Eiyuu to Majo no Tensei Romcom - Vol. 2 Ch. 9

[Mentholatum]

Wasn't kawasaki supposed to have brown hair in chapter 1 color page? why is her hair blonde now?

Chapter 1 included an official color illustration.

The one in this chapter was colorized by somebody that didn't bother (or didn't care) finding out what the right colors should be.

EDIT: I rather find out that they don't actually like him and are trying to get closer so they can separate him from the witch, so is actually the two of them against the world.

Likewise; that would be a big improvement. Even that hideously-over-the-top-pornservicey harem about "Adam" or some who has super-seductive powers, fighting against the Semen Demons or Fetus or whatever the organization called themselves, had a more interesting "plot" than what this turned into. 😒
(Sorry for the extreme example, somehow your wording sparked a connection in my subconscious… and sadly, it's still true.)

Edit: Found the name because it was bugging me, NOT a recommendation: Shishunki na Adam.

Ah yes, that was already in my Dropped list.
Is cynic to say, but is like some writers go on auto-pilot and forget what the premise was, I am surprised that monster girl Manga with the teacher protagonist is finally making the Isekai plotpoint relevant.
This could always turn into another light beam spam story as well, but I'd wish for the magic aspect to remain somewhat subdued, like with Magical Realism, it could always turn out that these 2 friends were mages in the previous life....

Back to talking about the chapter, I wonder how sound his logic is, I mean he wants the Witch to make friends, so he organizes this thing, but is pretty clear that the female friend is just using it as an excuse to get closer to him, so not really interested in becoming the witch's friend, so is this really the best course of action?

Indeed. Some of the things they say and do feel so arbitrary/contradictory/nonsensical, I wouldn't be too surprised if the mangaka ran out of time to come up with a plot for this chapter… so he played dollies with a few precocious kindergarteners for inspiration.

Boooooo, get out! We all know short hairs always lose unless the title of the manga is about childhood friends winning

 

[LoliNecromancer]

these harem hijinks feel empty.

 

[RichardPercival]

Whoaaaaaa, who's the main character going to pick?
On one side you have a boring flat chested bitch who panicked and denied this being a date while insulting the MC.
On the other side you have a busty blonde loving childhood friend who is brave enough to speak up and flat out state her intention to be seen romantically.

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

"Wha- this is a surprise to me, THIS IS A DATE!? The Childhood best friend who said she loves me wants to make moves!?"
She said this when she organized the thing, AAAHHH! The MC is so stupid and forgetful it's actively annoying me!

It feels like the a battle of creative decisions here. The main premise of the hero and the witch is genuinely interesting, and it feels like that's what the author wants to write. The harem trope romcom sells well, and it feels like that's what's being tacked on. I have to wonder if there's editor meddling and that's why we have these two other girls getting so much focus when the main story clearly doesn't want them there.
