Its been a long while since i last read, but when was Hinako and Fuuka a thing?
ya I am really confused by Hinako saying she loves Fuuka i really don't remember anything like that being in the story.
Love come in diferents way/form
The "love" she felt for fuuka is not a romantic one, more like a friendship/family one to me
Even with that, it's still bizarre. They've met exactly twice before this. Hinako is a person who hates using the word "love", and yet she thinks "I love them both" here.
Maybe it is reflective of her newfound ability to use love-related terminology more, but even that is strange. Maybe we'll get more about her weird use of terms in future chapters, idk. (Or I wonder if the official translation will differ here.)
Anyway, at the beginning of the series it seems like Hinako is aromantic and asexual. Now, it seems like Hinako may be romantically into Asahi while Asahi is romantically and sexually into Hinako. But it still isn't completely clear; Hinako might be sexually into Asahi too. I suspect the last few chapters will clarify that.
