akari grows as a character to be really kind and caring to jirou. They have many wholesome and ecchi moments that give you sugar overloads. Akari tends to take the initiative more with jirou but shiori does as well. Shiori at first doesn't do much but later in the manga i forgot but i think she realizes that she might be losing jirou and decides to start pushing more but while she succeds in initiating intimacy with him she overwhelmingly fails at actually conveying her feelings. He always thinks that she just did it to do it or that she messed up and didn't actually mean it. And the biggest fact as to why i don't fully support her is that she FRIENDZONED HIM. He got friendzoned by her so it is her fault in the first place that this is happening.
Don't go telling me "oh she didn't mean it like that". How else is our boy supposed to take it. If the girl i liked said lets still be friends or stay friends (forgot what she said exactly) then i would almost automaticly think she was friendzoneing me. Like how else are we supposed to take that. Like if she said are you still willing to be friends or do you want to go into the next year as friends, well something along those lines then i would think i still have a chance but her basically declearing that she wants to stay friends to me is a friendzone. Well i would also need to her the tone but from this one i feel that it was a decleration. Sorry about the rant.
