Are you angry about Takamine-san? I agree with you that CF should have been the true love interest, but unfortunately, she isn't on the name of the series or in the cover

Not "angry," but more disappointed that the author threw away a really good opportunity for character development.
Normally love triangles are forced in and don't contribute much to the the overall plot. However, given the circumstances in Takamine, in which MC is used as more of an object that Takamine is possessive of and that, to his knowledge, she seems constantly abusive, having him get into a relationship with another girl, especially someone who seems as caring as Eri, would lead to some long-term reforms of Takamine's tsundere demeanor.
I can imagine some scenes where she confronts MC or accuses him of consorting with other women, and the tension between the two continues to escalate because he still thinks she's just using him because he knows her secret, and because she hasn't shown him any actual care or compassion. The series of events would probably lead to Takamine being more introspective about her behavior and how she thinks of MC as opposed to what she did, her coming to realize things like the false rape allegation, blackmail, and continued exercise of control over him is what drove him apart, and, realizing her mistake, she would rewind time to undo MC's relationship with Eri and fix her mistakes, starting her relationship with him and reconciling.
The reason I find that more preferable to the current state of the series is that it uses every character to further develop each other, and doesn't leave important plot points in the series to the side, nor does it ignore the behavior Takamine has exhibited and rather shows the consequences of it. Eri was the perfect character to do this set up with because she had a previous connection with MC and had the right demeanor to foil Takamine's, leading to a more reflective view of the situation. However, what we got essentially wrote her out of the work, wasted our time, and didn't progress any of our characters or develop them in a significant way, as well as ended up making any potential use of a third party to sway MC away from Takamine seem repetitive.
In other words, I'm upset at wasted opportunity for the series to use all the elements its setup and the tools in the toolbox to finish each character's arc in a satisfying way.

yeah, i get you, once i realized that the blackmail thing is the only thing that makes MC not go rogue, I felt disappointed too. When you think about it, MC isn't "dense", he's just convinced that everything Takamine says isn't serious or is just teasing because he believes that he's nothing but a tool for her. This new chapter shows that MC has no idea that Takamine wants to make him look at her that way, if only the yuri reveal was saved for 3 or 5 chapters later (although that's a lot of time, but i'm sure it's worth it), when it truly mattered, i'm sure it wouldn't be as bad.

@Richman If it was another series, where the Female lead was a different character and Eri wasn't so endearing to some many as an alternative, I'd be fine with it, but it just seems forced and like we just wasted all that time for no reason, especially when it wasted the perfect chance for character development and introspective. There's other aspects I don't like about it, like how it's implied the only reason she's into women is because she went to an all-girl's middle school, or how she notes that the "boy-girl" thing isn't an issue with MC SPECIFICALLY is only there to mislead us and is contradictory to information received later, but those compliments are secondary to the fact it took what could have been good writing in the big picture to bad
I don't like the idea of Takamine never being framed as being in the wrong for her actions or that MC should be solely deemed responsible for being dense, when, to his knowledge, he is trying to appease a psychopath who is using him as a tool, and I especially don't like that there's no third party who will help him out of him or take his side.

I would like to see Takamine break MC so bad that he is left soulless and commits a tragedy, the author could do a "Bunny girl senpai" episodes 5-6 where (this is a "heavy" spoiler [Also, I don't remember if it is those 2 episodes specifically])
, No Spoilers; Didn't Read, a redemption arc.
@Sterven
It is not the yuri what bothered Tamerlane, it was the way it was presented, basically
Like I said, if the yuri reveal was saved for literally any number of chapters other than 1 later, it wouldn't have been that much of a problem

Laplace's Demon simulates an entire possible future and then returns to the present, so nothing happened in the first place. In Takamine's case, perhaps finally seeing her loved one destroyed makes her open her eyes to all of the bad things she's done to him and make her use her power (maybe one last time) to her full extend in order to return to the past and repair their relationship by not using the blackmail as a leash.

Takamine (main girl) likes MC, but is a bitch and blackmails him and MC becomes her wardrobe (time travel power that only works by removing undies), bla bla bla, shit happens and MC reunites with his FemaleChildhoodFriendTM, and she's very light with the touching (she goes all over MC), she teases MC and after a while maingirl arrives and sees them practically flirting, maingirl is angry at CF because she doesn't like her being so close with MC, however, it is revealed that CF is actually gay and has a girlfriend, wasting a chapter, wasting a character, wasting a potential plotline and wasting our time, also, this is effectively backpeddaling progress that was made (as shown on this new chapter), not that it was much to begin with.

Fuck it, go full Killer Queen: Bites the Za Dusto. Would be better than this direction @Richman
Also I should note, that yuri like in Pashiri na Boku to Koisuru Banchou-san doesn't bother me too much because it's established early on, helps contribute to characterization and contributes to the overall story, even if it's not my thing. (Though, Matsuri's end of the arc is a bit rushed and does a 180 at the end, it's still earned overall)
Still want an alternate story where it's Yukata x Unoki because I feel like they have a better dynamic, but that's another issue.
