Although it's bit different from WN, it's still good af (haven't read the LN so can't really compare lol)
I glad mangaka adapted Yuu x Umi past very beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I guess I'll put the spoiler for the next chapter about their past
The reason why Umi keeping Maki (MC) for herself because she is jealous of Yuu.
Yuu, technically, "stole" everything Umi had without Yuu actually aware of it herself.
Umi later find out that Sanae and Manaka (those 2 girls from page 13) have been hanging out with Yuu without her.
This is the main reason why Umi decided to change school so she won't meet her "former" friends.
This manga chapter covered WN chapter 45-49
And ofc, some may missing out since this is LN adaptation but I haven't read LN yet.
Make sure to read the WN!
Nice that Maehara did not assume anything 'romantic' in this situation. He stayed as a reliable and understanding friend or ally.
I guess we will have to wait a couple more chapters for even more reiwa energy.
