Wasn't this story dropped by Dynasty?
Regarding the chapter, it was a nice one, although the third wheel here doesn't feel necessary. Idk what extra purpose Fuuka can serve that the characters wouldn't realize on their own. I feel kinda sorry for her, she would never have a chance.
As a friend she was a nice addition to the cast, but the being in love part no.
The way I see it, we're at the point where Hinako helps Asahi get out of the "I will do everything for Subaru" mindset. The next step is for Asahi to start evaluating her life to see what she likes and wants. If this story were to progress perfectly to get the best chronological development for Asahi, the confession should've come a little later after Asahi starts exploring her own interests. But this obviously isn't a Shonen action/sports manga where enemies are always incrementally stronger as the season progresses. Hurt and hungover Fuuka confessed after she felt she was losing Asahi to Hinako for the nth time, and honestly good for her. This will probably drive Asahi to reevaluate the love aspect of her life first, which will be more dramatic than necessary and somehow hurt either Subaru or more likely Hinako.
At least that's my guess on what may happen. But regardless, this manga has been perfectly paced and heartwarming at the same time, a feat I've seen only a few mangas in this genre achieve - Kase-san, Early chapters of Nettaigyo wa Yuki ni Kogareru, the main pairing arc of Horimiya (First 70 chapters, I think), Wotakoi, and a few others.
Looking forward to the upcoming chapters. Whichever scanlation group this is, PLEASE DON'T DROP THIS!!!
