First things first: Kanda Ami (because I had to look up her name!) is one of the best characters ever, I love her! Mashirocchi, Naginagi, you can't beat those nicknames! Plus, seems like she's getting the stray cat with her dumb charm haha. (And let's not forget that she made the ship before anyone else in Chapter 1!)
Secondly, this panel, it was made by the gods:

"A date is something... that two people in love go on, right?" That's not even a hint right there, that's to the point! The fruit is already ripe, come on! Someone needs to properly confess soon, we really need to see them going out for a while, and not just end when that happens, that'd be extremely sad.
Can I also mention how good the art is? I'ts excellent!!
