I get why everyone freaks out on Makun and his density, but the truth is he doesn't really gives much of a shit about Amano as a love interest. Altough that girl he wants to get with the same school is a different matter.
@Istvan90623 TBF, manabu see amano is something out of his reach.... while the other one is something as his goal because it's in his reach thus admiration.... hence why he is such a denial... not to mention amano can be violent tsun at times, even when manabu done nothing wrong and giving mixed flag.... a this point, we know manabu is adhore amano much more, but if amano still act like this, manabu will never see her as girlfriend potential, but already long standing childhood friend he need to protect for...
