Takou no Koori Hime wo Tasuketara, Otomodachi kara Hajimeru Koto ni Narimashita - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - The Readiness to Fall in Love

This is just another cultural difference. I know it doesn’t make much sense to us Westerners, but for the Japanese, you’ve gotta clearly define what kind of relationship you have with people. Not sure how long you’ve been reading manga, but this whole thing about defining relationships is super common. It’s not unusual in manga to see characters who’ve known each other for a while freaking out when they find out one of them already thinks of the other as a friend.

Clearly it is, im still gonna talk shit about it because its ridiculous

When author takes "one step at a time" too seriously. Not that i dislike it tho. I LOVE IT

Aye fam, starting out as friends is something plus she knows that's she's in love meanwhile our slightly dense mc is hiding his feeling, hopefully some good stuff happens in the future

Friendship? ONLY?

 

[Glipmine]

Imagine having the girl you like coming all the way to your school just to friendzone you. Lmao

 

[colorlesseatstomboys]

Girl that's not just a punch, that's the whole boxing ring.
Also that's technically not a friendzone, since she did say she wants to be friends with someone before she dates them.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that.

"Would you like be friends with me?"

Minoru: Wait, weren't we already?

Exactly, Japanese is all about the subtleties (Please cook for me forever is a proposal). Asking to be friends here is actually more powerful than confessing. Only issue is if he's too dense to follow the trail.

daaamn their friends playing chess with this two hahaha, but Hayama was better.
the look of those 2 hahaha, like they got busted 😂😂

 

[Devil2475]

she being yandere?

 

[rozert]

Poor Kirika ahahahahah

 

[kmd3133]

im happy that this has some real development but she came all that way to say ''be my friend'' meanwhile all the people watching thinks she confessed or something. also kirika saying spare my life or her face when shinonome said thank you was so funny.

 

[Freestyle]

pretty quick development, its nice to see her getting another friend to talk to about this as well although she made a huge leap in logic lol

 

[Hollow7F]

"would you like to be friends with me?"
that's the stupidest shit in a romance manga and sadly we've seen it happening a lot...

my guy...this is her literally planting the base to being lovers
she said before that the reason she rejected all the confessions was coz she would like for them to be friends first before asking her out

so again, shes literally preparing for their future with this move
