Yeah, hard to see how it's not just the same joke OR maybe it becomes stupid convoluted misunderstandings. I mean, Mashiro can't ever discover that Kokosaki can actually read minds, right? Or the whole thing falls apart.
I believe that having a story with a mute girl protagonist/deuteragonist in itself has a lot of potential. A story with a mindreading girl has a lot of potential too. Mixing them should thus multiply the two, but it somehow doesn't feel that way.
Probably because of the way these chapters were handled, it feels incredibly intimate and limited to these two girls, which is a death sentence for long running formats. To make a full fledged series, more side-characters will have to be introduced and the special attributes of both girls will have to be challenged in more exciting/imaginative situations.
It's not impossible at all, but right now a cute little friendship to romantic build up seemed to be as far as the series wanted to go.
