I feel like the author just abandoned all the Izumi/Ishizumi duality by making her like Izumi first, but then completely ignore him and focus on liking Ishizumi. She felt almost like she was cheating, but now doesn't really think about it?

Sure, we know they are both the same person, but she doesn't, and it feels the author realized he can't have it both ways but is not solving it either.

It feels weird having her react to Ishizumi when 5 chapter ago she was asking almost the same of "another man".

Well yeah the author kinda wrote them self into a hole.

We know that Reina has a sense attachment to Ishizumi because of how he's always in her corner supporting her. But nothing really romantic. So the author had to find a way to get Reina to be conscious of Ishizumi as a romantic prospect rather than just friend/subordinate. Hence the focus on Ishizumi lately and Izumi being pushed to wayside. And I guess making Reina jealous is to meet that end.

The real test comes after that. Reina had to decide whether she likes Izumi or Ishizumi.

Thanks for the chapter!

I imagine she subconsciously knows they're the same person but she finds how she's acted with izumi too embarrassing so she's repressing the obvious truth in her mind.

i predicted this in chapter 1. the premise doesnt hold up at all. I'll even bet the whole duality/lie thing doesn't return with seriousness (not a joke chapter or one-off joke) until the very end. the story is all based upon the FMC being absolutely stupid retarded, and that never works on the long run. author couldve gotten it out of the way fast, but decided to just ignore it altogether. Dumb decision.
