High school or middle school Japan competition motto "To the nationals" always hits hard when they bawl because it's after all they can do.

Nice.

I had my fill on Taiki's romance. Rn, I'm more interested in Megane-sir.

I can relate to this.
To be honest, this is my second time reading this. I came across this last year during a major setback in my life. I can't deny this manga work gave me enough hope to get back on my feet.

I'm actually invested in this story.

I have finished Hibi previously. This is a fun cross-over.

Realistically speaking, love begins with a crush. I find Yuyuka's affection for Mamura earlier is similar to Mamura's here, but his gets to grow.
So, don't reject someone by claiming what she's or he's having is just infatuation, not love. It's true, but untrue too. Can't return your feelings is the best, being honest.

Bro is right here; you can't force a person to love you in return. After all the best you can do, let her sort things out.
It takes huge courage to pull off this move.Futaba's first boyfriend did, and he lost; however, it's incomplete for him even though he's with Futaba.
The most saddening Shojo manga I have read is probably Orange.The guy who married the female lead denied that the entire married life wasn't the best outcome; that's beyond imaginable. Married means the deal is sealed; you're the one left in charge of making her happy.

Admiration.

One thing Mamura has to be emulated by is "Self-worth."

what a smooth criminal, that guy who likes Yuyuka.

Case study here: why Futaba left her boyfriend and returned to the everlasting late Kou, andSuzume who mostly likely end up with Mamura.

I'm glad he's kind of late, like Akemi here stated.

Bro! I thought you had decided to stay ethical.

Reading manga means we're exposed to monologues we couldn't notice in real life.
TalktotheHand is right to some extent. And Suzume is transparent on that fully—to be honest, teenagers at that age couldn't comprehend what love actually entails.
Suzume couldn't deny the fact that she's growing interested in Mamura. Her point is that she wonders if that could be called a love interest. Then dating and learning what you're looking for in a partner would be the best. But maturity is an important indicator; what you want at that age and what you're looking for when you're an adult could be a different set.
As for us adults, we been through life and I think most agree that we should pick the picture below.
Love, in my opinion, is characterised by constancy, enduring comfort, and bringing out the best in you.

Nice coloured version.

Way to go, brother; confessing properly is the way. The choice of place is good; the atmosphere is tense, but you can't bottle up anymore. All good, brother. Based on her circumstances, allow her to promptly take the necessary time.
Confessing is good. It's kind of like apologising because it may be hard, but the post-effect is always positive. She will always remember you as one of the good guys who took an interest in her.
