Are you people stupid? If she's so much in love with him, why HE has to be the one to confess? Can't she do that? You are calling him "cuck", "pussy", "coward", but in reality, she likes him as much or even more. Isn't she as much afraid as him? Why it always has to be the man? Quick reminder, those are supposed to be ADULT characters, not some 13 y/o kids. Both characters are stupid and the stupidest person in this entire mess is an author, who's pulling such a bullshit chapter.
Stop blaming characters and start blaming author for having no balls to say "no" to his editor, so he stalls the story, keeping it "maybe" harem, instead making an actual progress. This is what divides good creator from bad one - they value their work, instead agreeing to every shit their editor tells them to do.
i see a lot of people angry at the protag, but the one that PLANNED ALL THIS SHIT WASNT HIM, ITS HER!!!

WHY DIDN'T SHE CONFESS?! WHY IS HE THE ONE THAT HAS TO CONFESS?! like, it aint only his fault!

she flew too close to the sun and her wings melted!
I think she wanted to, but seeing him back off and request to forget about that day made her stop. She all but made it clear that she was into him, and that he has to decide at some point.

But she's also not going to force something if he's still uncomfortable with taking the step towards a relationship.

I honestly thought she didn't do badly there.

I do of course agree that it isn't any gender's "job" to confess, but I also think that forcing the issue when one of them is visibly afraid to take the step isn't constructive either. She's letting him off the hook not because she wants him to confess, she's doing it because the chicken MC is too scared.

How do you even miss this 1000 % chance shot... like wtf dude, HE fumbled her but I feel the embarassment and cringe.

She was testing the ground. Not even testing, she's outright saying "Hey I want to suck you off, are you okay with that? I am dead serious", and he hits her with "naaah bro I am good". Crazy but people DON'T want to get rejected and feel pain. She did everything and even more. It's not a subtle clue you can somehow miss, it's not "huh she's just friendly", it's an open invitation to date. Giant illuminated runway leading right into her pussy. You must be blind and deaf to not understand what's going on.

Also, as another person already said, she doesn't want to make it even more awkward for the both of them and at least left the room to remain friends.

"B-buh why she didn't do all the job???" She invited him, pursued him, held him like he's a fucking Cinderella, he's supposed to be a man and main character here, not her. Maybe she should also ask him to marry her? Like come on bro. He deserves no confession at this point, he desreves to die alone.

And yes I do blame the author- why even put a second, much superior!, love interest in the story, if she serves zero purpose and just here to get rejected. There's no triangle and no drama, it's just fucking weird and strange... because I'd rather read a series about her.

y'know I always knew it was going to be this way. I've been saying for the last few chapters "how could it possibly end any other way" bc I knew for damn sure that the author would rug pull ts.

ill hold onto hope but my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Ah man, Raimondo beefed it.

It's a little itchy when you watch someone miss such an easy lay-up. But this is an important moment for the characters. She took a step to be brave, and he chickened out. He probably lost his friendship, too. And now he has to learn from it and grow.

It wasn't meant to be, team.

If you think about it, everyone in this story is a failhead. Girl who can't pass high school because of liberal arts classes. Guy who was and still is a shy loner. Girl who is failing art school because she just wants to make anime smut. etc, etc.

I'd like to offer a different perspective than all of the angry apes throwing shit at each other in this comment section.

First of all, I too am disappointed in Saraki, but not because he "fumbled". What y'all need to understand is that HE DOESN'T LIKE HER IN A ROMANTIC SENSE, at least not yet. I mean, he JUST realized how cute she is, and all of a sudden hes in love with her? That's not how that works! And even if he was in love with her, why would he immediately confess? Im willing to bet not a single one of yall who are calling him a coward would have to courage to confess to a friend AS SOON as you start to like them, and why would you? That'd be incredibly stupid!!

"Oh but she's throwing herself at him!", she's not, and if you look closely, you'll see she's actually doing the opposite. She's pressuring him and, in my opinion, acting much more cowardly than he is. She's getting in his face, asking him questions like "why did you call me cute?" and "do you like me?" and then getting angry when he pulls himself back together and draws a line in their relationship, all the while not making things clear on her end and even threatening their friendship by implying (or at least trying to, I dont think he got the message) that if they don't grow closer together (by means of forming an actual romantic relationship), they might grow apart instead. Like, girl, why should HE be burdened by YOUR anxieties? YOU should confess even if with the possibility of rejection, don't try to coerce him into liking you just because you're too afraid to confess.

Now, why am I disappointed in Saraki, even though I don't think he "fumbled"? Because he was a bad friend here. He got too flustered, and tried too hard to play it cool, to the point that he downplayed their entire friendship. That's not cool, saying "I'd be ok if we grew apart" to a friend is as good as saying "our friendship is not that important to me" and that obviously hurts people, and honestly? Props to Senpai for not feeling hurt and still managing to say goodbye with a smile.

Wtf? How much clearer does she need to be?
Well, sure, she could have confessed herself, but still, how dense do you need to be to not at least have a suspicion that she might like you and wants you to confess?

Nah the guys saying her not confessing was at fault when he said that he wanted things to go back to the way they were before. She was clearly testing the waters and he was not showing good signs.

Exactly.
She wanted to make sure of where he stood while giving every indication she was interested.
Dude said "let's say friends" so of course she'd leave it at that.
