One of them's gonna confess to the other and actual progress happens?
Or it turns out she likes the other guy and we end up in some sort of pseudo-NTR situation of the MC's own making where he angsts over the fact that the the girl he likes actually likes his other friend (which ends up remedied because tomboy girl actually likes him)
or is this this just the beginning of a typical romance manga holding pattern where nothing happens for 50 chapters because the author is terrified by the prospect of progress because it means putting in actual effort to grow and develop the characters beyond the constant tension and teases?
I've been burned before by stuff that looks like it's going to start out down one path only to veer headlong into dark, awful territory. So when things start looking good in a series there's always this moment of trepidation about whether it's all a facade before the darkness.
