Big oof to Ijichi & obviously he tried to shoot his shot. Akari was harsh but I can see her reasoning behind it since she wants someone to like her for more than her appearance. Ijichi does genuinely like her but like any teenager he has a hard time to say what he wants to say. Sucks to be the side characters in a romcom like this. Thanks for the translations.

The worst she can say is no, they said lol
Though maybe the other guy is worse off. Imagine working up the courage to confess to Demon Gyaru but then seeing she's been in love with someone else for a long time and even if they were to split you'd always be compared to them.

She wants someone to like her for more than her appearance, but Ijichi does like her for more than her appearance, he likes her for her personality too and specifically how she treated him when they went airsofting. It's not just that Ijichi has a hard time saying what he wants to say though, she's so upset from projecting onto him that she asked him what he likes about her in anger and didn't wait for a response because she just ASSUMES he only likes her for her looks.
She said it herself though, she really just wants to be confessed to by a guy that she already likes, or is at least clearly interested in. She is upset at him for acting without knowing how she feels, but for a guy like Ijichi, when she compared him to a male idol she liked that was the closest he ever got to being flirted with in his entire LIFE lol. That's about as clear a sign of interest as he ever thought he could get.
IMO she has a pretty immature view of confessions because she seems to think they're all or nothing, either acceptance and you start dating or rejection and both parties walk away hurt with an eternal schism between them. Runa's approach of giving dating a shot even though she didn't have feelings for Ryuuto when he confessed didn't just confuse her, she brought it up here because it UPSET her. She doesn't have the emotional maturity to empathize with Ijichi right now because of her past bad experiences or to consider getting to know him AFTER his confession to see if she might like him knowing he already likes her, whether by going out on dates or by just spending time together with their mutual friends. To be fair, she might just not like fat guys, but if that's true, and it likely is given her attitude later in the anime, she's even more immature for not saying that outright and talking all that shit about him only considering her looks.

The other thing, too, is even if the guy did hold himself back and tried to get to know her first as friends, who's to say she'll think, 'he only wants to be friends with me because he wants to date me', and then shut herself off from him long before that? @Orenji-kun said it best that Akari wants to be confessed by a guy she already likes, as in, a kind of guy she wants to like her, but she's going about it wrong.
Somewhere down the line, we've lost what the definition of 'dating' is, and we don't even know if it will go back to the way it was with so many different dating lingos and jargons being created without us realizing it. I'll admit that Akari is half-right about confessions being taken lightly, but at the same time Runa's doing exactly what 'dating' was meant to be, but jumping through too many hoops and skipping steps to where she's more 'experienced' than other girls, more than she probably should be at her age.
Seriously, there's 'everyone experiences love differently', and then there's 'everyone does love differently', which may be the more accurate way to describe what this story is about, and these days, we may be doing it wrong 9 times out of 10.

ISTG the first time I heard the term "situationship" I lost my god damn mind. Just piecing it together from context clues, I couldn't believe just how dumb a concept it was let alone how unhealthy it was that people are willingly entering into these kinds of relationships.
Granted, it's great that there's more vocabulary to bring awareness to unhealthy relationship dynamics now that people are learning about psychology and openly talking about it, but sometimes I hear new words and popularized phrases that just make me question if we're actually going backwards as a society.... The worst is when therapy-speak is weaponized by selfish, immature, and sometimes downright narcissistic people. Hopefully it's just that we're more aware of it than before than that it's actually gotten any worse lol
