Maybe it's yuri... Maybe it's gonna be a Weeb Moment where they just blurt out the good and cute things about her, and then get along again... eh, idk....
Imagine if he offers to help her to 'get close' to Shijou just to get close to her. Would be insanity right? Unless...
Go for lil cute forget huge booba
Next chapter will decide: To drop or not to drop. If he blurts out let me help you I'm dropping this shit. If he still pursues her after discovering that she is gay DROPPING THAT SHIT.
But I'm glad that he discovered it NOW rather than after chapter 197.
Read some raws (up to chapter 18). It seems that mangaka is still unaware. Lesbian still plays her games but it seems our MC moved on. BUT since mangaka doesn't know she still ships MC and the lesbian. In any case it seems that lesbian will be the 3rd wheel who will never get the mangaka. I will still base everything on the next chapter which will give me clear idea why is it that until ch 18 this Yuri girl still clings and doesn't open up her feelings.
