Manatsu really loves Nagi, but I really love Manatsu as a protagonist. She is so immediately relatable and endearing in a way that feels unique and refreshing. There aren’t many other characters I’ve fallen in love with this quickly.
I like Nagi too, but it’s harder to get a read on her. I do think we all agree that her closed-off personality perfectly complements our goofball protagonist.
in the first sleepover chapter we see nagi having had a previous experience with someone that felt a bit belittling so she's probably pushing herself to act more 'mature'. which i think is why we see nagi be more of a driving force with action while manatsu is stepping on the gas with emotion.
ffs nagi you got a lovestruck idiot. it's hard to let others but she'd be happy to protect you.
