say she wanted green tea because her sudden big yawn interrupted her, yet Cro somehow knew that’s exactly what she wanted and NOT the black coffee?!?! Does Cro have some kind of mind-reading superpowers or something?? 😳
If i were in that situation, my dumbass would've been the same. i would be oblivious to the fact that some random dude that i just met knew what drink i wanted
Honestly I really like how, during the fourth wall break, instead of being interested in the player Cro just likes Lee. So he severs your connection with them, which is how I'm assuming we get to the next game. Along with the game Missing, it just feels refreshing and nice in the more subtle ways.
@@famtheevilcat7447 I'm pretty sure it's a prequel. He mentions Manly playing the previous game because that was the first game he played, not the first in the timeline. Otherwise, I'm not sure why the Lee would even be missing in the first place, or why Cro would be a suspect.
Manly, you NEED to go into voice acting because when you voiced Cro saying "It's not your fault" I had a panic attack it was so evil 😂😂 just a VISCERAL feeling of dread and fear, I actually can't finish the video lmao Funomenal job!
I'm so unbelievably happy this game is out. I've been following the development for around 8 months, and idk if I've ever been this excited for a game!
Anyone else notice that Lee didn’t tell Cro her name nor green tea for her drink? She was about to say she wanted green tea but hadn’t actually said anything yet…
It was literally suspicious but now I know that dude probably know Lee before and it's really creepy af I swear if someone I don't even know or never knew their existence yet they know me, they called out my name and know what drink I want I would have an heart attack. It's scary man. I literally have fear of those yandere people.
The ManlyBadassHero Cinematic Universe is getting SPICY now! Can’t wait for Cro to enter the Indie Horror community to recruit the most terrifying and difficult horror icons to stop Manly from saving poor Lee. Imagine all the creators join together to make a game with each of their art styles and gameplay, only to go against Manly.
There have been some games in the past where manly’s name have triggered an event (usually just a line of dialogue as a gag), but I wanna see a game where if your name is Manly/Manlybadasshero, Cro shows up and does something.
I love characters that not only break the fourth wall, but do it so well. I’ve never been so happy, yet creeped out at the same time, I even felt a little flattered even if it was manly being complimented. Absolutely love it, and am so glad to see more games by the creator!
sus cro moments leading up to reveal: 5:51 --> why call a stranger perfect? at best we reassure them with 'oh no ur fine' but he straight up calls Lee, A STRANGER, perfect 6:10 ~ 6:44 --> knows that player wants green tea even though Lee didn't say it (interrupted by yawn) 7:59 ~ 8:14 --> his smile falls when the text reads 'i'll just offer to pay a part of the bill' and at 8:14, when Lee voices it, he just. changes his mind. immediately. even though he wasn't sold on the idea earlier 9:52 --> usually we hear soft footfalls, no? a bit weird that he was so quiet, but it the character could've been occupied due to her phone 15:01 --> MAJOR SCENE: his hand glows, and Lee's tiredness is gone. must be supernatural, or maybe he messed with the game files? note that he needed direct skin contact 16:00 --> major yandere vibes, since he looks a bit unhinged 16:26 --> notice his eye widen as he holds out his pinky and stares at Lee 18:28 --> 'so that's where you've been ' indicates that he knew Lee pretty well before since he knew she lived at Border Springs but she left him & he didn't know where she went (which is shown at ending 3) 21:12 --> Lee never gave Cro her name, so it's incredibly unnatural for him to say it UNLESS 1. he knew her before & somehow still remembers her name or 2. he can read the textboxes, both of which appear to be true based on above (and below!) evidence 22:11 --> the couple is gone, which MIGHT NOT seem interesting, but in ending 3, we know Cro killed the girlfriend's boyfriend cause he saw Cro putting powder in Lee's drink, then turned boyfriend INTO a drink, so that could've possibly happened in ending 2's route as well, which could be why at 21:21 he heads to the dining room (where boyfriend will become drink) and why the couple disappeared 22:25 ~ 22:46 --> although Lee drank a caffeinated drink, she still felt tired enough to be UNABLE TO MOVE HER LIMBS and even fell asleep in a stranger's embrace, thus suggesting that she was drugged. in addition, Cro removed his gloves but didn't exhibit any visible powers 23:57 ~ 24:54 --> Cro absolutely, 100% knew Lee before in order to speak like this. also, the 'promise' here could be the reason why he looked so crazed in ending 1 when we did the pinkie promise? 