Does Naotatsu have any friends beside Kaede? I think he mentioned having friends back at home, but the only people he seems to interact with are the other residents of the house. He's doing it to shoulder the burden, but I expect Sakaki to feel guilty that Nao intends to close his heart on her...
"Now there's no secret just between the two of us." That was adorable and disheartening. Author might have other plans in mind, but I'm all for Nao and Kaede
@hyperactivehedgehog she probably remembered the thing Nigemichi-sensei said about bullying Naotatsu and figured it was probably fine to do it to his Dad
Appriciate you folks at Death Toll for still translating this, so soon after the chapter came out too. But does the author not have a set schedule for this series?
Oblivious or not, it's a betrayal of friendship. If your friend is actively sabotaging your love life while only looking out for their own interests, they aren't your friend. Gyaru-chan is not half pint's friend. When Moko eventually gets a boyfriend, I trust Junko will act in bad faith.
