Hi everyone reading this comment forum right now, I’m just curious and want to ask, what the hell do people expect from this manga anymore? It’s just beating the hell around the bush about romance and a whiny Noa who doesn’t bother changing and it’s almost been 100 chapters with no one growing in the story except Rhihito. Are people expecting them to get together? Is that even the mangaka’s goal? From the general perception of other comments i think people are vehemently against Noa getting together with Rhihito because he doesn’t deserve a whiny bitch on his ass 24/7 7 days a week, but then what’s the point of this manga anymore if progress doesn’t exist?
I’m probably reading too much into it and it’s just slice of life lmao. Also maybe handholding counts as progress. As long as they do it. And the mangaka censors it of course
As much as I also enjoy the "Bruh please leave her, your sanity ain't worth it" memes as well.
I think the whole point is that BOTH of them are people who have a fundamental issue with social interaction. Rihito, for as much as we idolize our boy. Is almost as unhealthy in his complete detachment from others and his clearly emotionally stunted nature. He was quite literally apathetic to every friendship he's ever been in. He just never cared. Being friends? Sure, as long as its convenient.
Noa is kind of the perfect counter balance, like it or not she will not allow someone to be apathetic to her. You will acknowledge her, even if that acknowledgement is complete disdain.
For Rihito though, other than seemingly his sister. No one has ever really challenged his mindset of "friendships of convenience". I think him slowly grown to care for Noa despite the fact that she is, fankly, a massive pain is how the series is showing their development.
She is doing her best to understand boundaries. As terrible as she is at it. And he is learning that genuinely caring for another person is more fulfilling then coasting through life on neutral settings.
I do think the will end up together but I do think we have a bit more growth to see from the two before that will make sense.
