Some of you guys act like this is your first time reading rom coms. Most rom coms have a separation arc, either because the mc or fmc has to go to school or a different country for whatever cliché the author is going for. Japan has a thing for tropes. So I don't understand the complaining, odds are the chad will cozy up to the FMC, some misunderstanding will occur, but they'll overcome it, to show that their relationship can withstand hard times. You would know if this was one of those roms where the couple doesn't end up together, because it has more drama and subtle tones and adult themes. This one does not. Just enjoy the ride, we all survived these arcs in other rom coms before, we will survive this one as well.
Stop telling others how to feel about tiring and overused tropes



This manga doesn't need that shit

Just because we’ve seen the tropes before does not mean we can’t be critical of them and the characters involved. I don’t care about your confidence they will end up together, i just don’t like seeing the FL be so incapable of putting her foot down and telling this guy to fuck off (to me, it sorta invalidates the established fact that she is totally smitten by the ML if she keeps entertaining the rival or treating him as a friend). Perhaps i’m relating this too much to real life, but i know a lot of people here would be pissed to see their partner stay close to someone who clearly has a thing for them
Its unbelievably awkward for their entire friend group if she singles that guy out, and decides to no longer associate with him just because she got a boyfriend. Her look of disgust when he started flirting with her, and the fact that her friends all came to her defense shows that none of them are taking him seriously, and he probably isn't being super serious about it either. We don't know how this guy actually feels about her. He could very well just be teasing her. His flirting didn't really seem serious from what I could tell.

He has no chance but part of the reason we do the "let's not date until I'm ready" thing is to allow these types of moments and it can be a bit predictable and old regardless. If this is all he does it's fine but I think many suspect this isn't all he'll do. Their "not dating yet" allows for these types of advances that feel very uncomfortable when the audience already considers the characters as a couple. I'm hoping this was just the author having some fun and they don't intend on going further with it. I wouldn't stress at this point though.
He is just doing the same thing the other friends are doing tho. Its no different except he is a guy. The "lets wait" thing isn't even that bad. We have no clue what this guy actually wants, and people are just jumping to conclusions

Make progress and then intro rival char that later appear Infront MC and make him feel down because the rival looks better then him ...

This mangaka story progress are shitty as ever
You left 2 comments about story progress, and how the mangaka is bad at it. We are on chapter 30, and both know how each other feel for 1, and 2 the mc has already seen the guy. Stop making baseless assumptions. Go read boring ass fluff with 0 substance like the rest of the romcom brained clowns.

Same like when people comment about 12cm rival char ...until he glued himself with FMC 24/7 and pretty much cut any chance of MC being alone with FMC ..and even come and distrub the couple date

So much as saying he wants help FMC only
God that pissed me off. This was the exact vibe I was getting, but everyone was so sure he was a wingman it was insufferable. I stopped reading it then, haven't checked in since...

Let the wingman trope fucking die and have two people actually figure out how they feel about eachother...

Idk why anyone would have an issue with the guy other than him acting like a tool. She didn't show any emotion except disgust when he tried flirting with her.
Yeah I don't get why people always want their narration on the rails, jfc. Authors can't even integrate morally grey characters or social interactions without a bunch of snowflakes crying out loud while completely missing out on the entire subtext. Same shit with every protagonist who's just supposed to "aura farm" with the character depth of a puddle.

I understand the guy, I never have any intention of replying to anyone in the comment section, just to drop my thoughts and react. So anytime I reply to something I don't think I'd have to do that again and send it.

Besides it barely takes less space and is easier to react to.

What if someone has a good take and a bad one within the same comment, wdyd?

The MC is really getting on my nerve now.
The 'This will interfere with my exams' is a bunch of BS, he studying to be in the same University anyway.
If sealing the deal making him lose focus instead of being more motivated, it would only show the dept of his conviction and it's not like the FMC is not the type to try to distract him to mess it up either she said it herself.

Its because they are romcom brained. They only care about the destination, and not the journey getting there. They only want the ship to sail, and care nothing about the structural integrity of the vessel. These people would give the titanic a run for its money.
