@kcSaya I can't phrase that better. I really hate it when I am so anguished after losing a match and my teammate just say: "Hey, dude, it's just a game."
Shoujo manga or not, I really hate it when there's a third wheel coming into view.
I was dumbfounded when that guy appeared in the novel, and reading the manga doesn't help reduce my disgust towards him.
Seriously, this couple went way past dating/marriage stage all the way to a husband and wife who's been married and have 2 working children.
or at least that's the vibe i got.
