For ONCE can we get a manga where they don't fall back on this played out trope of lack of communication leading to missed opportunities leading to the main character's feelings changing? Like, I used to be hesitant AF in middle & high school, but if a girl asked to kiss me even I'd realize she likes me! If he realized that, he could easily confess his feelings and about his disease, and instead of a love triangle, the series could easily become a fulfilling romance where they're dating but can't kiss until they figure out a cure and they can kick that rapey guy he kissed to the curb. It's just sad seeing how these artists, and probably more so their editors, keep falling back on the same old boring tricks and never try to mix things up...
