@Damoon, bro, it's a slice of life romantic comedy, emphasis on slice of life. Just enjoy the ride and have fun. This story isn't just about the romantic progression.
Something about Kogoen-san gets me going. Hope to see more of her soon.
Also the last couple of chapters where awesome. Haven't laughed so hard since the early days. I can not understand why people think of it being boring or on a new time low. In contrary I even think it's on a new time high!
Introducing new characters, putting them into weird situations an playing with their character traits is what the mangaka does best. And I'm glad the manga is back to Form!
