Can't believe our protagonist here isn't taking some really fair and good opportunity here, which would make everyone happy. Is he such a modest purist? Or is he afraid of weiner-chopping? Well, Kanbaru is being more sincere, lively and nice, and her triangle hypothesis is sound. Oh well, not every protagonist is supposed to be that relatable lol.
Either way, this mange is prime example why you should put senpai Oh Great on the art and someone else at the writing.
