"better kindness with a motive...than lies under the guise of friendship"
well, there are lot of lies under the guise of friendship. mc romantic likes this girl ever since ch 1 and why is that? mc tought she was cute and being the loner mc were, mc fell for the first girl that talked to her...
to me there were many, it's just different with an, she gets silent and pensative, while with shunpei we get a more expansive reaction
two situations that emphasized her awarness of him were when she went to her old school to watch him jump and when the tourist calls her shunpei's girlfriend
BURN, i like this feeling of the mc getting what they deserved, thanks, translator, the scanlation etiquette is complex, a good manga that is not being translated is Oji Tensei ~Akuyaku Reijou no Kareinaru Seikatsu~, if you'd like to check it out
i wish whenever the pick me trope "do you like or hate spending time with me?" showed up the other character would double down and say "yes, i hate it, finally i can get it out of my chest"
