@Nightdotexe HE'S SAVING HIMSELF FOR KOMI-SAN
@hope2009 He's not perceptive, he just knows to read the room, which is sometimes taken to comical effect of reading minds. In this case though, it's very different, for one thing because it's crucial to the plot, and for another as someone else pointed out before, why would
any girl want him, the literal absolute average ever? He's very nice and considerate, sure, but he still sees himself as absolutely ordinary and can't find a logical reason for someone so perfect like Komi or.... I wanna say exotic like Manbagi to like him that way.
In short, quit it, relax, and enjoy the chapter.