26:21 --> Lee starts feeling uneasy as soon as the missing safety key option is chosen. could've just gone with 'you took the cup from Cro and set it down to cool' but NO, had to feel uneasy huh? maybe safety key was also forcing Lee to feel more at ease around him - possibly why in the first two endings she felt so relaxed 'like [i] could be [my]self' around him and also why she just. fell asleep in his arms in ending 2, since she should've fought slightly against sleeping with a stranger 28:32 ~ 28:35 --> never mentioned him being off-putting AT ALL in the past 2 endings?? even stated that he was nice to be with. again, safety keys could've been messing with Lee? 29:17 --> really doesn't wanna drink, even though earlier endings described it as some damn good tea that entire part in ending 3 where he forces girlfriend to dRINK BOYFRIEND??? THERE'S A WHOLE ASS IN THERE JESUS WTF CRO GODSDAMN also the weird hypno ring eyes then, ofc, the 4th wall break and that part where he severs your connection to Lee, the playable character other: 25:01 ~25:19 --> who is this?? obviously, after ending 3, upon trying to replay the game, Cro states that we 'weren't supposed to see that'. this means that this cannot be Cro, cause why would he give the player a chance to see something he wants to keep hidden?
The last point, it could be the player musing to themselves, or it could be the creator dropping hints. We know from the 3rd ending that they canonically exist in-game, after all.
I can relate to Cro, a lot actually. You know what stopped me from being a horror game antagonist? Minecraft. Why go crazy and act foolish over a girl when you can just play Minecraft instead?
I bet cro is meant to be a fallen angel of sorts. He was around Lee when she was younger, made him fall from grace, he doesnt understand human emotions and so on. Idk but it’s possible imo
me personally when someone asks "have we met before" my first thoughts arent whether or not they're hitting on me, but then again, the only time i've ever felt the need to say that is to someone i had a crush on
The delivery of all the words in the scene were Cro was forcing the girlfriend to drink her lover was phenomenal. The complete lack of emotion in Cro's words was just... Chilling.
Hear me out: Cro is cute. Not in the lovey-dovey kind of way, he genuinely feels like a friend I've known forever. Plus, he's caring? Like, who wouldn't want a friend like that?! I want to give him a hug sm😭
I bet Cro and Lee were childhood friends before the accident happens. But Lee had to go to the big city. But Cro had a BIG crush on her. So he went yandere mode-
Honestly the yandere concept is just so strange and scary to me, the word itself refers to someone simply being lovestruck and yet in anime it is showcased as someone developing a harmful obsession towards the person they love.
Technically, the word translates to love sickness, or “sick love” to be more precise. Hence, the Japanese portmanteau refers to crazy lover characters.
I think "yan" means insane, while "dere" is lovestruck. So yeah, nothing's wrong with the wording, if you want to refer to someone simply being lovestruck you'd say "deredere" (デレデレ)
I think obsession and love are mutually exclusive. Obsession is an extreme form of infatuation (being extremely lovestruck). Infatuation may develop into love. So the term fits. A yandere's feelings didn't develop into a mature love.
@@TheTheninjagummybear the sole essence of the trope is problematic. But it has this specific fantasy twist to it which the demographic longs for within fictional bounds.
Ooh, this was great! I quite liked that Missing game, good to see more from this developer and their memorable Cro. He's as creepy as ever, just charming enough to make it believable that people would missing the warning signs before it's too late. I also deeply appreciate that special segment at the end, I always love seeing Manly get a nod. This was even better than I was expecting, can't wait to see what they do next.
