Ok. So is she still just messing with MC or not? Seems like not. Was she ever not serious?
I don't think we ever saw her "just messing with the MC". To me it looked more like she kind of decided to try for real after he protected her in the first chapter.
MC is going to have to tell her he overheard and knows everything eventually.
Oof yeah, that's gonna be rough

I'm kinda sick of the trope that the male love rival becomes friends with the MC, especially when they literally give the reason "this also means I can get closer to her". It doesn't matter if he's a himbo, it's a horrible trope that never feels realistic

How good is an underdog mc that tries to improve himself and be the active in putting the effort on making the girl fall in love with him instead of needing her validation and protection every minute like a mom. Really the MC alone makes this read worth it.

This feels pretty boring tbh. MC was just always a perfect guy who has the ability to read his girlfriends thoughts and is super nice to everyone but has never had a love interest? Doesn't make much sense.

Premise was good, but they're doing nothing with it.

Youshin was great in this chapter! He was rightfully possessive, and he didn't want to spend any less time with Nanami than he could have. He really made Nanami feel fuzzy inside. I'm sure their date will be great.

Nanami's feelings were articulated while she was in the shower. It's pretty cliché, but it does let her relax and let her true self out. She even squealed unintentionally, which is pretty funny. I'm sad she wasn't wearing her sidetail anymore, though that must have been hard to draw, so I can understand why she's back to having long hair.

Shibetsu seems to be the typical dumb jock. But he was mature enough to not be a sore loser, at least. Will he find love too? Who knows. At the very least, he can be a friendly wingman to Nanami and Youshin.

Yeah, I was ALSO thinking that this guy is psychic or something. As soon as she thinks something he chimes in with the right words. That part is super sus. I think he's reading the raws and/or pre-published manga and then improvising. I don't mind the vanilla but that is just hard to believe that he has all the answers for her fears.

It never was. Because its fiction.
It has to be in the realm of believable with a shade of unrealistic.
If you wanted to make it realistic. Then I suggest you stop reading and go outside
I already did and it was okay
At the same time I get it. You hate it and sick of the trope. While me I hate a certain trope and I accept it because I resigned me of accepting like reality
