I think this is the chapter where it goes headfirst off the deep end. I'm rereading and this one feels like the second major tone shift (the first being around ch.10, when it switched from generic twitter romcom to the actual series)
it's to talk about Hajime's perspective and how he views his friends and how he treats them. Mostly about how he treats Yuka differently from everyone else.
It’s crazy how this manga can almost make sense for a few pages and then somebody mentions the Martian behind the candyshop owner’s ear and suddenly you’re thrust back into wondering if anything you’ve experienced up to this point is real.
