Some people are acting like the manga is ending, since the central conflict is being resolved, so any further plot would feel forced. I'm going to disagree. The author's been setting up Ooguma's overprotective parents as possible antagonists since chapter 1. They've asked Kanda to write a resume, given Ooguma a curfew, made her video-call every night to verify she's at home, etc. Also the title is "Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl"; I think the first half dealt with the Handsome Girl plot, and now we're going to handle the Sheltered Girl plot.
Specifically I think Ooguma's parents going to disapprove of Kanda, and try to stop her from dating Ooguma. I don't know if it will be because Kanda's a girl, or because she lied about her gender on her resume, or because she's a "bad influence" since she got Ooguma to break her parent's rules. But I think they'll disapprove, and Ooguma/Kanda will have to figure out a way to convince Ooguma's parents Kanda is a good partner. I doubt this will be the sole focus; much like the secret gender plot I think it will be in the background while we have cute date chapters and other fun interactions. But I do think it is a reasonable non-forced direction to go in.
Of course, its always possible the author/publisher decided not to renew the series for a third volume. But I don't think it would be because there is no more plot, I think it would be a business decision.
