I like that the first tree chapters each were from a different character's perspective, I wonder where the next chapter will take it.
It's a nice read and all, but I do agree with the point of the story already having a pretty high bar to suspension of disbelief; with the three main girls I can buy it I suppose but Rin's two best friends on the other hand... that seemed pretty out of place. Not only have all the friends constantly talked about boys like the most natural thing in the world, but... how was there even anything indicative of Chiyono being into Rin? It seemed completely random. Shiho at least is somewhat justified in jealousy, although it doesn't have to be romantic at all. Being separated from your two best friends just sucks regardless.
Also... "you should just try dating him" does not seem like the healthiest of attitudes to have, but that's just a minor pet peeve
Does anyone think that the classmate of Akira is also in love with her? Like... "hey...I'm curious about that tree, let's check it out TOGETHER O_O" I mean, maybe not but I can't help but think she could play a bigger part later.
I honestly hope not, the series doesn't need more lesbians-for-the-sake-of-plot at this point
