A bit rush compared to the light novel, perhaps.
In the LN there are a few more events happened between the handcuffs part and the make up part: spoilers the trio (Wakaba, Matsuri, Minori) hold a small contest to choose the birthday present for Komaki (and she of course refused it); Komaki secretly hang out with Wakaba during the school festival; Komaki hang out with the ship captain Matsuri and got enlightened with her love advices (respect captain Matsuri, she really know how to cook this couple)
Do you know if the book version is different from the web version? I've read the LN on the kakuyomu website a while ago but I don't remember it having any handcuffs part at all (unless my memory is failing me). Might consider getting the book ver if the two are fairly different from each other
and we're getting the Komaki & Matsuri hangout on the next chapter of the manga so yay to that
Yes, the book version, or the light novel, is different from the web novel, it has more dramas than the web version which increased the tension between Komaki and Wakaba, so their make up part will be more meaningful. Meanwhile...
in the web novel: fireworks festival, komaki got her pencil broken => wakaba buy her a new one as a birthday gift, then the make up part => christmas love confession, boom, end. Simpler and shorter
