I get more and more curious as to the author's envisioned endgame for Atori the more this goes on. Assuming there is one at this point, anyway.

Does she actually make a serious play for Suzu? Does she attempt to build something of substance out of what she thinks is between them? Does she do it prior to graduating, and does she consider it 'real' enough that she makes an effort to continue it past her leaving that school?
Whether or not Suzu reciprocates feels like a fool's errand of a 'what-if' game because, thus far, she's consciously focused on Yuu, but Yuu's...........well, yeah, and Suzu has slipped at least once where Atori's 'advances' are concerned, so. And there's multiple other characters in play that all kinda factor into that initial triangle, at least in some capacity to the point they could affect things.

As lighthearted/goofy as this series is, I have to wonder if there'll be some heavy relationship drama in the pipeline. Tonally, some weird heavy triangle/NTR-style subtheme almost it feels like it'd be out of place, but His Girlfriend had its lighthearted moments too (though not like Bad Girl, I don't think, definitely different genre), so maybe it's me with the incorrect read on the vibe here.

I just keep wanting to read this as some weird episodic series with no actual 'story' behind it, even though I know it has an actual progressing narrative. I think it's how the chapters tend to jump around and feel more snapshot/SoL-like, or something, and often are focused on character interaction rather than...I guess 'big story beats/moments/incidents".
So it probably is me with an incorrect read, in the end.

Hopefully tbf author doesn't try to add any drama and keeps in episodic. They're not particularly good at writing drama

okay so canonically Atori is just trolling Suzy

whether any of us believe that is a whole different story

Atori: "I love tsunderes. I can't wait until she says the it's not like I like you line."
