Alright, after having used the fact that my mom was watching "Only Fools and Horses" to my advantage to stop my incoherent mumbling and humming noises, I can now comment more seriously.
This chapter has a lot to unpack. One could worry that Izumi is being kinda manipulative, and, as of yet, we don't know enough to simply discount the possibility, but, for now at least, I think that's not the case. Giving her the benefit of the doubt, I believe she's in denial about her own feelings for Fujishiro, and may be as honest as can be in that state of denial. Also, I hate it when Fujishiro says of herself and Kurokawa "We're completely incompatible.", for several reasons, but mainly because it reminded me of some of Loralei's comments in this thread. Girl, like, despite your many differing interests, you still managed to find SOME common ground, and that's not even mentioning the two of you developing feelings for each-other without even realizing it... yet. Don't listen to Loralei, most of us are cheering for you! Why am I sticking it to Loralei so much in the comment?! This is starting to make no sense! I hope Kurokawa and Iro return to them soon, maybe that would be a step into the clearing up direction.
