Why has he to be the one to ask 🥲..

He should totally exchange contacts with another girl in front of her, considering she always teases him, but her being so close to some random in class do be feeling weird 😶
You mean someone she is in a committee or something with is weird

By what it looked like they aren't necessarily only talking about the committee and looking how it's usually done in manga, committees have designated groups, without people needing to engage privately, so it did feel kinda weird how much interest he's showing in her (the rando), when she was almost more of the loner type so far

But yeah, guess what someone else responded before makes probably the most sense, that she just doesnt love mc yet, despite everything that happened like such stories like to do 😐

I 100% agree but you just can't read too much into it. This is like almost any romance manga ever- she isn't actually truly in love with him until ~THAT~ magical moment where she realizes. Yes, even after everything that happened.

At this point he is just a friend she likes to spend time with, the rando this chapter factually is just as close to her as he is. Engaging with MC outside of school hasn't even crossed her mind.
Getting super close to guys offscreen and some innocent flirts are a staple. Would recommend just trying to learn and enjoy it.
She's been down horrendous for him and him alone since chapter 2, he is the one being "average romcom love interest" and not actually being honest with himself about his feelings

She is indeed very much down bad for MC…it isn’t even a real question. Just last chapter they BOTH jumped with joy…and a few chapters before that he caught her jumping for joy over something he did. Ain’t no freaking way she isnt down bad for MC.

MC really is just in his own head at this point over the whole thing. Sure she has some other guy’s contact info, but it doesn’t actually mean anything. That panel of the conversation was just what he THINKS is happening, but I bet nothing is happening at all with that other guy.

That they chose Catcher in the Rye is very very funny to me! Catcher is one of the prototypes of edgelord media since the mass media age began. MC is a rambly sad sack loser while being the most pretentious asshole around. It's a favorite among lonely men who want to seem smart or superior! At least three murderers were carrying copies of the book when they did their murdering.

What does that mean for our manga couple? Maybe just signaling that he's feeling a little isolated after all that flirting. Or she is, since she brought it up.

"arent there any other fucking festivals?" is such a meta line haha. This whole chapter is just one giant joke about the "common highschool events used to progress romcom relationships". The MC is literally forcing plot development now, playing the author.

The manga really has no right being as sophisticated as it is for how simultaneously dumb it is.

Dude really needs to step up. I understand that some readers want the fmc to ask but in Japanese culture (actually more like Asian culture) it's up to the guy to initiate. If a woman was more forward then she can get terrible labels placed on her. It's unfortunate but that is their reality. Thanks for the chapter!!!

Did someone on the team just recently learn the word "cunt"? There have been two instances of it in the last three chapters that didn't suit the original Japanese, the characters, or the context. Even in British-English, which uses it far more casually than American-English, this usage wasn't quite the right flavour for how he usually talks (though far less egregious than when it referred to Eguchi). Still, this is worlds better than the gross all-chav-all-the-time translations a certain other group subjected a slough of shoujo works to. Thanks for all your hard work!
