You know, this makes more sense than her finally working up the courage. Failing the first time is pretty realistic, and this also makes Tadano perfectly aware of her feelings and giving a lot of thought to whether or not he wants to be with her like that, long before she actually confesses.
Also man, Isagi tried her best, and that's why she's a real one for that.
@Jmann Oh please, it'd be lamer if Tomohito disregarded the nervousness and stress of the situation and had her magically work up the courage.
@brainman Either you get a natural, realistic pace of events, or you waste the potential of the story. Pick one.
@Moodyz So Tadano is forever alone.
@panzerkampfwagyu Yeah? Then maybe don't be here.
@Sadisticmale Not sure if you've noticed, but this whole thing is slice of life.
