Oh, my God! I feel exactly the same about everything you brought up. Thank you for saying it. I thought the author did too much telling and not enough showing. And the worst part about all the dialog, for me is that the conversations just kept going round and round to nowhere. I really hated it. These characters were inside their heads way too much.
I gotta say, the ending was rather disappointing and felt rushed. Kai in ch 53 establishing he wanted to just stay friends and then a fast forward YEARS later to them being married just felt like a huge cop-out. I'd like to have seen SOMEthing that would have suggested he liked Touma or at least a bit of progression from being in the friend zone to becoming romantic. Also, how we just never saw Masumii handle/deal with her feelings rubbed me the wrong way. Not only was the mlm couple not addressed, the wlw just...disappeared. I'm not mad or anything that Masumi turned out to be bi since she gave me that impression from the beginning but it was kind of like whiplash seeing her married with a husband in the fast forward when a chapter ago she was in distress about her feelings for Kuze. Anyways, it kind of just felt like a waste to read, especially considering I had high hopes for it. It wasn't bad but the ending really negatively affected my reading experience.
