Common ground like the numerous things they have in common or the mutual respect they have for each other?Opposite personalities usually don't complement each other well, there must be some common ground for it to work or at least, some freedom for each in the couple to be oneself without having to adapt to the other all the time.
Honestly, I'm rather social but I like some time alone. I could not have supported someone as pushy as Noa, and I'm feeling in the last chapters that Rihito is sometimes a bit annoyed that Noa is sticking to him all the time. I would be at his place for sure.
The only big differences between them are how reserved Rihito is, how impulsive Noa is, and how sociable they are. Otherwise they do very much get along, as we’ve seen for 23 chapters now.
A lot of readers make the mistake of self-inserting themselves as Rihito and therefore imagining Noa as annoying or hard to deal with, but they’re fictional characters and the story is clearly depicting them as good friends - even if their energy levels don’t align. Rihito has already explicitly told Noa that he doesn’t think she’s annoying, he just prefers time to himself.
Also, at a certain point it doesn’t matter how possible this friendship would be in real life. This is fiction. Just like we accept it as normal that Goku can shoot lasers from his hands, it’s best to just accept their relationship as is. Certain things just probably won’t be explored because this is a specific type of slice of life friendship/romance comedy. Not a drama or character exploration. Suspension of disbelief and all that.
