we are getting Natsumi development let's go!
and I definitely relate, I have never been asked out or asked someone else, or on a date at all, it's all foreign. But apart from that, no one in my friend groups has gotten together while we are on the friendgroup, all the couples "joined" the group as couples, I wonder how different it is when 2 friends part of the whole group enter a relationship, must be different, right? I think the latter is what Natsumi describes over simply there being people in relationships around her.
The solution, as always, is a throuple.
If only it was that simple... not everyone is alright with polygamy, and I don't mean just in a social acceptance way, but as emotional inclination. Natsumi brings up the social aspect of it, saying it's how a relationship is "supposed to be" between two people, but we don't know if the author intends anything about societal expectations and norms or if there's no meaning behind it.
Wish more series actually at least explored the throuple option even if discarded, you know?
