I'll be honest; with the speed the chapters come out, I legit forgot who everyone else is since it's only been the same trio for most of the story so far lol. Saionji is a bro though.

"oh, look at me, criticizing a fictional, awkward, virgin, teen, with asocial tendencies. DUH~~"
Sorry I hurt your fellings cuh, I actually wanted to criticize the author, as you can interpret the "these types of MCs", as in authors that decide to use them, In summary, I DID NOT criticize the MC for existing, but in fact, the author that chose to use the trope.

I'm not sure any reason would really truly satisfy me after the characterization up to this point if I'm honest, but getting something to explain why he's being this way and not simply because of the typical

"I'm just not good enough for her and that's what I've decided on my own so I'll keep her at arm's length because I'm convinced it would be inconvenient for her if we showed any affection toward one another whatsoever"

nonsense, would be nice.
Well, when it get adapted to manga, you will state your updated opinion then.

(Can't say hiz back-story cuz it's a waterfall of spoilers)

Interesting with that last page focusing on 3 of the girls at the table. Charlotte is obvious, but we'll be seeing how the other 2 girls play into the developing story.
One of those 2 girls is closer to Akihito than some of you may think

we've yet to be shown why MC acts the way he does. someone else spoiled it in one of the earlier chapters.

MC basically feels responsible for his football team losing nationals, because of his "family/parental" situation, where he, an orphan, is adopted by some big shot, chinese guy who wanted his team to win against MCs team. hence why he keeps everyone at arms length.

Oh I came around on the MC being the way he is for good reason, as of several chapters ago.

I did not get spoiled specifics, but the tone of what I was told made it seem like he actually is justified in his behavior, at least in terms of how he views everything.

It's just that sans that actual meta-knowledge, he very much reads as a rather egregious example of the "selfish MC who decides to keep the FMC at arm's length despite her desires to the contrary because he's stupidly self-sacrificing and would absolutely lose the love interest if she weren't forced by the plot to fixate on him" trope.

So depending on the actual specifics of his backstory, I will see just how justified his behavior in all this is. I'm guessing it's sufficient, but mostly to be charitable to the author and not condemn them prematurely out of ignorance.

They don't take up the entire sidewalk. Why would they walk side by side? The city is anyway full of people, especially at that time when school is ending. All the students are leaving their schools, aide from those sticking to their clubs, many are heading to prep schools. Some adults would also be ending their work shift around that time. Besides, are you saying they don't belong there? High school kids don't belong on the sidewalks?
Yeah, but guess what. They are usually breaking off into smaller groups, that don't usually exceed a certain number of people per group, going in different directions from the school. Not as an entire mass of over 20 people.

Once again, it doesn't matter if they aren't side by side. If they are, it doesn't matter if it's a smaller group, they will potentially block other people. Although if the sidewalk is of reasonable width, two people side by side usually doesn't cause any problems. The only problem with them walking there all at once is that they may feel silly walking in a single file or double file, as a big group. They might feel like they are kindergarteners or something. Might be quite a big problem, actually, for high schoolers.
