The characters’ romance don’t feel genuine. My main problem is the guy is the one trying to rekindled the relationship. The female character is just there not even doing anything in these chapters.
Sounds like she was being like his mom. Ofcourse there is nothing wrong with it. We only see kouhai get into awkward situations and blurt stuff out, I kinda wish Senpai also did it a little.
@slime_sleeper In my opinion from what we know so far, I don't think Doubayashi is completely at fault or an asshole. From the book and souvenir chapters Nao seems like she can be really demeaning.
I could easily see a situation in their relationship where he's overworking himself to the point of being seemingly uncaring in the relationship because he just wants her to acknowledge how hard he works.
But instead all she seems to do is criticize him and cut him down, so it starts this feedback loop of >Get Criticized>Work Harder>Repeat
