I'm glad I saw how this section of comments is so I don't have to go look through the rest.
-Good series, silly, but more than less wholesome.
-strong evidence of her liking gen.
-Friend is good guy, probably more interested in setting his good antisocial buddy up with a date than anything, he definitely strikes me as a natural gigolo, but not one who goes out of his way to drive a wedge between people. I could be wrong, but from how it's developed, unless there's a good reason for him to go for Shizuko presented, he's more than likely going to be a wingman.
-the shoukugeki references are funny x'D
