There is enough narrative justification for him to choose either of them already, he already has a history with both, he was already shown to be longing for both. Fair, but since you previously said "it's not a matter of preference", it felt like you were framing it as a fact.

It does pay off though. The whole drama works because of an emotional investment in both Hikari and Yami. I don't see how she stopped mattering or how she is an afterthought when the entire narrative is either her POV or is heavily influenced by her decisions. It clearly is a matter of...

Like many others, you simply chose to view the story through the specific prism of Hikari's perspective. "I don't need to see it because Hikari isn't featured" or something like that. Why though? Why should the narrative always revolve around Hikari? Do you only get invested in someone if you...

I guess we're talking about same things, but since we disagree about the nuances of their past relationship, we're expressing them using different words. But I'd like to stress that the consequences thing is completely new. No one was hurt by their past relationship but themselves, now there are...

If that's correct, I am sure Yami already finds it dumb but still goes for it. Yeah, but at least some sort of thinking happened in those seconds, and since it's omitted, we can't even tell what it was. Yeah, but my other theories also fit into this: She thinks he might not be fully earnest...

I'm not sure that's her reasoning. Although, to be fair, I can't comprehend her reasoning either way. Novel version doesn't help much. It's not like it's out of character, but I can't even imagine the line of thinking in those few seconds marked with "..." Whatever this "I can't lie about how...

The only way he can be S is by denying her any intimacy. And considering that's basically all he's done since the very beginning, I guess, in a sense, he's always been the S.

There's no point in continuing this after the first part ended. It started really good, but then the main boss went down without putting up much of a fight and now we're just watching extremely long unskippable end-game credits to maybe get a post-credit scene which is not even guaranteed to be...

This arc was an embarassingly bad attempt at introducing a new friend for Haimiya. Not only was the premise contrived, but also the arc itself was a complete waste of time with how little it told about the characters and how much time was spent on irrelevant kids.

This again could be when she mustered up the courage to actually do something. Besides, when she is reminiscing in chapter 9, she goes All in all, I still maintain that there's no telling which is it.

It could be that it took her this long to admit it to her friends rather than to realize it herself. As the same chapter says, Yami was the only one she ever told about him before, she didn't say a word to Haru or Yuki, meaning she was likely embarassed to talk about it.

Sure, but this doesn't let us differentiate between "she didn't make a move until the distance closed" and "she couldn't muster up the courage to start anything for so long that he recovered from his break-up", it's impossible to tell which is it.

I don't think there was anything suggesting that she ever noticed that. She didn't notice him dating Yami either. So either he made a good job of hiding it or she isn't so perceptive to notice that.

Whenever the novel makes it so clear, I get the feeling that it's trying to bait readers into thinking that surely it's not that simple and Yami/Hikari must be getting it wrong. But so far almost every moment like this played out straightforwardly.

I think the important part was that Yami hates being pitied by him. I think that's why she refuses to tell him why she even ghosted him in the first place, even though he seems to have caught on to that to some extent. Edit: This part was intentional: she first says "But now I'm slacking off...

Uh, there is only one chapter between 26 and 28. If you mean those omake chapters, I thought it was pretty clear the fighting didn't start yet. Nah, I think it's more about what we discussed before about Yuu's family, she feels like the dropout delinquent with family issues isn't fit to be with...

That's because their fighting only started after Yami went forward with her divorce plan, so it really only happened between chapters 26 and 28. How does this become "(I pretend) I'm too cool to feel threatened by his old crush"? I think it's closer to the opposite, she goes "I need to become...

Among other points, yes, but we were talking about how it would've come up more than once if it was so important. Regarding her jealousy towards Hikari - debatable, but maybe. Regarding the whole "reason to dump him", there's just no way that Yuzuka's "their relationship is doomed" can be...

That's the same chapter as it came up "the first time" (26), so I'd count it as one. Could it be because Hikari said, as she remembers: And it's not like she was even wrong. That was Yuu who asked that: Then your idea is just inconsistent with the storytelling. If sometimes she says it...

No. When they start dating, it looks just like a usual jealousy caused by his actual feelings for Hikari that were still there yet. When she's "looking back on the relationship", nothing like that comes up. And if you mean 13.5, that's caused by Hikari's own words. She remembers their...
