I came back to reread this chapter, and GODDAMN, the writing of this story is so good, makes the monthly drama in the new chapter comment sections seem so petty.
All characters are trying their best in their own ways, nobody deserves to lose, Renako and everyone else is growing and learning every chapter. The drama is acceptably spicy and interesting, the flirting is adorable. 10/10
I can't wait for the inevitable anime adaptation, it's gonna be glorious.
