Ugh...
Their dynamic was great! Until now!... It would have worked for a slow slice of life with comedic back and forth while the genuine romance would smoothly come in!

But now this only creates unnecessary awkwardness and misunderstanding just to create conflict to "keep the readers." Whoever thought this was a good idea needs a chop on the head.

There's a drama tag for a reason. Slice of life without any spice is just boring af.

I agree, but I'm more annoyed with the way it was done here. Introducing teen awkwardness and misunderstanding are fine to spice things up, but here it feels very forced just for the drama, on a dumb idea by a third party - almost as bad as a 3rd act conflict. It could've at least waited a few chapters of day to day shenanigans to better flesh out their dynamic and characters to make it significant. So unless this is a very short manga run, we speedran into this clichéd "we're just friends misunderstanding" drama to an almost infuriating level.
Now maybe the author wanted to get this behind to avoid it as a classic late chapter twist and to focus on their blooming relationship with day to day misunderstandings which seems to be the main theme of this story. I just wish this will lead to an enjoyable read, and don't make me want to flip tables and shout "Communicate!" every time it happens.

The only interesting thing in this chapter is Manga Gyaru realizing she screwed up big time with her dumb idea which is not something I see very often in romcom.

Also if the slice of life alone is boring af, it only means it's not very well written at best.

Oh well, it's still very cute regardless. I'm happy to see her happier but it'll be interesting to see how it goes.

That's fair, although the entire pacing of this feels very rushed so it may very well be a short manga.