Let me guess Lee saved Cro ( where she heroically stands in front of Cro) from bullies when they were all in the playground I'll just pretend ending 1 is canon Ending Print is just for Manlybadasshero
The way he does the voices make the games so much better because of how the monotone sound mixed with the subtle creepiness, it’s so chilling it makes it so much better!
Cro is so freaky in the 2nd and secret endings, but the 1st ending adds a whole other level to it. He someone removed the effect of the drug on Lee, so easily too. It raises several questions _and_ concerns.
I hope the creator make a special edition game on where Cro challenges Manly. And Manly becomes the horror detective to catch this yandere. That has longer and interestingly story will test Manly's horror gamer skill. "Catch me if you can. Mr. Manly. "
There is something i noticed...If you look at the girl in the poster of missing you will notice that she looks shockingly similar to lee here. So i think that this crow actually locked her somewhere. (I think i am not the only one who noticed this but for those who didnt here look at the missing game for reference.) And also our main protagonist in the missing game was petunia soo...
i love how much the art improved, i adore the style! edit: the art for the pinky promise scene was really nice. cros wide eyed expression was cute but you could sense his intensity. good allusion to the dark side of his character!
Is it me or do I just hear Komaeda’s voice when reading Cro’s lines. Bottom line, I’ve seen this character’s face in thumbnails before but never checked it out. I thought he was adorable and had a general assumption of what he’d be like. But after watching, his façade IS EVEN CUTER!! And the meta twist was a pleasant surprise. Kinda reminds me of Ogre from the rpg horrors. Loved it, Cro is best yandere game boy 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thanks for playing Manly! ☺️
Hey Manly, I wanted to thanks you for all the content you produce! You made me discovered so much indie game (Like Hello Charlotte for example!) and I felt like thanking you for that! I'm really happy to see you still here doing content! Love you and take care 😘
I absolutely looooved the secret MBH ending! It’s so well played! Actually made me freak out a little bit 😱 I really liked the game in general but I have to admit that the secret ending was a whole cherry bottle on the sundae! Overall well done! I cannot wait for the future games from this creator! 😍

The creator is A freaking genius. She's gonna have you come back.Because you have to know what happens next and she addressed you directly! That is the biggest brain move i've seen Ever!
Manly using his Ikeman voice is great and I love it. Also, love the twist that the annoying couple were actually trying to help Lee. (Although they probably should have went to Lee instead of confronting Cro...)

6:15 how did he know the main character wanted green tea 😱? She didn’t get to say she wanted green tea because her sudden big yawn interrupted her, yet Cro somehow knew that’s exactly what she wanted and NOT the black coffee?!?! Does Cro have some kind of mind-reading superpowers or something?? 😳
he already knew her, so likely just inferred what she wanted
@@real-aether I mean yeah lol he is a yandere he's probably memorized every little thing about Lee.
@@buliontro but she wrote that she never tried it yet. I think its more likely be just knows everything in the game’s code
He probably saw what choice manly picked since this is a break the fourth wall game
If i were in that situation, my dumbass would've been the same. i would be oblivious to the fact that some random dude that i just met knew what drink i wanted
Honestly I really like how, during the fourth wall break, instead of being interested in the player Cro just likes Lee. So he severs your connection with them, which is how I'm assuming we get to the next game. Along with the game Missing, it just feels refreshing and nice in the more subtle ways.
@@famtheevilcat7447 I'm pretty sure it's a prequel. He mentions Manly playing the previous game because that was the first game he played, not the first in the timeline. Otherwise, I'm not sure why the Lee would even be missing in the first place, or why Cro would be a suspect.
