For once, this manga didn't make me wanna punch my bedside lamp.
Eri is immune to insults, super respectful, sweet, and if that wasn't enough, she's hot as fuk. Literally perfect for this manga. And while I don't think she wants to go beyond childhood friend status, she sure can get Takamine worried and accelerate the progress. Please, Hiiragi, give us more Eri. Takamine is just so hard for me to like, though it kinda makes sense that she's always accusing Shirota of being a perv, since her own mind's in the gutter the second there's a new girl around him.
Aaaaand, Shirota is still a mega doorknob I can't stand. I hope when this manga ends, we can all look back and say "Remember how this guy couldn't even say no to her? He sure has come a long way".
Pretty good chapter. And thanks for the TL.
