I was doubtful after last chapter but I'm so glad that Taiki spoke his mind, didn't hold back and stayed true to his feelings. It feels like we are finally gonna move on from this after so fucking long. Or at least I hope so. But either way this was really well handled but it sure took a long route to get here. And my boi Haryu came in just at the right time.

Please Miura move on from this.

Taiki did not hold back one bit with the rejection, definitely went full force at her despite Hina wanting him to just wait it out till it all works out in her favor. Ultimately, Taiki if he is solely in love with Chinatsu had to be harsh and do what he did. It was contrived, but at least this way is better than just prolonging it further and further and having the relationships be more and more unhealthy and obsessive in the long run. Sucks for Hina since she was deeply in love with him, almost to the point of being obsessive in this scene, but she needed to respect Taiki's feelings too in the process. Now it's about moving on from this reality check, and hopefully this series can finally move on too to something else. This dragged out a lot, but at least it wasn't as much as series like Rent-a-Girlfriend and even A Couple of Cuckoos recently.

Taiki is determined and knows what he wants. He is realistic and understands that this whole situation isn't normal. He's not some lustful bitch.
Damn, I hate love triangles. It always ends with harsh casualties.
And btw... am I alone who think that Hina is just too forceful ? All this "It's Fine" and "It's Okay I Can Wait" is selfish 🀷🏻‍♂️

Taiki is right, it's always better to be direct and make things clear. Sorry for Hina, but Taiki needs to concentrate on Chinatsu... and badminton, of course. Finally Haryuu senpai indulges in a match!

Definitely thought hina was way too forceful to the point of it being pathetic. Like i get it she likes him but she needs to accept the fact that he doesn't like her.

LET'S GOOOO! I mean, ah yeah, shit, pretty sad for Hina, but Taiki was absolutely right, what Hina was doing is not healthy whatsoever.

This is why I love Taiki, he finally drew the line, it took a while, but it's understandable how he became undecisive.

Putting all that aside for now, I am hyped for Haryu vs the current Taiki, they've been teasing it.

Couldn't be described any better "pathetic"
You're right, she likes him obviously but all her feelings appeared once she knew Chinatsu's living at Taiki's house. It doesn't feel faithful, to me at the very least.

Hina really doesn't value herself. She should see that taiki likes someone else and try to move on from there. But no instead she just goes on to wait. I am so happy with how clear taiki was with the rejection.

I would say she was full on copium... she was fully aware that he likes Chinatsu so he will no like her back but was hoping that Chinatsu will reject him or he will not make a move eventually not leaving another choice than being with Hina.

Basically she accepted herself as his "B option".

Apparently, exactly you're right. I believe that's what Taiki meant when saying "it's not normal, it's not healthy, I don't wanna get you hurt"

While I agree specifically this chapter she was too forceful however I disagree that it doesn’t feel faithful as from what we’ve seen of outside of Taiki she’s rather pragmatic she thought she needed to hurry and play “catch up” so she ended up overdoing it that’s not, not being faithful that’s being reckless.

Huge Taiki W. It was so annoying watching glasses guy and Ayame gaslighting him into thinking he likes someone. He trusted his own conviction and feelings for Chinatsu. Huge W, and huge W to the author for actualy respecting the MC and not dragging this love triangle. I feel bad for her but it had to be done.

That's also a point of view... you're right but still, honestly I couldn't sympathize or compromise with her reasons from the very beginning.

These last two chapters show just how immature Taiki is and how ill-prepared he is to even be in a relationship. Taiki's words do not match his actions, and this is something that his friends have noticed. He says that he loves Chinatsu, but he hasn't taken any meaningful action in the story to progress his relationship with her. It's understandable that Hina thinks she has a chance because none of Taiki's actions indicate any strong feelings of love that can't be overturned by having another girl in close proximity long enough. What Taiki did to Hina is the rejection a man in a committed relationship gives to a girl trying to get him to cheat. This isn't the kind of rejection you give to a friend because you are smitten with a girl who you aren't making any real attempts to date. The rejection he gave is the kind that ends a friendship. Taiki needs a friend, or even better his dad, to set him straight.

You can feel bad for Hina, but in some way, she's trying to force him into a relationship. Even coming up with certain aspects which may play a factor (why he likes Chi). It's great that Taiki stayed true to his own feelings and told her the truth. Otherwise, it'll be a long and painful road for Hina. You can try to get someone to like you, but there's a limit to it for sure. Also, a game with Haryu!

I definitely don’t like Taiki and Chinatsu together, but I dislike more that they made this unnecessary love triangle dragging Hina in a situation where was clear that she didn’t stand a chance. I’m glad is over, but I feel so bad for her. I hope she finds someone who putts so much effort for her as she did with Taiki

Taiki is just way too cold and takes himself way too seriously. Like dude, this girl has been your friend for years and you're basically rejecting her like a complete stranger with absolutely no consideration for how you do it. Dude does this shit all the time. There's a line between standing up for yourself and having no tact at all in regards to interacting with other people. Hopefully they introduce a new character that's actually a decent person and not dull as dirt for Hina to get together with because Taiki and Chinatsu is one of the most boring things imaginable. I understand their romance, but damn if they aren't boring af human beings.

This is not an analysis for the chapter, but a message for Hina.

Hina, you mirror what many people have experienced: having a love and not being reciprocated. I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, hope that you find someone who makes you as happy as you deserve. Someone who can see your heart, the purity of your love, who can see you entirely, inside and out, and love every detail of who you are. Partly, I wish for this love for myself too. I want to feel it and have someone feel this for me. But life is tough, and reality is much more cruel. Thank you for existing within these pages and reminding me of this. I truly hope you find that love.
