It'll be the best outcome from this chapter. Else, I'll be dissapointed if she was going by every lenght just for to be noticed by him
It's how I would write this, were I the author. The handling of each character has been pretty good thus far in the story, so Akira being the one to take a dive in narrative quality compared to her sisters would feel really weird.

But if you say that this time around it isn‘t about being cute but more so about being confident and true to one‘s self, then why can‘t she be more confident about him? Turning this into "every guy instantly noticed so now, his fault, he needs to feel like shit and jealous to finally do something“ when their relationship was perfectly fine for their age is kinda sad.

Also, I might’ve misunderstood but was that actually a 2 week time skip? And she somehow didn‘t interact with him at all but only focused on self improvement and becoming popular? Right after all that progress?
Shit must sting, poor schmuck.
Akira's mindset only changed because she thinks she's being rejected. It's more in the line of "Man, if I can't get my crush to like me, might as well do whatever."

I think the change in mind is that Akira doesn't consider herself "cute" or "honest." What she doesn't consider cute is the way she covers up her feelings by acting up or lashing out. Look at how she admires her sisters who are more true to themselves, and even when they get flustered by their feelings they don't get super defensive.

So now she's changing by having more confidence in who she is and being true to herself. And self-confidence is very attractive, especially when the girl herself is already on the attractive side as-is. Which also explains why she looks so much cuter in the last panel; she's not burdened by insecurity or fussing over what other people think of her.
