If it did, Rent A GF would've lasted about ten chapters.

He's not interpreting it as friendship, he's rebooting the relationship (on his end) at that level.

It is a culture thing. Taking big bites which a hamburger sort of makes you do is seen as unfeminine in japan. Where women are encouraged to take smaller daintier bites. There was one resutrant that made napkins that hid a womans face so she could eat a burger

kinda makes sense, the maid treating him like crap 'cause she got popular by masochists got bad luck actually (mc missed how the cafe changed), but ex really went for a dumb move she could have asked to break up for him being so passive but went the extra mile with the lie about cheating (that's on her) and most of all she knows he doesn't have parents, she is pretty much the most important for him but yeah moron things from youth.
and about nyanta to pomeko
that series start better than this one, and is a lot better showing how hurt he got each time, but then it goes flat big time, gets cliche wholesome but it loses what it maked interesting at the start

Huh, I didn't know that. That actually makes me feel bad for the ladies there. It's a sad thing when you can't eat what you like when you want
Nyanta to Pomeko mostly a redemption manga. It at least resolves everything step by step, trying to show human side of heroines. This girls on other hand just dumb abusive pieces of crap. But the main issue is MC. This goodie to shoosey idiot is just unbearable. In the future arks he literally
kneeling before bi**ch ex WHO'S STILL BITH***NG AROUND IGNORING HIM AND BADMOUTHING
Nah ma men. There are a fire dumbsters that are so stupid that it's actually impressive and you continue to see how dumber it will become. But this one is just stupid stupid with unbearable MC. I finished everything in raws anyway. Never again I check this bullshit again....so we'll meet again for the next chapter, then?

Why is he still being a doormat? Like I thought the entire point if his transformation and his retaliation was so he can finally speak up about what's on his mind
Except this whole date he completely regresses to his old "I'll just do what she likes" mentality that earned him his misfortunes to begin with!
And don't get me wrong, I completely understand that this is new to him and speaking up is hard for him to do, but why didn't he at least try? Both him and his kohai were both very honest with each other in order to reconcile. At this point she's being better at saying her piece than he is!

Honestly, the progression feels believably natural to me though.
Yūta Miyamoto has always been an inherently kind person, his whole life spent having taken his parent's words to heart.
Yumi Asakawa, his girlfriend, tried to gaslight him in a ploy that she thought would turn him into a better boyfriend, which ultimately backfired and ended up setting him off on his path of improvement in a moment of passion and determination to change himself for the better. It's not like his personality would've completely shifted or done a 180 overnight. That would be rather abnormal. In contrast, it took time for him to become stronger. His anger flared up momentarily, sparking considerable change, and has now died down significantly, though not fully extinguished. He even acknowledges this on his first day back after summer break, telling himself how distant he still feels from others after failing to initiate a friendly conversation with an ordinary classmate, despite having coldly called out his ex-girlfriend in front of the classroom shortly before.
Next, the situation between him and the maid is kind of a no-brainer. He was kind to her and accepted the derogatory treatment she was exhibiting, which in turn convinced her that she was doing good by him. Personally, I can't really say I care too much about their development since they hardly feel that close anyways. She literally arrived then got rejected in like 6 panels or so. Maybe she and the ex-girlfriend will receive backstory segments detailing why they developed their feelings for him at some point. I wouldn't be too surprised if the author did that - it would follow typical writing and besides, the kōhai's already received the same treatment anyways, which brings us to:
Akane Kurosaki. At this point in the story, she has been the first and only person to have come back, approach him whilst swallowing her pride, and actually apologize. She genuinely expressed how she really felt, and at this point, one would expect Yūta to lash out in anger once more... but his mind quickly becomes introspective, realizing how similar their circumstances were. He knows he's always been innately timid and docile, and now with the context of her habit of hiding her feelings due to fear of others? He lets out a breath of laughter, describing them both as "hopelessly clumsy". After their reconciliation, slightly in disbelief, he concludes that perhaps allowing her to start over from friendship status couldn't hurt. And thus she proposes a date in order to try to get her feelings across.
We're still too early into the story so I can't know if the plot will decidedly improve or degrade but these are all my thoughts. Thanks for reading I guess!

Alright, this is going fine. The date is not, but she is!
She is genuinely trying to get him to show his true feelings and not just please her by going with the flow. She decided to change for the better, and she's definitely putting in the effort, even if they both can't change so easily.

I have to say I'm kind of disappointed.
What I thought would be one of the main points of the story was reconciled in a single chapter. It was too quick. Way too quick.
See, I expected this to be more similar to Masamune-kun no Revenge's setting, where Masamune-kun and Aki never manage to communicate accurately, and where Masamune, stuck in his mental sphere of revenge, doesn't manage to see Aki for who she is before a very long time.
This manga feels too rushed. :/

His ex's toxic advice continues to haunt him even after they broke up. Sorry Akane, he wasn't early because he likes you that much.
If anything, Akane being weird just makes her more endearing coming from that initially villainous introduction. She's trying to express herself more and conforming less than usual? That's good! She's also paying attention to what he likes and not making the entire date about her (although it's becoming too much about him which is it's own can of worms). In my book, a date is both about having fun and learning more about each other. Sadly, he doesn't seem interested yet in knowing more about her (understandable since he tags her as a "friend" for now). Keep pushing, girl.
She's earnestly making a push to win his heart, and honestly she's making it hard for me not to want to root for her. She seems to be growing, but not sure about him.
What I fear in this story is the same thing happening to the other two girls like with Akane, creating a repetitive pattern of the story redeeming the girls into heroines (who don't seem to deserve it unlike Akane, who quickly and genuinely pushed for reconciliation) on its way to creating a harem. I don't want to see similar date scenes with the part-timer maid and the ex in the future.
What I'm hoping for is the catharsis of Yuuta finding and building a new love with Akane and moving on, leaving the undeserving Yumi and Ruriri in the dust. But I can't tell for now. It can still go both ways.
