i feel like weve gained a deeper understanding of why he likes eri. before it seemed super surface level, without this chap i would've questioned how deep his feelings actually go tbh. Plus we see that eri has always prioritized fuyuki so much so that she befriends and watches over him just for fuyukis sake. Which makes me wonder how deep her feelings actually go too. just my interpretation thoo
Honestly to me this chapter just tells me that dude is so oblivious to others feelings and his love is surface level cause why is the moment you fell for Eri is on the same day she tells you that “the only reason she even talked to and befriended you is cause of fuyuki” like what? And like he never took a minute throughout his whole life and wonder why the heck does Eri prioritize fuyuki so, so much more than him to the point where not only does he have to wait till fuyuki to not be around, he has to beg fuyuki not to come just for alone “time” like this isn’t normal for a partner to have to go through just to send time alone with his gf, lol.
the day he walks in on eri and fuyuki kissing and pretends to be surprised is gna be the day LMAO. i feel like he knows based on how he didnt walk in on fuyuki watching eri in the last panel but refuses to actually acknowledge it/say anything abt it
cap 12 was so boring useless exposition
