Gotta drag this out because confessions and becoming a couple can kill a romance manga because most editors can't understand there being conflict or story telling after the fact in shounen, that's (mostly) reserved for Senin, Shojo, and Josei mangas because.... reasons? 🤷♂️
Ah, I see they needed something to separate themselves from the other "Cute but distant to others female neighbor falls in love with me due to proximity and takes care of me in comfy safe romance" genre that has been trending lately. Seems this is the low stakes "Drama" they are going with.
