But even for a comedic manga is starting to feel somewhat stagnant. The punchlines are always "Shinozaki has meltdowns over Kaede" and "Shinozaki can't accept her otakuness"
Yes and no, I just reread the whole thing, There's some progress here and there. Sure, Akina still deny her love of Kaede, but she's a bit more accepting on otaku things compared to the beginning.
As for repeatiness, I don't mind it, it's cute and funny, still enjoy reading it. and as it was mentioned, if those key points are resolved, that's pretty much the end of the manga.
though I do hope we'll have a proper yuri ending for this manga at some point. After all that teasing, if it ends with "nope, they're just BFF", will end up mighty annoyed. ><
