I'm glad she had her revelation to be a character in the story and not the outlooker, but given how this was at the core of her character narrative, I would have expected a more explosive & emotional scene. Granted, in some way, it's quite fitting for Kiyoka to do all this mental legwork in her own room on a random saturday evening
On the other hand, Aida-kun's lack of character got really exposed here. It's like the author wanted to highlight some positive points about him and Hinaki but then realized there wasn't anything to say and defaulted on a "he called out to me!" which is really scraping the bottom of the barrel in regards to positive character traits...
Said it some weeks back and I'll say it again: This manga has some excellent ideas its exploring, Miyako's and Hinaki's characters, while simple on the surface, have some real meat to them in ways that don't often get covered in these romcoms. But the author also doesn't really seem capable of adding much past these initial few ideas. It might sound contradictory, but it's like the manga is both deep and shallow at the same time. It has a few deep ideas, but other than that, the rest is all shallow. So shallow, in fact, that it makes one constantly second-guess if these deep ideas are really even there. Maybe its just the target demographic, it being a shounen and all. Maybe the author isn't trying to construct anything too intricate, but wants to play with some more uncommon ideas. Which, if so, is a bit of a shame, because you could really write a damn interesting romance story given this current setup.
