The Ramparts of Ice (Book Version) - Vol. 3 Ch. 28 - The Wrong Thing to Say

[EchoGirl]

thats just how the average shipper acts

It's awkward when it's your irl/friend group, then again at that age ppl are always into 'fixing' ppl up/playing cupid, as well as 'mixers' being a part of JP culture even at a young age versus some work/drinking party lol (must be a nightmare for ppl who's closeted that keeps getting hit on by straight guys tho)

That said I'd prolly prefer him together with Koyuki more than Minato, tho based on the vol 12 and 13 covers, it seems like Endgame pairs will be Koyun/Minato and Miki/Youta (tho vol 7 also gives off 'flirty' vibes to me, maybe they'll all eventually date each other and see what works lol, tho awkward to date an ex of someone in ur friend group too, it's not necessarily something too taboo but i remember in the places i went to it was like a 'one week etiquette' before publicly going out with another person, then again with smartphones these days and if they happen to live near each other or chill relatives being able to give a ride [then again in JP you can get a ride anywhere, but i mean like to a house than a public cafe or so, i'm sure there'd be ppl that'd date someone the next day but try to keep it underwraps for a bit, even tho teens usually can't keep their mouths shut])

I shipped them too until a certain chapter.

She seems to me to be reversing from her initial "oh no, what if they get together and leave me alone" into "I ship them and wish them happiness". There is also the guilt from thinking she "broke" Koyun when it comes to dating by pushing Igarashi on her and making her dating-averse. I think her initial scared reaction should not be discarded when analyzing her way of thinking, she seems to be trying to cope.

Where is the, "oh no, what if they get together and leave me alone?" Genuinely curious

On this page, the dark shading combined with her looking at them from behind, alone, with weird expression, made me feel like she thought that. But it wasn't said anywhere, so maybe I just got the intended emotional message of the scene's visuals wrong.

I see what your saying now.

In that panel I was thinking Miki was thinking "wait what if they get together and she gets hurt gets hurt. no, wait Youta wouldn't do anything that'd hurt Koyuki. If those two started dating that could work."
