Yeah, I thought about that some. In the end, I went with something that would apply to most of the situation where that would be used. She's in *love* with the MC but doesn't know how to handle it, to a degree she might not even realize she's in love. But to others, it's obvious she is. The last chapter of this volume explains how she fell in love. A pretty thin reason, but for a fluffy, ecchi shounen, good enough a reason.
Alright, I have 3 chapter backlog so chapter 2 will go up in 3 days. (April 10, 2020) A new chapter will follow every week thereafter unless I fall behind to my obligation to the purchasers.
