I’m having a horrible premonition of Tsukushi jumping away in surprise and then Hinoka thinking she misread the situation and then having ten chapters of drama to resolve the misunderstanding.Is there any possible way this can lead to some sort of convoluted misunderstanding? I want to hope not, but I've been burned before...
ah yes, those darn Canadians and their polite mouth kisses...Maybe she's from Canada and is just being polite. Your best bet is to keep your wits about you and continue to look for signs.
