i don't understand how Shirota can have the dignity to stay with someone like Takamine anymore.
In this chapter ALONE she kicks him in the crotch which was unnecessary if she wanted to keep him quiet, and then keeps reminding him over and over that she doesn't want people to know that shes "associating with him".
"Oh but shes being tsundere about him, shes being facetious here!"
thats not the point. He doesn't know how she feels about him really. And the whole social standing nonsense... jfc
If it were me, if my crush was STILL saying shit like "can't let people know I associate with you" to me, i would have let go of her hand immediately and just bail. how long do you have to know someone before they don't feel like they have to say that to you.
Oh and im STILL not gonna let chapter 1 go off the hook, im only continuing this series cuz sunk cost, and i'd like to believe that if this author has any respect for themselves, they'd actually address the obvious elephant in the room that is the rape blackmail. i could not give a rat's ass about the "first love all along" flashback.
author has a maso fetish i guess.
