Tsubaki being so clearly, deliriously happy with everything Tadashi comes up with just does it for me. To think she started this manga as basically Wile E. Coyote.

She got her switch flipped a while ago, and has been coming on to him since then.
Gods have mercy when his switch gets flipped!

that study outfit is LETHAL

What could you possibly refer to? She is modestly covered from neck to ankles, with long sleeves, and even extra coverage of her ample ... tracts of land. Nothing arousing to see here. Nope, none at all. No siree. 😝

Insane amounts of progress. This manga continues to be one of my favorite rom coms in the entire genre. It's right up there with Anjou san for me.

To expand more on it, we progressed so much in just a few chapters. They really do communicate so much more naturally now, and it's so much more enjoyable and cozy to see them interact vs the constant push and pull that defined their relationship in the first ~30 chapters.

He is now openly trying to take initiative, asking her on dates, and has tried to balance out affection even more. He obviously still has natural guardrails up, but he is not being irrational about it. In the meantime, Tsubaki has learned to turn his quirks into something she can find affection in, and feels more comfortable teasing while still trying to be cognizant of her actions. It's really great to see characters think about their actions, why they're doing stuff, and for it to culminate in progress. It also helps that the focus is squarely on these two.

A lot of people were complaining about how much of a prude he is, and certainly he is. But the initial roadblocks they had to overcome were grounded in some rationality given how their relationship started. Now look at how he's reflected and made tangible progress as a person first and foremost. This is a great example of what people want when we ask authors to continue a manga after the main pairing gets together, because there's so much to explore when it comes to the dynamics of a new relationship.

Sidenote: @MaroFour idk what happened here or if this was sniped (I mean, not really a snipe since it was never really picked up officially), but I still appreciate you resurrecting this and getting us here before these chapters! @Finest These are quality scans tho, just glad to have this manga being translated.

Metacognition in play, HELL YEAH!
