Hatarakanai Futari - Vol. 27 Ch. 1758.2 - Near Future Maki & Maruyama

[Knighto]

...did we miss a chapter or the "near future" in the title was because the author decided to just make us see what will happen and stop raising hopes because he decided to go with co-worker?
That is a good girl, but Maki is better fo rme.

author really went ... "bro, I don't give a f*ck about your romantic ships, this is wholesome poop siblings and co."

poor Maki, this is 100% Takada wins, there's no one else, if we get a chapter similar for her my brain would explode

Yeah...unfortunately this chapter really ruins Maki chances...best case he said he was sorry because he can't just see them together, possibly the "bullism" he received made her just impossible in his mind, that is, but reasonable.
We are not seeing from Maru pow, even if years passed old trauma stays, in other comics this stuff get passed over but in a realistic setting a child being unable to be honest and teasing their crush to be close develop in a bad direction.
Maki told him to make "her" happy, hinting at one girl in Maru life, but it could just be that she thinks she was refused because there was already someone or that a wish to who he gets with in the future.

I agree with most here, but Maruyama rejects the offer for drinks for having a girlfriend, he wouldn't lie about something like that and when Maki tells her to make her happy, he goes "ofc I will", so I srsly doubt there's no actual girlfriend for that "moment in time".
