I think I've realised why this manga annoys me despite having a story I'm at the least intrigued by:

Very rarely does this conform to the basic format of a 4-koma: of setup, development, punchline, resolution. I get that mixing it up or subverting it can be fun or innovative, but this is neither.

Contrast this with what I consider the greatest yonkoma of all time:

4 panels, 8 words, and 4 poses to express a surprisingly nuanced and yet puerile joke that I've been laughing at for at least 5 years.

Awkward to talk about emotions but it's not like she necessarily asked him for some distance right?

Of all examples you chose that. Based and pisspilled, as they say. Hilarious comic
