as difficult as it is, things are actually going pretty well. hopefully, with this, Yuu will finally start to develop some independence and give Asanagi a chance to be herself.

Pat her head boy... 

Give her the hug

Being a pre-teen is hard. Emotions we don't truly understand going rampant.

I feel really bad for Asanagi, girl probably feels disgusted at herself for saying that to her best friend. Sadly, bottling up your feelings will only hurt those precious to you once you crack.
It's not Asami's fault, but I hope she will be more aware from now on about her effects on others. I also hope her friendship with Asanagi hasn't been damaged too much.
As for Maehara, so far he doesn't seem dense or too timid, so I hope he can navigate this situation properly.

If her concern is that he will be taken away from her I don’t think she has to worry about that. 
The dude seems to mostly be indifferent But likes Asanagi Maybe more than a friend? Idk 

An update! Nice..but lets hope it evolves into feelings for at least two people...

a tough situation but how they’re handling it is pretty mature
just hearing each other out and trying to do the best for yourself and others
W characters
and I find it cute how she thinks of him as “her” friend that she doesn’t wanna get stolen
she needs to add the boy 😏

There was never really a true problem in this manga.... Wait till the blonde reveals she's going through poverty or something to milk the story more

I mean, if I was close friends to a girl like her and she was crying, I would hug her until she was done her tears.

I'd like to hug her from behind and say "i love you, please let me be yours"  by then he won't taken by anyone 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The sad hurts.

ah life , it's pain

Damn things got intense. 

Weak and pathetic tbh, girls are way too emotional,
