I knew this one was gonna come out swinging but I didn't imagine I'd get Kanie on Honoka's lap 😭😭😭 dreams do come true
Many interesting things in the character dynamics. I really enjoy how the author has eased us from one romance to the other. I think it's very clear by now that, at least for the foreseeable future, the couple to watch is Kanie (Ryosuke??? !!) and Honoka, but that hasn't really made Honoka's relationship with Iida falter. If anything, the closer they get, their friendship just grows stronger. Iida confiding in her and finding strength in her words to spur him into action is so heartwarming. I like the way they're settling into this friendship a lot. Suzukawa doesn't give a damn about Kanie fksfdjs loved that she was like "wow lucky guy haha" when he got to lie on Honoka's lap. Nina and Tsuboi are cute lol
And Kanie!!! Man, his feelings (or at least his attraction) are a lot stronger than I thought. He reacted so strongly to the name! But of course, sudden intimacy like that... and then he twisted it to his favour lmao. He had me second guessing a lot in the past few chapters. Ever since he began giving signals, I was always like "but... is he serious..." so no wonder Hono-chan never picked up on it until right now. That moment was drawn so lovely... the shadows, their faces, the silence. So electric. It's fun seeing Honoka dip into awareness of what their relationship has been leading up to /could be. And so awkward about it hehe it's fun to see her conscious of him now, when she pats him so easily and gives up so much without thought usually. Man, I really hope he makes her nervous soon.
