Honestly that short black hair girl might be a better match for him...Not to say I don't respect the MC's struggle. It's just that well sometimes you get so focused on one thing that you forget what's right in front of you, which I am very guilty of myself.

Although I hate to admit I kinda agree with you, caught myself thinking that she would be a better match to him

Damn when the mc cried over the movie despite not understand is sooooo fucking relatable man. Reminds me of before i starts to see literature, movies and music as art for storytelling. Idk which manga/song/movie it was but i remember crying/feeling emotional and not understanding it. It really made me interested in these mediums. Im sure there are also kids that will go through what we did as well and i hope it will open up the kids’ eyes towards the beauty of these mediums.

It's a bit weird to see him interacting with others considering his mind always seems to be in the clouds thinking of her, I'd imagine it's gotta be somewhat annoying to be around him

Lel... the Tom Holland rivalry. That's funny. Dude, he's a famous hollywood actor, don't worry so much. Guys around the world deal with their significant others fangirling over celebrities like that. My ex was a fan of Cillian Murphy and Tom Hiddleston, but I didn't let it bother me. She was with me, not those actors. Admiration of someone beyond reach should not be measured against mutual feelings.

To be fair, he hasn't actually started officially dating Shia, but still, I feel like they do have a connection even this early in the story that people aren't noticing. She is most certainly not beyond his reach like those actors, in my eyes.

Shit, that muscle fondling, even if she was comparing him to an actor, still seemed pretty damn friendly and appreciative.

Also love the expressions. Reminds me so much of Koume-sensei's other work I've read.

It's a tough realization to come to - that the smile she wears for him is when she's performing the role of an older sister entertaining a little brother, and her genuine self is something he's only ever seen by accident. And I suspect he didn't even fully understand just how deep into the little brother zone Shia tried to put him in this chapter. (Would she be casually touching a man like this on an actual movie date? Obviously not. She can touch him and feel nothing because he's just a boy. That's the point.)

Jealousy, on the other hand, he understands perfectly. That Tom Holland motherfucker better watch out.
