Is that so? My comment was referring to his last statement to which I was under impression on what he referred to between komi and manbagi that has been resolved, he responded to your comment but did not bother to correct mine so if what he meant is exactly like what you said, I stand corrected.
Tho tbf tadano does not exactly being kept in the dark completely, the girls already dropped the hints when komi asked tadano if they were really just 'friend' when they are trapped inside the gym (Ch 246) and manbagi sleep talking, he just needs clear sign to proceed by both girls to further the relationship. The test of courage (Ch 160) is the clear proof of this when he was trolled by najimi to kiss the konyaku because he thought it was komi kissing him, he even already prepared to confess at that time lol.
The thing about komi being a SoL manga to the core came from my impression when I first read the manga in early 2017, I read it like I read sangatsu no lion and yotsuba until the hint of romance was dropped when onemine was introduced. Komi making 100 friends is still the main plot driver, that doesn't change, but the fear I had back then when romance subplot was introduced really came into reality, now some of the fanbase judging the manga on how the romance progressed and drop the rest of SoL stuff as filler even the romance itself is meant to be a subplot. It's kinda unfortunate really.
Edit: Fixed some spelling mistake.