DDLC
@@Marcuskwok-hn5yi It's kind of the opposite of DDLC
Monika likes the player, Cro likes the character
Manly, you NEED to go into voice acting because when you voiced Cro saying "It's not your fault" I had a panic attack it was so evil 😂😂 just a VISCERAL feeling of dread and fear, I actually can't finish the video lmao Funomenal job!
mfw funomenal
I'm so unbelievably happy this game is out. I've been following the development for around 8 months, and idk if I've ever been this excited for a game!
Protag : and a gentle expression
Manly : a gentle expression… FoR MuRdEr!!!
Anyone else notice that Lee didn’t tell Cro her name nor green tea for her drink?
She was about to say she wanted green tea but hadn’t actually said anything yet…
It was literally suspicious but now I know that dude probably know Lee before and it's really creepy af
I swear if someone I don't even know or never knew their existence yet they know me, they called out my name and know what drink I want I would have an heart attack. It's scary man. I literally have fear of those yandere people.
its probably because he can see the game's code
The ManlyBadassHero Cinematic Universe is getting SPICY now! Can’t wait for Cro to enter the Indie Horror community to recruit the most terrifying and difficult horror icons to stop Manly from saving poor Lee. Imagine all the creators join together to make a game with each of their art styles and gameplay, only to go against Manly.
That would take a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG while to make cause of Manly doing lots of uploads
There have been some games in the past where manly’s name have triggered an event (usually just a line of dialogue as a gag), but I wanna see a game where if your name is Manly/Manlybadasshero, Cro shows up and does something.
@@vincere4591 or the game becomes significantly harder, with cameo hunts from many other games.
There's something about the conductor design that I really like
I simp for him.
He's kinda
the hair and eyes
also those lovely expressions yum
He is babie :³
kinda like kaworu
The girlfriend sounding like mickey mouse really got me 😂
Bro sammeee 😂
Wdym she clearly sounds like minnie mouse😤😤😤😤😤😤
Micky mouse's long lost twin 😮
I love characters that not only break the fourth wall, but do it so well. I’ve never been so happy, yet creeped out at the same time, I even felt a little flattered even if it was manly being complimented. Absolutely love it, and am so glad to see more games by the creator!
Love how he called the protag perfect when she asked about her eyebags
Sir, thats not how you answer the question
I think the creator message being passed on as well as Cro being well aware of Manly was super cool actually
I loved that line. “I can see why you’ve garnered such a reputation amongst the… _horror_ community.”
sus cro moments leading up to reveal:
5:51 --> why call a stranger perfect? at best we reassure them with 'oh no ur fine' but he straight up calls Lee, A STRANGER, perfect
6:10 ~ 6:44 --> knows that player wants green tea even though Lee didn't say it (interrupted by yawn)
7:59 ~ 8:14 --> his smile falls when the text reads 'i'll just offer to pay a part of the bill' and at 8:14, when Lee voices it, he just. changes his mind. immediately. even though he wasn't sold on the idea earlier
9:52 --> usually we hear soft footfalls, no? a bit weird that he was so quiet, but it the character could've been occupied due to her phone
15:01 --> MAJOR SCENE: his hand glows, and Lee's tiredness is gone. must be supernatural, or maybe he messed with the game files? note that he needed direct skin contact
16:00 --> major yandere vibes, since he looks a bit unhinged
16:26 --> notice his eye widen as he holds out his pinky and stares at Lee
18:28 --> 'so that's where you've been ' indicates that he knew Lee pretty well before since he knew she lived at Border Springs but she left him & he didn't know where she went (which is shown at ending 3)
21:12 --> Lee never gave Cro her name, so it's incredibly unnatural for him to say it UNLESS 1. he knew her before & somehow still remembers her name or 2. he can read the textboxes, both of which appear to be true based on above (and below!) evidence
22:11 --> the couple is gone, which MIGHT NOT seem interesting, but in ending 3, we know Cro killed the girlfriend's boyfriend cause he saw Cro putting powder in Lee's drink, then turned boyfriend INTO a drink, so that could've possibly happened in ending 2's route as well, which could be why at 21:21 he heads to the dining room (where boyfriend will become drink) and why the couple disappeared
22:25 ~ 22:46 --> although Lee drank a caffeinated drink, she still felt tired enough to be UNABLE TO MOVE HER LIMBS and even fell asleep in a stranger's embrace, thus suggesting that she was drugged. in addition, Cro removed his gloves but didn't exhibit any visible powers
23:57 ~ 24:54 --> Cro absolutely, 100% knew Lee before in order to speak like this. also, the 'promise' here could be the reason why he looked so crazed in ending 1 when we did the pinkie promise?
