I had to reread the last chapter to remember the full content and names.
So, after rejecting him and staying as friends, they're hanging out again for the first time after that event.
The story remains open-ended, with the heroine wondering if her feelings for him is the same as her female friend, as friends.
In the end, she's afraid that by the time she'll figure that out (whether she likes him as a friend only or romantically), he'll reject her instead.
Bizarre epilogue.
This Manga was charming at first from its simple allure of her looks and his love for it, and it became fairly interesting with his friends in the mix, but the progress, events, and sudden finale to end up being friendzoned, to now presenting even less closure with this depressing aftermath makes this Manga worse than it already was from how incredibly disappointing it was.
I don't comprehend the reasoning, but fortunately, (off their Twitter) they don't seem to hint any intention of continuing this story.
Hopefully their latest publishing or new work is better.
This Manga remains a 3/10. So disappointing.
