That's also a stupid chapter. Why does he have to ask the friend for the permission to see the heroine? She's not her mother and even if she was, that would still be stupid.

he didn't "need" to, he said that himself. he did it out of kindness because he saw how much she cared for her.
Why would you say this

And if she said "no", the manga would have ended here... ?
Maybe it's because I think a relationship between two (potential) partners is something that should concern only themselves, to act that like the MC did feel too tepid and too weak to me and I see a couple as something "absolute", in a romantic way.
Well, writing words is great and all, however I really can't go past that chapter. It's my third try and my third failure. I guess I don't gel with the author's way of writing.

Obviously not he did it out of respect of the both of them not because he would be like “oh ok” and give up lmfao.

He wasn't asking for permission. He was asking how he could make Hoshina feel good about it, and do it without screwing things up for Kaoruko at the school. He'd have kept meeting her regardless, but this way he'd also get an ally and a friend.
you're so off the mark my dude

Characters talk about their feelings and everyone blushes.
This is not a shonen series. We're just supposed to believe it is shonen because the protagonist looks like a boy... yet the author quite clearly has never encountered someone with a Y chromosome because this is NOT how guys behave. This is how girls in shoujo series behave. Princess Rintaro is a shoujo protagonist in a shoujo ML's body. This is basically transgender representation at this point.
Am I going to be the first to point out that Kaoruko has a fairly noticeable rack. She is packing her bra. Yet nobody has said anything about it nor even glanced at her chest. Not once. Even when clichéd sexual predators had her pinned against a wall. Instead they're going on about love and friendship like Barney the Dinosaur. And we're supposed to believe this is a shonen series?

This comment is an excellent representation of the absolutely god awful state of shounen manga and its readers

Yeah, more like the fact that 90% of rom-com are trash woth endless fillers until progress forced by the axe.

She realized she was being overprotective? Self-awareness, good.
Man, I suppose I'm too effusive with praise for this, but really, the emotional intelligence in the writing just blows my mind. It's rare for me to see manga where the characters communicate like sane people in ways that don't always result in misunderstandings.
That part where Tsumugi asked Kaoruko about Subaru could've sparked a jealous misunderstanding in other manga, and I braced myself for that but it didn't happen. Kaoruko cheerfully handed the call over to Subaru, and I did not see any hint of jealousy, even when the call resulted in Tsumugi meeting Subaru alone. I might be speaking early but I'd like to think this is because Kaoruko trusts both Tsumugi and Subaru, that she has nothing to worry about. A developing romance rooted in trust is a very good sign.
Other titles could've milked this almost-drama dry for god knows how long, but this is resolved pretty quickly with effective, proper communication.

I've got no issue with things being improved, but THIS series does not represent an improvement in any way. It is garbage.
