People here saying she's a dark wingwomen, but is she not just looking out for her friend? As she mentioned in her message, she didn't want Ritsuki or him to get hurt.

Yeah, this is kind of throwing me. People are freaking out but really she's not doing anything too shady or ovelry-aggressive. She doesn't want Ritsuki to get hurt by association with Waku if something bad were to happen to Waku that made him depressed/withdraw again or whatever. And she has her suspicions that Oura is lying (which she is) and points it out with concern that it could have a deeper impact than it seems on the surface (which it does, just not in the way that she thinks).

It's a move that has a definite bad outcome on the table, but it's not like she's doing it maliciously. It's a well-meaning gesture that just has greater impact than she realizes because she doesn't know why the Akarin lie exists or that Oura values her friendship with Waku entirely because he's the first person who's been nice to her now without just wanting to get closer to Akarin.

This manga feels fast/rushed in some weird ways. Had that feeling since the first chapter when they just immediately becomes friends comfortable with each other rather than it taking a few chapters to reach that stage. Perhaps the reveal will be faster than expected as well. To be honest, I think I would have preferred if the pace was a little closer to the very early parts Komi-san can't communicate.
It’d always had that 3-4 vol feel from the very beginning to me

The consistent 40 page per chapter was the give away for me

I think we make it to 5 volumes. A nice, even 20 chapters (plus the X.5 volume extras). Looking at what info I can find, it appears to be a monthly series (the last released raw was chapter 9 earlier this month) so 20 chapters would give them enough content for almost 2 years of publication with possibly a handful of opportunities to go on break for a month to prep for the tankobon or during holiday seasons or whatever (though who am I kidding. It's the manga industry. You only take a break when you're on death's door.)

I'm tellin y'all he's known since they went on their date and he saw that billboard. He is probably pretending not to know because she hasn't said anything.

Though this text does throw a wrench in things. Will he probe her for full confirmation, or will he pull a rabbit out of the hat and surprise us all?
That same chapter is already telling us what he will do.

Its progressing really fast lol, once they sort that out there's not really much to uncover other than Waku's past.

This chapter felt nostalgic to me as a long term MMO player, made so many friends through it who I still talk to, to this day, though we all voice chat so no way of someone randomly being a girl lol.

I think that he will ask her and she will tell him, and this is where the name "Only I know" comes in as he tries his best to protect her true identity. His actions bring them closer together, they fall in love and everything goes well until the happy ending

And he's stuck to that, but even he knows eventually it will come to light, hence why he says as little as possible. She wants to be able to live a normal life, and he's been doing his best to ensure she does, at least around him.

I also agree that he recognised her on the poster during their date. And decided to be smart and not to bring it up first.

Now I guess he may get a little worried at how a single second without mask was all it took for her to have someone actively trying to be an ass to her.

She doesnt know the girl and just met him and then just assumes that its both the same girl and shes right about her not having a sister and its some elaborate lie to screw the MC somehow?


Its a wierd ass thing to jump to with people you dont know

If this was any other manga I would have totally lost interest in it. But no, the author WILL cook I believe.
Love triangle? Nah wakuchad won't give a fuck.
Older sister drama? "Whatever, wanna hang out oura?"
