@FredFriendly: We were introduced to a couple of other guys, albeit briefly, during the scenes of karaoke and the Valentine's Day chocolate gifting; they seem to have no bearing on anything. What I'm waiting for at this point is a long-lost female childhood friend of Tsubasa's to appear, who for
some reason decided to follow him from Tokyo.😘
I have to say, I'm feeling a little bad for Rena; she evidently found someone with whom she can connect with, only for it to be revealed that the person of interest already has close female connections. Despite her initial reaction to this discovery, her personality tells me that we can't rule her out the scenario just yet. 😚Milf😍 definitely has a vested interest in getting her daughter hooked up with our MC, so her sudden arrival was no accident; her offer to treat everyone to a meal together is also an obvious ploy to determine everyone else's motives concerning Tsubasa. Poor Akino is just being dragged along, but I can't help but think that the author has been purposefully sidelining her lately, only to have some grand reveal involving her later on.🤔
To those of which it seems to concern, there is no netorare going on here; I feel like that assumption is being expressed a little too readily with titles lately. NTR requires some very specific things to be happening to qualify it as such, and none of that is occurring in this story, nor do I feel it ever will.🤓
