I really love how her "happy" expression that her coworkers picked up on is just her usually concave eyebrows becoming slightly convex

Ignoring the rest of the conversation, this manga definitely is suggestive. You may have just become desensitized to it

It's a joke

I don't think it's as pressing as you guys think it is. She's just saying that yeah, there are people in her new school that are nice, handsome or athletic (because of course there would be) but she then goes on to say that she currently has no interest in any of them, because she doesn't know...

That's just not a thing you do in Japan, sadly

I agree with you on your points in response to the other guy, but if we look at this from a practical and more meta point of view: What exactly would the point of making a romcom, where one of the main characters is incapable of romance, be? Like sure, you could do that, but why would you...

In her defense, not having or feeling like you have anything to talk about and ignoring are completely different. One is just a lack communication, which can be entirely circumstantial (this can happen even with people you really really want to talk to, say on a date for example) and the other...

Things we know about Shun's relationship with romance: He likes Chokki Chokki is seemingly the first person he's ever liked, from what we know, so no experience at all outside of this one crush He wants her to like him back, but thinks she only sees him as a kouhai, despite the fact that she is...

You can just have guests over?? To the eldritch mansion? That you reach via the forest of malice??

There was also a rule that if you had a red rose in your room, you needed to put it by your pillow before you slept. It seemed like they were building towards the twins finally getting one over on her and getting her to break the rule about bringing a rose to your room, but then that other rule...

I feel like the romance aspect is pretty clearly established, but that's just my interperetation of certain things that Esther has said. Like, for example in the chapter(s? idr) where they go to the mall together, Max asks her if getting a gift for Joy wouldn't just be pressuring her, and in...

I like how he still didn't call her cute in the end

There's nothing inherently wrong with an open ending, but like all things, there's a time and a place for it. You can't just drop an open ending and expect it to go over well if you've been purposefully guiding the reader's expectations in the exact opposite direction. Arima even acknowledges...

The problem isn't gatekeeping, it comes down to how legitimate the site is trying to be. The problem with Mangadex was that it was trying to be completely compliant in the hopes that Japanese companies would see its value and the respect it was showing and leave it alone, which clearly doesn't...

He felt he was a burden on both of them, and probably also assumed that he was part of the reason why their family is like that. It's a common thing for children in abusive households, sadly. So I'm guessing that he wanted her to be "free" from both his abusive father and him. He doesn't want...
