I dont think theres gonna be a 2nd ml. Also someone said "girls and boys cant be friends" and i don't agree coz if a man says that, it would sound really sexist imo. I think it's a problematic mindset as well. You can definitely have friends of the opposite gender and play games with them.The problem is Akane has already shown that she's anxious about this so Yamada should be more mindful by informing.
But yamada is clueless a lot of times. and it's always been used as a plot device so idk i think the author has pissed off readers coz they've been overusing it now. but i think it's also to highlight akane's anxious attachment style (which also is a big problem but at least she recognizes that. persistent jealousy can choke your partner and she knows this)
idk how they'll resolve it but they better update soon. tbh i think it'll be a short arc. Coz for most other characters who liked yamada or akane, it was resolved real quick. Honestly its normal for Yamada to make the mistakes coz just chapters ago he was a minor with his first crush c'mon. He literally almost dropped a friend coz she was jealous. He's already proven himself loyal.
