all that work, just to get +1 friend.
I do hope that the author is still gearing for a pure love komi and tadano ending, but I wouldn't be mad if he published a 4 character harem end as well.
It was a really interesting and had so much potential at the beginning, but once they started adventuring as a party of 5, it became a slog. At the very least, at least the mangaka stuck the landing well.
Aw fuck, I was hoping to see a more composed response by Kawai. Maybe I'm being too hasty on making this call but I was hoping she could be a nuanced foil to Komi to the same degree that Manbagi was.
