sorry fellas, but kiriyama was thinking more about Akari's happiness than yall's (xd oopsies, im sure he loves u guys too, just not as much as akari)
still, rei-chan crushing so hard, it's actually cute
really love to see it

Ahaha they knew all along.

Also I still feel kinda weird about Hina being the love interest, she just seems so much younger and less mature than Kiriyama, I dunno

Thanks for the translation.

Feel like the author dropped the ball on the Rei and Hina romance. He's so much more mature than her and it doesn't help that her character design emphasises her child like nature. Would have made for a more interesting storyline if Hina just remained as someone Rei thought of as family.

@Kam14 Feel the exact same. Was pretty put off by their romance initially and tried to support it, but the reasons you've stated made it awkward for me.

And can't say I like Rei playing matchmaker either. Though I understand the author trying to dedicate Akari her own room for growth and introspection, this just feels forced and awkward, as well. Admittedly, some of my discomfort comes from how Shimada and Sensei look like they're in their late 30s, early 40s to me (Though I believe they're both actually in their mid 30s?).