26:21 --> Lee starts feeling uneasy as soon as the missing safety key option is chosen. could've just gone with 'you took the cup from Cro and set it down to cool' but NO, had to feel uneasy huh? maybe safety key was also forcing Lee to feel more at ease around him - possibly why in the first two endings she felt so relaxed 'like [i] could be [my]self' around him and also why she just. fell asleep in his arms in ending 2, since she should've fought slightly against sleeping with a stranger
28:32 ~ 28:35 --> never mentioned him being off-putting AT ALL in the past 2 endings?? even stated that he was nice to be with. again, safety keys could've been messing with Lee?
29:17 --> really doesn't wanna drink, even though earlier endings described it as some damn good tea
that entire part in ending 3 where he forces girlfriend to dRINK BOYFRIEND??? THERE'S A WHOLE ASS IN THERE JESUS WTF CRO GODSDAMN also the weird hypno ring eyes
then, ofc, the 4th wall break and that part where he severs your connection to Lee, the playable character
other:
25:01 ~25:19 --> who is this?? obviously, after ending 3, upon trying to replay the game, Cro states that we 'weren't supposed to see that'. this means that this cannot be Cro, cause why would he give the player a chance to see something he wants to keep hidden?
The last point, it could be the player musing to themselves, or it could be the creator dropping hints. We know from the 3rd ending that they canonically exist in-game, after all.
I remember the old game, the art style was pretty unique, i wonder how this one will go
I can relate to Cro, a lot actually. You know what stopped me from being a horror game antagonist? Minecraft. Why go crazy and act foolish over a girl when you can just play Minecraft instead?
This is the correct answer. Minecraft now, Minecraft forever…. 👁️👄👁️

"Can I put my minecraft bed next to yours?"
Most reasonable explanation my man I feel you😔😔😔😔
I bet cro is meant to be a fallen angel of sorts. He was around Lee when she was younger, made him fall from grace, he doesnt understand human emotions and so on. Idk but it’s possible imo
14:55 the shiny hand 🫲✨
I love the way he nails the nervous personality for cro, ✨perfecto✨
ikr!!!
REAL
finally found this comment after spoiling half of the game for myself 💀
*C A W*
me personally when someone asks "have we met before" my first thoughts arent whether or not they're hitting on me, but then again, the only time i've ever felt the need to say that is to someone i had a crush on
I forget people's faces easily so most likely it wouldn't be my first thoughts either
I honestly ask a lot of people if l met them before because l am terrible at remembering people
The delivery of all the words in the scene were Cro was forcing the girlfriend to drink her lover was phenomenal. The complete lack of emotion in Cro's words was just... Chilling.
Cro is just the lovechild of Komaeda and Ashe Bradley...
TRUE
LMAOAOAOA
Not sure who Ashe is, but I always thought of Cro as a love child of Komaeda and Monika
NAHHHH
@@SirLuckySlimeYep.. like, seriously, in this community the "self aware yandere" trope is so common it makes me sick!!!
I love how manly gives Cro a softer and more feminine voice than Lee, who essentially gets his normal dude voice
love the deeper-voiced woman rep ♡
Manly is going places within the indie visual novel horror community
Hear me out: Cro is cute. Not in the lovey-dovey kind of way, he genuinely feels like a friend I've known forever. Plus, he's caring? Like, who wouldn't want a friend like that?! I want to give him a hug sm😭
Its pretty cool and creepy that the creator placed that meta ending option for you. Was not expecting that.
