Miageru to Kimi wa - Vol. 3 Ch. 20 - Shuuji and Kaede

[Hamin]

confusing due to a lot of vague dialogue. But I think what's important to grasp is they really care for them as friends and want the best for them. Perhaps since the main duo is going out now, there might be foreseeable issues that these friends what to look out for? Or maybe these friends have their own romantic feelings they're trying to deal with? Or maybe it all comes down to "change" as well where all these characters want to move forward and here we have our main duo doing just that while the others haven't quite gone through such an experience. I feel like this chapter was a kind of stopping point to reflect on how the main duo becoming a pair affects the ones closest to them.

Someone pointed out in a previous comment that a lot of this vagueness has to do with the japanese language, which I agree is likely the issue here. It's such a great and complex language.

It smells like red herring here. Japanese authors like to use vague or double meanings.

I'm pretty sure that this chapter is saying that Kaede and Shuuji are both gay. Kaede is in love with Takamine and Shuuji is in love with Yuuki. They are both there to decide if there best friends are good for each other and if they'll be happy together, that is what they want most for them is to be happy.

Pages 15 - 17 I think hint at this the most.

@lightingcloud Aight so the deal here is that both of the protag's best friends are in love... with their best friend. Yes in a gay romantic way. They're also concerned for their general wellbeing
