This was a cute chapter and it was fun to see Hinata get some focus. She's such a cheery and straightforward girl who is easy to like. Although, it does feel like this was a bit of a one-off chapter that won't be all that significant in the long run. But I don't think that's really necessarily a bad thing.
Where did the title "A love yet to bloom" come from? In addition to the Japanese title the volume also lists the English title "Bluer than love" which is a direct translation of the Japanese. "A love yet to bloom" doesn't seem like it's intended to be a translation of the Japanese title at all. And this hasn't been officially localized, so it's not as if it was a localization team's decision. So all of the usual reasons for a title change I can think of seem to be out. Did whoever translated this just invent a title or am I missing something?
It's very hard not to run out of patience with Yuzu. I can understand being dense and not realizing someone likes you, but, girl, Minami was literally centimeters away from kissing you on the mouth on several occasions.
I kinda feel like their friends should just intervene at this point. I'd love to see a story where the whole "they need to figure it out on their own :)" trope is totally discredited.
I wonder to what extent Sakura realizes how hugely important she was to facilitate Takamine's growth. And if she knew, would she feel closer to Takamine, or feel even more 'left behind' so to speak?
I like the bittersweet vibes we've been getting throughout the story, but I really hope the ending - whenever we get it - isn't bittersweet. I'm too attached to these characters. I need a happy ending.
I can't be too mad at these two. They literally both kissed each other, so it's not like they're not making any progress. They'll get there eventually.
I don't mind a little angst being introduced but I do hope this ultimately leans more towards healing and fluff rather than going too far in the drama direction.
Everything being magically resolved in the last page does sort of leave a bad taste in my mouth. It seems kind of pointless to build up the tension of "oh no, I fell in love with my niece, what should I do, how does she feel about me, is there something wrong with me, is our relationship going to survive or fail and it'll be my fault" and then just completely resolve it into nothingness.
