Oh, god, enough of this bullshit already! And you know, this is crappy characterization--we know she's capable of whacking a guy who gets too forward because she always used to do it to Naruse before they were dating, usually even if she was flustered. So why doesn't she ever properly shut down any of these other guys? The Machida we knew from the earlier chapters totally would, the only reason she doesn't is because mangaka wants to do the triangle plot. It's bullshit writing.
