Well, "challenger"-guy Akio seems to be a decent young man. I don't think he's gonna stand in the way of Yuri route but maybe he'd become some additional misunderstanding and uselessness between two useless lesbians.
Side note, he looks good with Kurokawa (that delicious height difference). If this were het, I'd probably root for him. Childhood classmates/friends sometimes gotta win.
So Kuro its like that? those types of person that are obsessed in making couples on her head with other people, to the point of being creppy or getting mad if that certain couple brake up even though if that certian couple wasnt even a couple at all and stuff? thats trash.
For fuck's sake, man.... Also what's with Kuro? I don't quite get her mind set...
yeah, I have no clue. it's not like she still thinks that being gay is a problem. i guess she just really hates herself and thinks that nanaki "deserves someone better," or some dumb shit like that.
hopefully this boy will make nanaki jealous and clingy, prompting them to actually just fucking say how they feel for fucks sake...
Kurokawa is a hypocrite for saying to Iro-chan that it's weird and rude to ship people IRL not to mention she's even more of a hardcore shipper than anyone else.
Yeah this introducing a male character to move the plot is kinda dumb. Hoping he becomes like YagaKimi's Maki instead.
Given how quickly this series dealt with most other drama, this is what I'm expecting (and hoping for).
Honestly given the structure of the story and the scene, I think it's likely his entire purpose in the story is to trigger a misunderstanding by having Fujishiro see them talking and conclude that Kurokawa lied and went on a date with a boy.

Kurokawa isn't shipping the two. She wants what's best for Nanaki. Her insecure brain refuses to believe she's enough, so she pushes Nanaki to someone "worthy", someone who will take care of the princess in her place.
Oh jesus, here comes the boy who secretly loved the MC and will now try to hook up with her trope. Now we'll get several chapters of "misunderstandings" and frosty moments until all will be resolved, probably without a satisfying conclusion, only to delve into the next cliche trope to extend the drama a bit more. I really like this author, but this is getting pretty dumb at this point.
Just saying, I don't recall anyone ever complaining when a guy was introduced in Girl Friends ¯_(ツ)_/¯
To be fair, it doesn't seem that the complaint is necessarily that a guy is introduced. It's that he seems more like a plot device than an actual character. There are ways it could be interesting, but yuri manga is filled with terrible male characters that only exist to make the choice between them and the female love interest really easy. It's too early to tell if it would end up like that though, and I feel like the author deserves the confidence they can do something interesting with it based on past work.

This is what I’m thinking too—the insecure “I want what’s best for her” thing. But it still kinda feels like shipping at the end of the day. Especially with her staring. It seems less like a pining stare and more like an obsessive one.
