The 2nd story, I would've liked expanded. I have the feeling that those two are going to become a couple, especially since it seems glasses boy is ready to move on. The 3rd story doesn't have a serious plot, although it's a little twisted. In the end, the two became happy. There's not much to say anymore... But the 1st story... the 1st two chapters really made me upset with Kentarou. For one, "If a girl confesses, date them and sleep with them"? What if you don't like the girl? You think that it's such a waste because she's cute. Some people don't just look at that, you know? For one, some people have preferrences, or desire to know the person more before dating. Different people have different ways of approaching love, romance, and the like, and though your sentiments are well-intentioned, do realize that not everyone is like you, and not everyone would want to do what you expect them to do. That's another thing, he thinks he's just concerned and Kawada is not apprciating it. Listen to him first, and understand where he's coming from, before you decide to "help", otherwise you may do more damage than good. Lastly, the girl decided for herself and expected the best outcome. Not everything should go her way, just because she's cute or is doing her best. Don't go getting angry at a guy who rejected her, it's like getting mad at an apple that has seeds. It's as simple as, " I don't have interest in her". Is that really so hard to understand?
In the end, it was resolved because it turns out that Kawada likes Kentarou, and Kentarou ends up liking him, too. I kind of wanted to see Kentarou FULLY understanding and realizing how flawed his perception is, even before Kawada liked him, and I get this monopolizing, secret bit but I think it would have been better if the others grew to understand Kawada, too.
Side note to Kentarou: Girls like to be valued. They tend to feel insecure, and so if you go out with them recklessly, for the sole reason of, "they're cute", they can't help but get even more worried. In the case of going out with them even with no interest, overtime she'll be more unhappy than if she was rejected from the start, no matter how much she lies, and will drive herself in a corner of hoping and feeling hopeless.
I read this several years ago and only now thought of these things. I just thought that Kawada was unsociable and col back then, and was happy with the way things had progressed. Now, ok, so there's a happy ending, but I realize how unpleasant Kentarou is acting. He may good natured and caring, but he can be insensitive and narrow- minded. Hopefully as he grows older and stays more with Kawada, he will mellow out.
