Kurai Anoko to Shitai koto - Vol. 4 Ch. 47 - That Gloomy Girl's Worries

[Doomroar]

I mean, she’s already pouted about the potential of him joining the student council and she’s admitted to I forget who that he’s the person she’s closest to/most comfortable with. Like no she’s not gonna SAY he’s her friend but it’s absolutely obvious she considers him to be one. Reading the comments genuinely makes me think no one is capable of understanding subtext or subtlety. I mean for Christ sakes she’s spinning in circles thinking about buying him a gift, it’s painfully obvious at this point to anyone who doesn’t just blindly trust the literal words on page.

By your same logic why are you friendzoning him and don't jump ahead and say that she is in love instead and actually wants him to date her and be more than friends?

Simple

Because at the end of the day her tsuntsun bullshit is keeping them as classmates!
