I'm really glad more and more people get to the realization, that not only Hakamada is hugely annoying, but that Yuki seriously needs to step up her game. If Naruse would only shake hands with another woman she would create a three-chapter-long drama out of it, but she constantly getting hugged by guys seems to not bother her at all. Even the "Yuki doesn't see them as possible love-interestes"-point is obsolte since Hakamada told her and kissed her.
Naruse once offered her to delete every female contact in his phone (meaning he would leave every female friend he has and had), how can it be so hard for her to seperate herself from ONE guy? Who isn't even that important to her? Urgh...

Okay...that was stupid. And while I'm (for personal reasons/experiences) biased in this case, I'm totally on Natsuos side here. Huge drop in popularity for Rui, atleast in my opinion.
*SPOILER*
You just don't do that. And her reasons for breaking up is tremendously stupid. While I still hope and wish this to be the final pairing, this is a new maximum of unnecessary drama. Honestly, while I do enjoy the manga, I'm considering to stop reading it.

I really hope she won't stop Naruse. Not entirely because I don't like Hakamada, but because a big problem of anime and manga is, that actions don't seem to have consequences. You can meddle with people as much as you want, in the end you will always be forgiven. That is just unrealistic and kind of frustrating.
Don't let him ever near her, maybe even kick him "out of the story", if that makes sense. That would be a realistisch reaction to such a stupid action.

If this manga would spend more time developing the main-couple and less time having unpleasant characters sabotaging someone else, this could actually be really good...

Good assessment! This manga (and many others these days) seems to be taking an "American" style approach to story telling. US based tv series have this habit of starting with a good premise, good cast, etc. The show gets popular and writers proceed to wring the shit out of it for about 3 seasons too long. Then it fades into cancellation with no one remembering it was once a respectable piece of work.
Aaaand skipped the chapter. I really don't care for Ruis standalone-storyline.