Cro took a wrecking ball and completely destroyed the 4th wall 😂
You wre-e-eck meee! Oh yeah - you wre-e-eck me-
I love the way Manly's line reading brings out the story
I bet Cro and Lee were childhood friends before the accident happens. But Lee had to go to the big city. But Cro had a BIG crush on her. So he went yandere mode-
Oh no 😢 I feel so bad for the couple who tried protecting Lee after witnessing what Cro did…now they have to pay the price! 💔
“her moms still kinda attractive”
Ain’t no way 💀
Edit: bro y’all are down bad 💀
I mean...
hear me out...
aw hell naw I’m out
@@BlackGuy8450 come back hear me out......
@@MythicalNinja I wouldn't mind hearing you out..
Honestly the yandere concept is just so strange and scary to me, the word itself refers to someone simply being lovestruck and yet in anime it is showcased as someone developing a harmful obsession towards the person they love.
Technically, the word translates to love sickness, or “sick love” to be more precise. Hence, the Japanese portmanteau refers to crazy lover characters.
It's a very problematic trope, to put it lightly...
I think "yan" means insane, while "dere" is lovestruck. So yeah, nothing's wrong with the wording, if you want to refer to someone simply being lovestruck you'd say "deredere" (デレデレ)
I think obsession and love are mutually exclusive. Obsession is an extreme form of infatuation (being extremely lovestruck). Infatuation may develop into love. So the term fits. A yandere's feelings didn't develop into a mature love.
@@TheTheninjagummybear the sole essence of the trope is problematic. But it has this specific fantasy twist to it which the demographic longs for within fictional bounds.
Ooh, this was great! I quite liked that Missing game, good to see more from this developer and their memorable Cro. He's as creepy as ever, just charming enough to make it believable that people would missing the warning signs before it's too late. I also deeply appreciate that special segment at the end, I always love seeing Manly get a nod. This was even better than I was expecting, can't wait to see what they do next.
Let me guess Lee saved Cro ( where she heroically stands in front of Cro) from bullies when they were all in the playground
I'll just pretend ending 1 is canon
Ending Print is just for Manlybadasshero
Ending Print still appears for everyone. The additional message in the ending for Manly was just for him.
The red eyes give a really cool effect, especially when you are trying to read the text, he’s always there, watching.
The way he does the voices make the games so much better because of how the monotone sound mixed with the subtle creepiness, it’s so chilling it makes it so much better!
I like how Manly doesn't even hesitate when Cro asks to sit by Lee's side (edit:Stop giving me notifications im playing clash royale)
Hehehe 🎉
Cro is so freaky in the 2nd and secret endings, but the 1st ending adds a whole other level to it. He someone removed the effect of the drug on Lee, so easily too. It raises several questions _and_ concerns.
13:38
that hehe was terrifying but yet soothing to me. help
I hope the creator make a special edition game on where Cro challenges Manly. And Manly becomes the horror detective to catch this yandere. That has longer and interestingly story will test Manly's horror gamer skill.
"Catch me if you can. Mr. Manly. "
That would be epic/awesome,Fun (maybe Challenging?) game to play.

What a silly shy guy, I hope he isn’t a sociopathic murderer :3
:3c
I always love it when creators put in an extra thing for manlybadasshero, be it an Easter egg or otherwise, it's always nice to see!
I love that Manly's getting more popular, he's always deserved the attention :p
anyone else notice that Manly is always down bad for the mother
Why does the conductor look like he's about do do a Persona fusion for me?
velvet room cro would be crazy
just make his eyes golden and he'd fit right in with the other attendants
Oh god I see it 💀
During the ending of the ending “Sweet Dreams” Cro acts like a friend i know, my friend’s super clingy to me so I’m just like “Yep this is fine”
Manlys voice acting is AMAZING you are so cool
cro's dialogue with lee after the tea party genuinely made me uncomfortable, kudos to manly's voice acting
"you look pale as a sheet"
yea no shit you just turned a guy into a protein shake
if you put aside the occasional psychopathic behaviour, Cro seems like a good person.
