This is fucking sad to me....while he hoped she felt romantic love towards him like he does for her. She's doing some sort of convincing herself hoping...type of love towards him. Simply for the fact that she doesn't want to lose a person who is precious to her or make things forever awkward. If she's not the girl he ends up with then I'm preparing my heart for him to end up with someone else. I'd hate to be in his position.
I know they just upload manga on this site "dumbass", but I don't have any intention on wasting time finding out who translated this or where was this first uploaded, so I just commented here.
