kinda expected all along it had been mutual with the schoolfriend, but the ace(?) angle is an interesting twist. also tomioka-kun is a bro

Wait. What. Now i kind of rooting for Chiharu

I thought she choice Minato because she is tomboyish and could pass from a boy buy oppenly admit as girlfriend

I was so for team Sensei but idk they pissed me off with how she essentially led Mei on and when she finall reciprocates she goes “sorry no nothing can happen for four years MAYBE if we’re also still single by then” like that’s essentially a white flag and immediately killed that ships momentum dead. Felt like I just wasted my time getting invested. I feel like every relationship is gonna end up like this now I kinda don’t wanna get to invested in any of them.

I mean, it's a harem. The manga is over if she dates Maria Sensei or anyone lol. I'm glad we had our little slice of heaven for a bit~

Chiharu unexpectedly cute?! I am interested in seeing more of them together.

Same. I felt silly as soon as Minato introduced herself as Mei's girlfriend. This manga wouldn't go hiding the gays like that.

Old flame might actually have a chance, she looks a lot like a combination of all our five current competitors... Wouldn't want to see Riri lose, though...

I like her old flame's 80s half-shirt. They'd make a loverly couple.

Idk to me it read more like Chiharu let an opportunity to get with Mei pass cause she was scared of commitment or changing their relationship or such, and now she feels like she isn't worthy of being with Mei because she chickened out when it mattered. She loves Mei so much she thinks she deserves better than the coward Chiharu sees herself as.

But I'm not ace so maybe i just didn't get it idk.

Hey that makes a lot of sense!!! I'll bet on this theory from now on
