this arc is kind of interesting bc the culprit isnt really obvious at first glance to me,, ihara just straight up doing everything the rumors said he did wouldnt be really intersting, but saotome actually being the one to start the rumors wouldnt fit with the ch 16 end dialogue either,, i like that you cant tell if ihara is actually just a major creep, saotome is a twofaced liar, or if a third party(football club?) orchestrated everything (or maybe all 3?)

same im also at some sort of confusion, football club could have orchestrated - iharas words could be taken the wrong way or this could be an arc where everyones in some sort of wrong. it obviously took a bad mental toll on ihara whatever happened - unless it tricks us into complicating things. I think Shirayuki might confess his feelings at the cliff or someone might die/fall off it
personally i dont fw open relationships but ik some friends that have them and the top makes open ppl look so awful omg the part where woojin asked ”well what if they confessed to u and i said i dont want you together” and KSH was like ”well uhh id just see what i feel like doing idk” pissed me off baddddd
otherwise i think this manhwa is so cutee i like both of their developments and how you can really feel them mature as ppl as the story goes forward ^^ and the side characters r soooo cute i wanna see them get tgt
