You seem to forget Sumika has been on Konako's mind for quite a long time now. She barely thinks of Hime in most of the chapters now. I can honestly see this going either way.I think everybody is just too hopeful of Kanoko.
She has said several times that she doesn't love Sumika romantically and I think this kiss was a "calm down" kinda act, so Sumika would stop crying.
I don't think she just all of sudden fell in love or started to.
And if indeed she isn't falling in love this kiss was just another egoistic act from her.
if you don't know people can love multiple humans at once and is common knowdledge and there is point where they are choosing todidn’t we just read the last chapter were Kanako makes it clear she still loves hime romanticaly? how did she changed out of god damn nowere just because for some stupid reason she whats to repay sumika by giving her an relationship, and she can’t for some stupid reason not just be friends and stop draging sumika on an lost path WASTING time and affection kanako so she might some DAY FINALY stop loving Hime, and like Sumika! cuz sure it works like that! ugh i hate Kanako can’t wait to be done with this dumb bitch
also this traumatized her for loveyou say this as if Nene didn't intentionally and systematically blow up her personal and working relationships with Sumika by playing a manipulative romance game, then hid from the emotional fallout it saddled Sumika with for the better part of a year
Kanoko saying this is also probably part of her loving Hime and she didn't want to admit having other person she love in heart we have plenty of chapters before and we can saw her acting as she realy love Sumika but still don't want to admit thisI think everybody is just too hopeful of Kanoko.
