I will not argue that this story was well planned out or well executed or anything, but I was more upset in earlier chapters when things were just straight up boring :P They should have skipped 90% of the parts before revealing Yuzu's point of view, there would be more time with tormenting the readers with this kind of stuff which I still think is funny (if kinda clumsily executed), I think this was the biggest salty wall of text I've seen so far on these forums lmao

... I will say, I don't understand why people have this concept of someone not deserving to be in a relationship just because they didn't follow the correct song and dance in order to reach it :P There is absolutely zero indication that Minami gives a shit about Kamiya romantically, there is plenty of evidence she still feels that way about Yuzu.

I’m sorry, but that was the cheesiest, most obvious romantic set up that Yuzu pushing Minami away, thinking they’ll never be tighter romantically, is sooooo frustrating. You don’t lean in to kiss your friend on the lips, ever— and Minami was clearly aiming for her lips— unless you like them in a romantic way.

Because Yuzu PUSHED Minami away when she was trying to kiss her. That’s blatant rejection. It’s not that Yuzu isn’t following the right steps— she’s actively pushing herself away from Minami, actively trying to remain friends, and actively against the idea of them dating. Yuzu 100% isn’t ready for a relationship.

There is absolutely zero indication that Minami gives a shit about Kamiya romantically, there is plenty of evidence she still feels that way about Yuzu.

In the same way Minami hasn’t shown romantic interest in Kamiya, you could also say that Yuzu hasn’t shown any evidence of wanting to be in a relationship with Minami. She’d rather be friends to the point she refuses to accept the possibility of Minami liking her back.

If Yuzu is proactively shutting down the idea of them getting together in a situation where she literally had to do NOTHING in order for Minami’s intentions to be made clear, I don’t see how Minami saying “I love you romantically, please be my girlfriend” is going to be taken at face value.

Unless the confession chapter is basically Minami asserting that her feelings are in fact, romantic in nature until Yuzu understands that—
which, in Minami’s POV, Yuzu’s constant avoiding reality could easily be taken as indirect rejection; Yuzu wanting to remain friends and trying to casually turn Minami down to give her the opportunity to run away or backtrack (which is literally what is happening)
—I don’t see how they’ll get together. Yuzu is just too stubborn.

Or you could have wait. It's not like the team is inactive or slow.

And I never said that they were.

Idk what’s wrong with wanting to check, maybe spoiling it isn’t cool (I’ve seen other comments spoiling the next chapters before) but I’d rather have clearer expectations, get my grievances over with as soon as possible, so I’m not upset when all the worse tropes in existence are used.

Like, I know I’m more invested than I should be, I know I care more than I should. If I get it out now, I won’t have a lot to say later.

I get that but people don't generally like spoilers posted in that way, although as you said it's not consistent. If you want to get out your thoughts as they come, you could post your comment as a word document or a note on your phone and copy/paste it here once the translation for that chapter shows up. That way you get your thoughts in order, clear your head and have less disgruntled comments coming your way.

That’s smart. I’ll do that for the final chapter.

I wonder how the Japanese reviewed this manga, maybe they eat this shit up

If they were eating it up I don't think it would have been axed after chapter 28. Granted a lot of authors get much less than that to work with, but it doesn't feel like that was the length this series was supposed to be.

Now that the heat has died down I just want to say Hinori and Tsubasa jumping straight towards Minami to hold her because they thought Minami was going to give up everything is pretty sweet. And Hinori's angry kabedon in her attemp to persuade Minami lmao

...That was actually a pretty smooth rejection.
