Of all the "I'm a 'mob' in a rom-com" type of stories, this one is the BEST by a THOUSAND LIGHT YEARS. This is seriously the only story i've read that actually did the premisse right and in an interesting way
And once more, the guy the MC claims is the "protagonist" doesn't have any trait of an actual protagonist of these stories and is more like the popular guy who the actual protagonist compares himself to (now would you look at that)
This doesn't make any sense. The guy already knows Amada tried to confess and got rejected 2 times before. Why would he think she would be interested in him NOW?
I kinda agree with Mika here. Of course, that doesn't mean he should bend over to Noa's every whim, but c'mon. He knows that's her way of showing affection and how much she treasures their relationships, so always trying to mine their time together when he knows how important that is to her is...
The thing with Noa is that she loves open gestures of affection, that's why she is okay with hugging. But a gesture so subtle and more secretive as handholding feels just too intimate.
...like, i know they definitely didn't go all the way because harem manga bullshit and everything but...it's simply absurd for me to imagine they didn't fuck in these scenes...
