In recent years, many developed countries have faced severe challenges related to declining birth rates, and Japan stands out in this regard. Although both the government and the private sector have been actively discussing the causes of declining birth rates and seeking solutions, the results have not been significant.
Recently, Japanese netizens have engaged in lively discussions about the classic anime “Chibi Maruko-chan,” attempting to analyze the root causes of declining birth rates, which has drawn much attention. Next, let us explore the reasons behind this together.
If society continues to promote ‘free love’ and ‘monogamy,’ then a decrease in birth rates may be an inevitable result. Otherwise, why do we only see these guys like Ohya, Sugiyama, and Hanawa being chosen by the girls?
A Japanese netizen with the nickname ‘Shikipi’ recently used the students from Chibi Maruko-chan’s class to express his views on Japan’s declining birthrate issue.
He pointed out that in Maruko’s class, the popular guys are none other than Ohno, Sugiyama, and Hananaka. With society’s admiration for “free love” and the “one husband, one wife” system, the limited resources inevitably lead to some boys having fewer opportunities to get married and have children, driving the phenomenon of declining birth rates.
This argument quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens:
Shanyama may have been popular in elementary school, but after entering high school, his nose and skin condition may not be so good, and his popularity is bound to decline at that point.
When boys and girls argue or even get physical, Maruo always bravely protects the girls, disregarding the risk to his glasses; you really underestimate him.
You have no idea how great Changshan is! He is not only a low-key and hard-working academic star with excellent grades who is never complacent, but he also plays a key role in class affairs and is skilled at mediating disputes among classmates. He takes care of his frail younger sister, so he has a friendly attitude towards girls and is also a good friend of Hanawa.
I agree with your point of view, but if monogamy really changes to polygamy, wouldn’t it just allow Oya, Sugiyama, and Hanawa (especially the wealthy Hanawa) to monopolize all the girls? It is precisely because of monogamy that ordinary people can be saved.
Without a doubt, Longshan excels in interesting conversations. The charm of Huahuan does not lie in money, but in his appealing personality.
Looking at Huahuan’s background, it is clear that although he loves to show off, he is never arrogant. He always displays gentlemanly manners when interacting with others. He is excellent in both academics and sports, which naturally makes him popular with girls. Even during the rebellious phases of Ohya and Sugiyama, he is able to calmly advise them. Huahuan is truly a top-notch guy.
I might have the fortune of meeting a lovely girlfriend after starting middle school, while Pig Taro is also the type that marries relatively early.
If I were in this class, I would admire Nagayama, worry about Yamakoshi, be attracted to Koji’s cuteness, and at the same time feel somewhat intimidated by Ohno and Sugiyama.
Hanarou is not only wealthy, but also super gentlemanly and considerate. How could he not be popular? As long as Kenta doesn’t turn into a troublemaker during middle and high school, he will also be very popular. As for Hiraoka and Nagayama, they seem likely to lead very happy lives in the future. People like Kosugi, Hamazaki, and Yamada, who have kind personalities, also have a good chance of getting married in the future. The most unfortunate should be Fujiki.
Ultimately, it will depend on which university they attend and what career they choose; at that time, their life levels will undergo significant changes. If Kosugi becomes a doctor, then getting married will be very easy for him.
What does everyone think about who in this class is most likely to get married? And who is most likely to miss out on marriage?
