Beach chapter huh.... Tis the season. So the usual beach tropes, pushy guys and sunscreen application, all that jazz. All there is; is to bank on a good swimsuit. Modest, or bold? I'll put some money down on modest.
3 chapter backlog.... Literally nothing happened. 0 progress. They're exactly the same place they were 40 chapters ago. Him simping, her defenseless.
I hate to say but this just isn't enjoyable for me anymore. I'm not seeing "ooh, how cute!" I'm just seeing "so when will their relationship actually progress?" it took Akutsu-san almost 150 chapters, IIRC, before they started dating. But aside from a few dry spells most of those chapters at least progressed their relationship from "her being a pest" to "they're friends" to "they caught feelings" to finally "they confess."
Dude still playing all innocent and pure but he's obviously horned up for her wanting to see her in compromising positions
SO WHY DOES HE NOT MAKE A FUCKING MOVE ALREADY
I like this manga as a weekly read, but for those who pick it up now to read the 48, it must be tiring. It's the author's first work, so he must be trying to extend the story, but it ended up becoming a ridiculous situation where they sleep in the same bed for a year and he still wonders if she likes him, as if she would do that with anyone.
What the fuck is "defenseless" about trying to whistle? Is it just your sex-starved brain that sees something in everything because you haven't gotten any despite sleeping with a girl for a year?
