Woah! What a whole lot of nothing!
Are we trying a new setting between subtext and nothing?
I agree. It doesn't illustrate really illustrate how MC fallen in love with Arata-san. It's so subtle that, I'm in even sure if MC is in love with Arata-san.
After reading the entire chapter, I only have an vague idea about MC's personality, and know close to nothing about Arata-san.
I guess I'm on a different channel.
