I get it but she acted like a tsundere and didn’t grow quick enough. She was arrogant and couldn’t love him as an equal. If it wasn’t a Mika I would pick her to win tho
Nahhhhh. In way 2 many romances today with social out cast, mobs, unpopular mc’s, the characters or “friends” who played the sidelines when the mc was getting bullied or lonely get forgiven to often. It feels more relatable or realistic if he was actually hurt by her not doing enough as his “friend”
So what I got from this is that he tried to reach out but had no way to get in touch with her and has been proactive. Hikari only started liking him when he stopped trying to like her after knowing she didn’t like him which is basic teenage shit. It’s not even running away it’s just unhealthy...
This story was a perfect example of redeeming and saving your story before it crashed. I used to hate this manga and as I read it the plot fleshed out nicely. I’m so happy they both got their happy ending
Since the 2nd male lead/ 2 line interest came in the story quicker than the two established leads could get any romantic chemistry makes it impossible to know who’s going to win. I want to say the first male lead but he’s losing ground fast
