@mark1246 I honestly have 0 read on how this manga will go. It could end soon, we could go back to status quo and forget this arc ever happened, so we'll see.
@RC1138Boss she gave him a none answer by mentioning lanka it has been implied that hitomi also likes Jin from the first confession the only reason why they don’t progress is Hitomi doesn’t want to make lanka sad and ruin the friendship they currently have.
