Jeez I hope this is a false flag and he's not actually a rival character. Because a new one, already?? That's just lazy ass writing, we just got done with one rival, plus the MCs literally just got together too.
They're having house-dates! I love how comfortable they are with each other (and have their friends' approval).
I doubt hasegawa is going to have much of an impact outside of maybe giving an opportunity for Akane to be vocal about her feelings. Besides, they're officially together and her stint at the store isn't going to be for much longer anyway.
Yamada's gentleness swayed my heart. But suddenly the rival made an appearance and ruined the mood. What the heck, it's unfairrr
On side notes, I don't like this manga pacing things up. Not to mention the chapter's short nature and everything is forced to move forward.
He's not a rival. He's an interference. Why would she suddenly change feelings for Yamada. We're passed the point of any serious rival. Pushy playboy creep? Sure
Oh noooo here it comes.... I don't like rival arcs but at the same time we'll get to see Yamada's jealous/possesive side He's already so flirty urghhh I'm so conflicted about thiss XD
