Meanwhile, the true winner is Kaoru-kun, since his wife to be is some total bombshell dynamite babe he met at the beach.
Very unlike his gorilla-esque childhood friend.
the "I'm not really vibing with these zoomers" line killed me. Hook, line and sinker.
At first I wasn't sold on Shiropapa, found him quite annoying when he was introduced. But man, Aka really knows how to build a great straight man character.
IIrc Umi asked Chizuru before what she thinks about Kazuya, and that was her answer.
If you put 1 and 1 together, Kazuya unknowingly obtained the knowledge that some likes someone, although in his case it would be any random girl liking Umi.
In reality it's Chizuru that doesn't not like...
I'll be super disappointed if the MC doesn't bang at least 5 of the characters introduced so far. Which obv. includes Ryuji.
I also have a hunch it's going to be something along the lines of feelings, relationships, bonds as the main theme / interest for our MC. The series started out with him...
Imagine the demon lord would come visit at this rate...
Just to get the Marika stare-down and cower in fear :S
Man, I don't know what humanity is worried about with random farm girls being able to intimidate their four heavenly kings with the help of a cork.
