"Don't give me that sass"
No, by all means, continue the sass output Kimura! It seems to have a positive effect on Hiyama's nerves. Quipping back creates a more casual atmosphere and goes along well with Hiyama's bursts of rival catchphrases.
It pains me that the manga will end so soon, as this dynamic is what truly elevates the story ultimately. Kimura's self-actualization forged by her understanding of who she truly loves has been a delight to witness. And though the manga plays with misunderstanding based drama in the most excessive ways, it somehow does it in such a way that it feels more like a homage to the stories it parodies, while keeping the cuteness alive and well.
My love for reversals is also being catered to, so I may well be biased.
