I don’t know, I might be in the minority...
But I just don’t see him with the friend he is currently in love with ... I think he is more in love with the idea of being with her, then her as a person ...
I hate when the girl who didn’t show any interest (like0) suddenly looks the man’s way, because he might not be chasing after her anymore.
I wasn’t fond of the idea there’s a fated person for you, but in this manga for some reason I’m on board with it.
