@liquidsword Looks like twitched one of your raw nerves. No need to get so angry at me when I never said nor implied that she was
obligated to be his friend or date him. Personally, I think she should have immediately told him she's not interested if she really doesn't like him instead of stringing him along by exchanging contact info and giving him hope.

I think they did this specifically because it's almost over. They needed a reason for him to quickly look past the "I've got a small and cute senpai" and see "I'm in love with my small and cute senpai" with all the urgency of a series that's about to end... It really could have been anything to give the push...
Well, obviously if it was planned to end in three more chapters something would have to happen to get the two main characters together, but did it really have to be this over-used, clichéd development? It's always disappointing when author's can't think of something original.
