Chiharu's transformation was as fast as a hypersonic missile
I think the issue is that Keigo understands Chiharu since she confesses everything in the dream world, but Chiharu doesn't understand Keigo since she remembers nothing from the dream world so she's basically still stuck in chapter 1 mode where she is unintentionally sabotaging herself by overthinking things.Wait, so let me get this straight… I understand why Chiharu doesn’t confess—she’s shy, afraid, and whenever she does try to make a move, Keigo’s blank expression throws her off. She can’t read what he’s thinking, so she panics and retreats.
But with Keigo, I'm not really convinced by the reasoning. The idea seems to be that even if he confesses and they start dating, it wouldn’t be a healthy relationship because he struggles to express emotion, which would just make Chiharu more anxious since she still wouldn’t be able to read him.
I get it… but at the same time, it’s a bit of whiplash. We’ve seen how naturally cute and affectionate they are in the dream world, so going from that to them hesitating and overthinking how to even start a relationship feels a bit jarring.
That said, I’m still really enjoying it. Seeing them embrace each other—even if it’s only in a dream, especially this early on—is genuinely sweet.
Thanks for the translation.

Consequently Keigo is kinda overthinking things too because he is trying to make himself readable to Chiharu. So it's a funny little story of two people stumbling around in love.
Yeah, 100%—that’s why I give Chiharu the benefit of the doubt. From her perspective, nothing has really changed, so her hesitation makes sense.
With Keigo, I might’ve been a bit too harsh. I can tell he’s genuinely trying to improve and become more expressive so she can actually understand him better.
