the degree to which everyone in these comments is completely missing the point by still obsessing over meguro's "first time"s and whether the MC gets to have sex with her or not is so funny
Ngl for a manga that was supposed to be about showing Rio's perspective of events, it's kind of frustrating how much it straight up lacks exactly that. Like, we're seeing scenes focused on her and hearing her immediately surface level thoughts about the events that take place but there's nothing...
