New girl reminds me of the film club president from the author's earlier work " My Younger Senpai". Similar face and hair but taller, tanned, and buff as fuck, lol. Hopefully she becomes a good supporting cast member in hooking the two main leads up.
Also, even if Kataoka is open about his desires about chubby women, at least he's respectful enough to not touch Shiina without consent. Slowly but surely, we will see them date in the future. Thanks for the update!