There is something i noticed...If you look at the girl in the poster of missing you will notice that she looks shockingly similar to lee here. So i think that this crow actually locked her somewhere. (I think i am not the only one who noticed this but for those who didnt here look at the missing game for reference.) And also our main protagonist in the missing game was petunia soo...
It was lee
i love how much the art improved, i adore the style!
edit: the art for the pinky promise scene was really nice. cros wide eyed expression was cute but you could sense his intensity. good allusion to the dark side of his character!
Is it me or do I just hear Komaeda’s voice when reading Cro’s lines. Bottom line, I’ve seen this character’s face in thumbnails before but never checked it out. I thought he was adorable and had a general assumption of what he’d be like. But after watching, his façade IS EVEN CUTER!! And the meta twist was a pleasant surprise. Kinda reminds me of Ogre from the rpg horrors. Loved it, Cro is best yandere game boy 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thanks for playing Manly! ☺️
I was having good giggles when Manly tried to hint "cro" as Crow even doing the "kaw" sound.
Hey Manly, I wanted to thanks you for all the content you produce! You made me discovered so much indie game (Like Hello Charlotte for example!) and I felt like thanking you for that! I'm really happy to see you still here doing content!
Love you and take care 😘
I absolutely looooved the secret MBH ending! It’s so well played! Actually made me freak out a little bit 😱 I really liked the game in general but I have to admit that the secret ending was a whole cherry bottle on the sundae! Overall well done! I cannot wait for the future games from this creator! 😍
Ngl, can't wait to see more from this creator
Kinda fond of Cro, an interesting and unique spin on the yandere trope
Also people in the comments saying he's a "Komaeda Character" omfg 😭✋️
I love this game, the art style and storyline is amazing.
He's getting good at voice actings lol
I love me some good artstyle and obsessed killers
It's fabulous and terrible how good Manly is at villain voices. 😂👍
The creator is A freaking genius. She's gonna have you come back.Because you have to know what happens next and she addressed you directly! That is the biggest brain move i've seen Ever!
I hate how nice and innocent a lot of these characters act yet how disturbing they turn out to be
Damn how's it feel to have a yandere know you so personablely Manly?
@@famtheevilcat7447 this made me chuckle, thank you
Ah yes any day with a manly badass upload is always a great day (even more so on a Saturday)
I really didn't expect this game to get THAT meta
The creator definitely likes Manly's content! She even wrote special lines for him and Manly thought it was just the game being meta!
Well, I didn't know Makima had a child. Look at those eyes
I went back and watched your Missing video. I really invested in the story now! Can't wait to see more from C2PHOS
Oh when I saw the train conductor I remembered what game you were talking about, I love this art style
I love how the creators made an ending shoutout to Manly. Ominous positivity!
Manly using his Ikeman voice is great and I love it.
Also, love the twist that the annoying couple were actually trying to help Lee. (Although they probably should have went to Lee instead of confronting Cro...)
13:37 You can't help but find it cute
Manly in the least girly voice possible: 🧔♂️ *HE HE*
IS NOBODY ACTUALLY GONNA SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MANLY'S VOICE ACTING???
his voice acting will forever be my fav
His voice is like dark chocolate.
@@aino-kaisav5504 weirdly enough this makes sense
Can we talk about Manly's voice acting for Cro?... It sent shivers down my spine, the good kind... Amazing job, sir😅😂
I just noticed manly sounds like Micky mouse when he talks as the gf 💀
The amount of times that I was screaming "HOLD ME LIKE THAT CRO, PLEASE ME NEXT PLEASEEEEE" There's something wrong with me.
Cro. Lee. Crowley.
Really makes you think.
Best voice acting award goes to... Manly!
5:10 hearing the CAW just is making me think of Manly's streams of RE4 remake recently and Leon turning into a crow in his villain skin lmao
