[...] I was just stating my view and if you feel offended, then I'll say the same thing you said, that's your problem.
Apologies if my text sounded aggressive, it wasn't supposed to. Actually, I was trying to explain why people may like it (why it's popular) despite the fact that you, and others, think it's not good. My disgust about the "objectively" good type of argument is that most of the time people use it to state their opinion as facts(1), to make their critics indisputable and, most of the time, to shit on a story they don't like for free.
The second paragraph isn't directed at you (at all) but was to address the "it's already been done 12986 billions of times everywhere else" critic that is used for basically almost every piece of work out there (not only Citrus). Ironically, I could have sounded a bit annoyed right there.
(1)Specifically, why is this chapter's writing objectively bad? The main complain I've seen is that it comes from nowhere but I can, and I did, write that this isn't the case. The context of Mei's family and country perfectly justifies the (strong) possibility of Mei getting engaged once again to a man if she chose to pursue her objective : becoming the new director of the school. We understand what is going on, we know the stakes and it holds within the context of the story : how can it be bad writing "objectively"?
I was going to talk more about objectivity, but it already has been done in here and didn't lead anywhere.
I think it's hilarious. They're probably that obvious to everyone but nobody paid any mind because it's very unlikely.
EDIT: From the looks of it, Harumin probably didn't hear it. She is more concerned about Matsuri rather than her outburst.
I was wondering if all their closest friends knew already but were like "let's pretend we didn't see anything so they can be happy". Shirapon figured it out last volume and apparently Eyebrow-san knows about it judging by her lack of reaction and Shirapon's explanation about her worries.
For Harumin.. There is the possibility she didn't really get the outburst. Though, she probably knows Yuzu the best, she knows Yuzu as a lover, I think Yuzu has basically confessed during vol5 that she met her lover in the school and she probably figured it out during the trip. I don't know if she is protecting Matsuri or Yuzu or both by taking Matsuri away. I wonder what they said afterwards, probably nothing.
But seriously, if it's just the plain "I love you" then why go through the effort of having it interrupted? What's the point? And of course, since this is a manga, they don't talk to each other for the rest of the night or continue it the next day. Because that's how conversations work. /s
She said "Me too" as well, I didn't remember it, but that's pretty definite. Translator-san, I need you, where, word for word, is Mei interrupted in Japanese?
As to why it was interrupted, coincidence? Dramatic effect? Lazy writing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)? Mei already has acknowledged her feelings for Yuzu in vol4, this is just teasing I guess, I don't think it's that big of a deal story wise, it is just for Yuzu. Also, they could talk about something else, something less embarrassing. One of the issue they had since the beginning of the story is that Mei is bad at communicating. Not everybody has the strength to sit around a table a discuss calmly of every issue they have every days, though.
