This arc played out really badly, but I guess that was to be expected since from the start Alice was portrayed as a tropy passive dark-haired love interest with no characterization who is just a plot device to make the already inhumanly in control MC (in this case secondary character) look even more above it all.

What should have been their story was for Koroko's arrogance to finally cause a disaster and for Alice to come to her aid in spite of her hurt feelings. Making Koroko see how all of this time she was too scared of showing people her true feelings and wear a mask of pride that brought forth her downfall in the end.
At the very least Alice shouldn't have been portrayed as the nearly completely void of personality, spineless appendage to Koroko she was. And at the very least Koroko should have been the one to emotionally ask Alice whether they could be friends again.
WIthout this boring fanservicey relationship, this manga would have been near perfect. Naboro and Yukino are just amazing. But Alice and Koroko drag this down to just another story that could have been much better than it is.

Ahhhhhh yesssss kiss kiss kiss

Not everything has to be perfect, @Pachka84! Some mangas might do it "perfectly", while others do it this way, and I think that's fine

Bad comment, Pachka.

Just first time reading, but

Spoiler

I guess this arc has to be an over all plot device to get the divisions together on the higher up level, so that a protection from above is doing the pathing for the main MC couple to develop. Like making the ball a setup to overcome the "unease" of botan and shakuyaku. Looking forward to see if my speculation will be right.

This arc is a bit over the top in the drama department and is somewhat messy, not at least because so many characters conspire to get them together again. But overall i don't think that it was to boring. Just a bit rough in the progress, like if the storyboard wasn't thought out that well.

@Pachka84 nice fanfic you got there. Too bad it's still filled with unremarkable tropes.
