Hmm, so Nozomi is sticking to offering friendly advice. Maybe he is serious about becoming Maki's friend? It's just hard to think of it as a natural friendship when we already know his objective is to get close to Yuu. He has to beat allegations that he's only befriending Maki to get closer to his crush. His actions so far seem good. I hope there's no betrayal or anything of the sort.
Maki, our boy is openly asking Umi out on dates. He's grown! Oh my god, that talk between them about dressing up for the date was so freaking adorable. He should definitely make some effort to look good because she is making the effort too. It's only fair.
