Oh noes, MC derailed his own plans, it's not like he can say "nah actually I wanted to date your best friend, you are only my second choice".

But if I know manga this will end up with a "err yeah I was joking, you're great but I was joking, hahaha, oh also you'll not be offended by this joke but rather develop feelings for me somehow despite this joke basically being a direct insult???".

The new girl's anatomy is something else. Maybe it's a perspective thing?
edit
Yeah it's just a perspective thing. The art gets a little wonky at times in other chapters, too. We gucci, nothing to see here.

Is this guy dumb? Isn't he supposed to be like 25-30? If you regret your past and want to change, that means changing your personality and how you act, that also includes how you act towards others who knew you BEFORE your glow up....otherwise you aren't changing, you're just acting.

OK, I'm calling it. This is going to be a supporting harem series. Emphasis on the "supporting". I initially thought that Miori didn't include him in her list of "hot guys she's interested in", but her frustration and disappointment with his treatment, combined with the occasional flirtatious lines, tells me he's definitely in the list. Maybe not a full crush, but his looks combined with their past at least make her think it'd be a nice path and feel a little annoyed that he doesn't seem to see it. Again, "supporting": she knows he has someone he likes and so lets it go with some minor annoyance or disappointment that someone she seems to have thought liked her in the past has moved on, choosing instead to wish for her happiness.

Given that Yui is best friends with Hikari, I'm sure this will end up the same way: she recognizes him as a catch, maybe even likes him a bit or feels her heart flutter around him, but she's not going to pursue a guy who's already in love with someone else, nor is she going to try and take her best friend's crush, at least not without a lot more pushing her forward.
