Thanks for the chapter.

Say whatever, but i really dislike this type of rival. She has been passive for yrs and now that Ayumu is around Asuka keeps trying to meddle in a petty way and take advantage of her friendship with Hina. Idk if the author is aware of common sense but Asuka really is doing everything right to be disliked.
"i have to try harder tomorrow"... girl u're not even trying u're just bothering both.

I really can't feel bad for Asuka if she's going to act like this 👀💧 this is a little too immature.

Asuka would be cooking in another manga but alas

Its so over for the childhood friend, but then again, when is it not over for them?

Circa 2000, the trope was totally reversed. Every romantic comedy main love interest ended up being a childhood friend then. I feel like the current situation is really just a reaction to that, but at this point everyone seems to have forgotten how it started.

The progenitor of the harem genre as we know it, Love Hina, had the childhood friend connection as its narrative core. Only the childhood friend could win.

Haven't seen Love Hina mentioned in forever. Correct on all accounts though, yeah. Each generation of writers is reacting to what they grew up with and some work to "subvert" the stories of their childhood, inadvertently swinging the pendulum to and fro for the next generation that follows.
