I was just here for some quick rival arc. Not thing more. Shit hit too close to home.

 

[netgirl]

so cute <3

 

[Oreo69690]

I am glad she wasn't a love rival.
Just a friend

 

[Babydel]

Such a shame only two more chapters of this version... Much prefer it.

This was really awkward reading in the LN, portrayed it pretty well here.

 

[Oeconomist]

Melancholy authenticity.

 

[MisfortunateRose01]

F, Lol damn thank doge it wasn't a love rival but damn was this melancholic.

 

[Yurisivel]

Oh man, the author really captured the awkwardness and melancholic reflection perfectly. It's great.

 

[MoonlightwolfchanX]

Really only 2 more chapters? How sad, I've been enjoying this.

 

[Ranzo]

Probably the best chapter in the series so far, it was actually good.

 

[Morgan_spurlock]

I like how it turned into the climax of a romance anime

 

[NoNeimus]

So the one time in her life Shimamura stopped being apathetic, it wasn't even with Adachi? 😒

 

[Syapaaye]

Once again, both the author and the artist portrayed such casual awkwardness with high authenticity I can feel it seeping.

 

[ringo_juusu]

Something like this has really happened to me recently, but the Shimamura didn't remember how we used to be and it made me feel super sad.

 

[frostmonolith]

Fixing friendships is extremely important, indeed.

[Serenata]

Amazing... I feel like I learned a lot with this chapter, hopefully a situation like this won't happen to me too, but I'll be prepared!

Fundamental Light-Novel Spoilers:

Spoiler

The Shimamura in the light novel is more generally low in affect and disconnected from people than the Shimamura in this manga. And the Adachi in the light novel is still more disconnected, with the exception of her attachment to Shimamura, which attachment makes her extremely vulnerable.
