Nice avatar.
Thanks.^^ Yours too. inserts thumbs up emoji
I really liked how their friendship developed. It was nice to see her feelings got reciprocated.
Me too. What chapter are you on, by the way?
And back on topic because the newest chapter just came out within the last hour...
Chapter 9 raw spoiler:
Ahh, Akira has been vehemently denying her feelings for Pure since she kissed her back in chapter 7, but they're slowly coming to light. Meanwhile, Pure has been extra cautious since chapter 7 (her telling Akira that they should remain "just friends" with a pained expression on her face is what caused Akira to kiss her in the first place). When their hands brush each other's, Pure immediately pulls her hand away out of consideration for Akira, who takes note of this.
They end up going to a cave together, where Pure clumsily trips and they're kind of close to each other, reminding Akira of their kiss before. Pure pulls away, but ends up asking Akira this: "If I said I wanted you to kiss me right now, would you do it?", but follows up and passes it off as a joke. Akira responds seriously anyway and says if Pure wants to kiss, then it's fine with her.
Finally, Akira's inner monologue reveals that she would've been okay with holding hands or kissing Pure, as long as she stays by her side. Throughout the chapter, she insists that what she's feeling is not love. Her past is also brought up about how she became lonelier since her family essentially split apart at the end of her middle school days, hence why Akira is so on the edge about losing Pure.
Pure then tells Akira that she's a very nice girl, and that she thinks the reason why Akira kissed her to begin with was out of consideration for Pure's feelings. This turns out to be the final blow for Akira, who tells her that she's wrong... aaand cue cliffhanger!
