finally some fucking honest talking, this took way too long
Houjou cooked the cook💀🔥
Not sure why people are saying this is the end? He's opening up to her that doesn't mean that he's going to confess and/or they're going to start dating right away. The "she" in the title can means women in general not just Houjou.Man, I don't want the ride to end yet.
The nice thing is it doesn't break the continuity of both characters' arc, and in fact fulfills them. Ever since that scene in the riverside where they got each others' LINE contact, then finding the missing earring, MC's thoughts have been starting to soften and think he can trust her. FMC has always been eccentric somewhat but the earring scene (and the house visit chapter and going back for the phone and meeting the brother) just made this episode's interaction make sense.Imagine if more manga used the setup for an actual payoff instead of either abandoning the premise to chase tropes, use the premise as an excuse for things to remain stale, or just add more girls when things get "boring".
This was a great chapter, the author handled it splendidly. I was holding my breath for this moment and it was delivered very well.
I like how both characters took control of the situation in a way, I mean it was a mutual push and pull, the story didn't rely on coincidences or some character pushing them together particularly hard I think. We did get some wise words from an older character trope, but I don't think it was what made it all possible.
