You know, I'm starting to notice that people who throw insults or defamation at someone tend to project their true selves onto them. So when a girl calls a guy an idiot in manga, they're really calling themselves an idiot ... which is true in a lot of cases, and this one is no exception.

The childhood friend is just as much of an idiot for not snagging MC earlier before a complicated arranged marriage took him away, as are many other losing childhood friends who took too long to make a move, and/or are just too toxic to them and not take accountability for their treatment towards them.

As usual in Japanese manga, the ML touching FL even with mutual understanding and being already engaged is RISKY BUSINESS where everyone might "get hurt"...

Just stop already Japan, just let MLs and FLs interact like real actual people and not fear some landmine plots where everyone has a dark past and will flip out if touched because blabla when they are kids...
That isn't even a thing here, so why do they act like they are treading on glass. Keeping every emotion and even a random letter as secrets that cannot be exposed on risk of "someone getting hurt".

Because "Misunderstandings" are a key pillar of Japanese Light Novels/Manga. Without it, you've lost probably about 45 percent of plot narrative. And it sells, so it's simply a response to customer demand. Asking that to be changed in manga is like asking the sun not to rise the next morning. Studios gotta make bank. Let's face it, the majority of people reading this are doing so for escapism purposes. There's very few extremely popular manga that reflects real life and sells volume in the same way shoujo/seinen romantic comedies do.

Her immediately tripping after that "don't hurt my daughter" talk had me thinking she was going to somehow end up with a black eye or something lol

I was contemplating dropping this off the basis of what you're getting at.

Like the entire setup is contrived sure but does author not realise that just being in the vicinity of someone for a decent amount of time is enough to build feelings perfectly naturally. Physical contact is perfectly normal, sharing feelings is normal, trying to understand someone is normal. Like as soon as they accept their feelings for each other and agree that they like each other this series has to end since the author has no idea what to do beyond that point.

This is completely lacking Reiwa energy.

what is it with the trope of girls hurling abuse or insults at guys they like?
it's so old and overplayed.
"hurr durr, I'm gonna call the guy I like a stupid asshole and scumbag. It's only a matter of time till he turns to love me"
