“Are you… interested in being my friend?!”

“N- wait, huh??”

“There’s no other logical explanation for why you’d give me such excellent advice unless you wanted to be my friend!”

Is prolly how it’s gonna go. But I’m open to being proven wrong

I love this take and really hope it's how it's actually gonna go

The best part? It'd be entirely in character. How many impossible misunderstanding jokes have you seen in manga before that actually make sense?

Girl really up and went splat on the ground haha :D

Y'know I was thinking this from the start, but this chapter absolutely reinforced that the title should have a subtitle.

"Confessions for a Moron - by a Moron"

I didn't catch on the "rival" vibes y'all were getting from the friend in ch 2.1, but now I can see them

There's that misunderstanding/gaslighting overcome. And she realizes exactly what we already thought before.
