What is this? Are romance manga allowed to have a misunderstanding cleared up this quickly and easily??

Almost making me cry there, damn
It's a pretty common "reserved MC opens up to FMC" trope, but man it was executed really well.

Hold the fuck up, is that some HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS in my romcom?
Shut it down. Shut it all down. We're supposed to have stretched this pointless misunderstanding at least 25+ chapters.

that was solid.
It helps having the extra insight of being a reader outside the story, but even from Youta's perspective within the narrative, Izumi has been markedly different from every other girl before.
It was a great decision from the author to only have her meaningfully interact with Reiya after over 30 chapters had passed, because even Youta gets a sufficient establishing of where Izumi's focus and intentions are—even if neither of them are cognizant of it (Izumi discovering her feelings only very recently, and Youta trying to ignore his own with diminishing success)—and it means that even as Youta is distressed and spiraling over seeing Izumi with his older brother, the momentum built up over all their interactions and time spent together means he still wants to try and reach out, and not run away once more. He'd already fallen, and she had spent enough time looking at him that he could have hope that maybe, just maybe, he should try in spite of being afraid.
And her affirming him and thanking him for opening up to her, and offering & agreeing to let him lead the conversation so he can tell his story, rewards the trust he put in himself by choosing to trust her through his anxiety and worry. They reveal new sides of themselves to one another in this moment, and it helps build them both up.
I like the throwback with the handkerchief, as well. The one who lead to him shutting himself off, being overwritten by Izumi's where he pushed himself to open up to her, is a nice closing of the loop on that part of his character arc.
I do wonder if we'll get the actual conversation between them, or if it'll happen off-screen with the aftermath being played out in the next chapter as they adjust to Youta finally telling his story. But it should be a treat, either way.
Thanks for the TL as always.

It's certainly quite the heartwarming scene. That said, while there's no chance of it happening, if she did end up betraying him, he'd be absolutely ruined, and justifiably so.

fixed the misunderstanding in a more mature way instead of fallin in the "One Conversation Away" trap like this shit kanojo-to-kare-no-kankei-heibon-na-hayakawa-san-to-heibon-na-miura-kun-no-hibon-na-kankei
