@NullApostle word. Naruse is easily one of my favorite side characters even if he doesn't get talked about a lot. I didn't care about him in his introductory chapter, but most of his appearances after makes me laugh. Even if all he does is exaggerated poses, it still catches me off guard every time.
This series is about recognizing social awkwardness and responding kindly to it, yet there are comments from readers who don't recognize the social awkwardness of this girl or refuse to consider that others should respond to her with kindness!
