This fake boyfriend plot would be sightly less eyeroll-inducing if Awkward Senpai hadn't just done the same damn thing. But hey, whatever gets us to the endgame.
Was this the first chapter that didn't feature an arcade game extensivly? I could be wrong there. Either way I feel like that format held the series back at some points.
What right does a family have to dictate the life of an adult who has been working and living alone for YEARS? It's very silly and will probably be the beginning of progress.
The authors make a lot of mistakes on this point. I just read another one where the progress starts because the character got drunk.
