Once again best girl doing best girl things

Rintaro is absolutely correct. Most guys don't care if girls eat a lot. Being picky with what you eat is worse.

I think what I really like about these two is that despite both being incredibly selfless characters, they also don't want to sacrifice themselves or what they enjoy for their relationship. They want to live their best lives together without compromising anything, and that's what makes them stand out so much

Getting to see Kaoruko enjoy herself with food is a joy in itself for Rintaro, and I'm super glad he told her upfront about it. The power of proper communication is amazing. Not only did she herself ultimately decide not to worry ("it'd be rude to him") and just be herself, what he said completely confirmed that she made the right choice on their date. That's right girl, you don't get to go out on dates often, so make the most out of it.

I feel like many other romances would've gone with the big eater girl skimping out on food for laughs, but not this one. Kaoru Hana be like: we don't do that here. This story treats its characters with respect.

ps. Mio has an older sister? I'd like to see her. And is that the donut lover pair having trouble picking snacks? Finally, that page 15 is Rintaro getting invited to a meal at the Waguri house. Our good boy finally meets Kaoruko's mother and little brother! Hoping for the best...
