This is genuinely hilarious. What kind of manga pulls the "person is going away, potentially forever" trope fucking twice, and in short succession at that? I mean, seriously, could you not come up with an even slightly different way of inserting urgency into your story, you fucking hack? Also way to warp the climactic confession arc into something completely unrelated and rob it of any meaningful conclusion. Why even have a rival character when she's not allowed the decency of a proper rejection arc?
Christ, what a fucking wreck.
