Recency bias, also he's dumb af. Akito has literally been straight forward and honest with her affection towards him.
What he said about Akito seemed unfair to me at first too, but I think he might have reframed accuratly their relationship.

Didn't they start hanging out because she had no friends? Since she relied on him, she got carried away and fell in love all on her own. But when she got reconciled with her two girl friends, Akito apparently stopped hanging out with Gotou (if it wasn't to have sex).

When you had this on top of the episode with the blond dude she jerked off after talking for a day, her 'love' isn't worth much.

I still think she deserves the benefit of the doubt since Gotou never take the time to have a discussion with her about any of this. Reminder that he took her virginity then didn't speak to her at all and instead jerked off about it for weeks.

I hope now that Gotou laid out his valid feelings bare that other girls too will tell him like Shigemi if he's wrong or right, or show it one way or another. He's absolutely right about the President for example. I like her but she's just having fun at everyone's expanse, she's even twisted to mess her little sister on purpose.

No she's liked him for a long while now, ever since their days during baseball. She has her friend group, and he has his though he stopped hanging out with his friend cause he's a horny bastard

She also helped out the playboi out of both pity and because the playboi took advantage of her naivety and innocence. It's also a bit shameless to say that when Gatou goes around fucking any girl he wants

At the end of the day the only two characters that have been confirmed to love Gatou genuinely are the teacher and Akito, everyone else is either playing around with him, doing it just for sex or both

It was unfair. Read chapters 34 and 60 and come back here, you'll see that is not only unfair, it was foul.

It's also unfair to say that she's hanging out with her friends when it was Gotou who has tried to distance himself from Akito because of the bad rep he was giving her.

The best thing about the emerging waifu wars within this series is that Takeda has fully given in to following his every whim, reaching back to him completely re-writing the series to let him draw a threesome. Thus there is potential for every girl to suddenly win, or for it to end with Gotou alone or a full harem. Kinda rooting for Shige now as well to be honest.

Anything could happen at this point and it would read perfectly fine in comparison to the rest of the story.

i'd be laughing my ass off if she won. tho it feels kinda forced that she's suddenly amused by his antics when she didn't give a shit all this time.

Bro should not get married, he folded in less than one chapter. I love milfs, but if he is just going to break her heart, then he should not get married.
We all know where this thing will go bro. This manga just unpredictable, maybe the next 2 chapter will break gotou again

Surprises me how Gotou's mom was quite quick to leave Gotou in charge of Shigemi.

Seems Gotou keeps crashing down about his contradictory desires and gave us some of the most brutally honest panels... admits he doesn't want logic to control his life. In simple..., he's a hopeless hedonist.

Well Inukai essentially intimidated her into it so alls forgiven on her end, but anyway I guess the problem with Akito is that she isn’t super proactive in regards to her dissatisfaction with her relationship with Gotou and Gotou himself doesn’t seem to be all that into her romantically considering that he’ll gladly marry Kiyomi or Shigemi apparently but can’t even bring himself to call Akito his girlfriend much less have the stones to turn her down gently.

That chapter made no sense. How can he say no girl actually likes him when its obvious his childhood friend loves him?

The point of that scene was to show that he's so down bad that he didn't notice Shigemi was teasing him and will accept anyone that proposes to him. Obviously Akito hasn't proposed because she's not ready for that, she just wants to be his gf. Also no normal person proposes to someone that quickly that's moving way too fast.

Fact is Akito has been honest with her feelings, she does object to being just sex friends and was against him marrying the teacher, the one at fault here is Gotou. And he does like her but he's greedy, selfish, and doesn't want to settle for one person.
