interesting to see how in the recent anime female popularity poll (Fall 2019, week 5 from "anime trending" for the week nov13-20), Fumino and Kirisu ranked 4 and 7 respectively with the rest of the girls not making the top 10 list - which is mad interesting considering how for that week, the episode that aired (7) that week focused on rizu & asumi and fumino & kirisu didn't even get any screen time. i guess western fans like fumino more than kirisu, which is the total opposite for japan where mafuyu simply dominates.
also, considering how fumino feels like the author's favorite, i'm wondering how she'll develop. rizu was easy to develop since she was basically a shell that didn't know how to understand feelings, and uruka is on a ticking-time bomb that forces her to move, be aggressive, before her study abroad. most likely, fumino will now actually be more distant to nariyuki after realizing her feelings and still try to push her friends' loves. ideally, fumino would develop by her sessions of "understand a woman's heart" with nariyuki where he'd eventually confront fumino, understanding her actions, eventually ending up with the trope of "it's alright to be selfish at times"
