It would be great if he said yes, they kiss, then he looks over and locks with Hanabi as she got hit by a bus

When he said marker I thought she dropped a marker pen, but it turns out it was a bookmark.

Keep pushing, Fumi. I'm glad she isn't the type to quickly give up the moment he said "I'm sorry" as part of a sentence.

On the other hand, I'm not really enjoying how this guy is hesitating now of all times. Now is not the time for his broken self-esteem to rear its ugly head (I don't quite remember but wasn't he already supposed to have overcome this by now?)... and he's waffling around for an answer.

I'd like to hope for the best but this guy isn't helping me feel confident about that. I understand he has relationship trauma, but couldn't he have known Fumi even a bit better by now? And that after the last arc it feels that he should've already gotten a little bit of character development. I don't think a guy would go through all that risk and go so far to help if he didn't have any feelings for her.

Just don't tell me he still hasn't changed from the day he broke up with Hanabi. Or worse, character regression to provide artificial tension to this situation.

So she basically saw him water plants and clean the blackboard a few times, and that was enough to make her fall in love. She literally knew nothing at all about him. It feels kinda hard to believe, but I guess it's not impossible that someone would develop a crush like that, but that just makes her seem kinda shallow. I think it would've been quite sufficient if she fell in love with him because of what he's done since he broke up with Hanabi, some of that stuff is genuinely impactful. But making her having been in love with him since before just makes it less believable. It feels a bit like those romcoms where a guy meets a girl seemingly randomly, they gradually develop a relationship through various events and incidents and it feels like they are developing feelings for each other in a natural way, but then as we start getting close to the confession it suddenly turns out the girl is like this childhood friend that the guy forgot and that she's been in love since they were five, and it feels completely superfluous because it retcons her entire character arc for the sake of a boring, shallow plot twist.
