Hinaki is the princess??

Thanks for the chapter - just a bit more and this will be wrapped up!

Looks like what I was thinking of that will be the setup of these 3 is shaping up. Hinaki who hates romantic relationships will be the trio's 3rd wheel with pretty much Kiyoka and Shunsuke always happy to have her around. It also seems that Hinaki is also starting to appreciate her own alone time when it is needed so it won't be an issue if Kiyoka and Shunsuke will need time alone together. Comically, Hinaki will be living up to her role of the stereotypical childhood friend to the letter, but being the Princess as the title of the story suggested, it won't matter as long as she remains a precious friend to the two hopeless lovers which she now holds dear to her heart.

Yeah - I feel like this was always the case

I want to believe that Kiyoka is finally winning for real, but their refusal to officially make their ambiguous relationship clear is keeping me from feeling at ease. I can at least appreciate that totally-not-a summer date they just had at the library. It was cute. I feel like that was a really smart wing girl move by Hinaki to have her birthday at Shunsuke's place. They all celebrate her birthday, and Kiyoka gets to actually visit his home.

But he better shape up to be Kiyoka's boyfriend (if they ever start using labels, whatever). Dude didn't even know her birthday...
