Well, this Tina girl sure is 'direct'. Otherwise, she does give some good advice I guess. Just hope that he doesn't get friend zoned soon.

Based on what's happened so far in this manga, she'll probably misunderstand and Yuuto has to explain himself (probably poorly). It'll probably help their relationship and Tina will start to develop her own feelings.

Gotta to love those Kazuki and Sayaka moments XD

I like Tina! It's nice to see someone be so direct and forward about things in manga. Indecisive and pure MCs don't sit well with me at all. Ever since Yuuto cut his hair he's been especially pathetic....

Exactly my thoughts. Even if Tina doesn't develop feelings, the purpose of this arc is to get Kotone jealous and aware of her own feelings.

I honestly prefer the Kazuki x Sayaka dynamic much more at the moment. I did miss seeing Sayaka getting pissed because of Yuuto; glad we get to see her strong side again.

I'm with you guys about Kazuki and Sayaka. Their part of the story was very well plotted, perfectly paced maybe. I'd change nothing in it. That's probably the main motive I'm enduring reading this manga, because watching poor Sakuraba-kun being victm of his own helplessness is not pleasant at all. For the less patient ones, it may be disgusting and generates hate towards the character, maybe even make these readers drop the story away, and for the most hopeful and patient readers it still has bad effects, mainly lack of interest in the main characters and kinda despair and disappointment, I think.
I see myself as a kinda patient and hopeful reader at the moment, and I expect the best possible outcome from this chapter's end, even knowing it's not going to be like that. I read all chapters until 43 today and for the pacing the story has been plotted until now, it'll most likely take some time for their relationship (Sakuraba and Kashiwagi) to truly improve. Japanese are very slow with these things, even in real life, then I'd not be surprised if they only start to date at chapter 80 or so (I had the patience to wait things develop in Pastel, almost 100 chapters until Mugi, the protagonist, got his first kiss with the girl, and it took very long already just so he could get the courage to confess, talk about a hopeless and confidence-lacking fellow).
I loved the moment Sayaka "protected her territory" there when they were introduced to Tina, simply refreshing for me since I disliked Sayaka in the beginning. It earned her some more respect, and I hope to see more of her from now on too.
About what's going to happen in the near future, I fear Darkhawk220 is right, although, as I said, I hope it doesn't go that way XD

Exactly I wish more romantic stories were like Kazuki and Sayaka and more MC's like Kazuki but that would end the manga like in a couple of chapters xDD.

Tina was so direct but how is this potential triangle going to turn out.

Seems like Kotone is aware of the two's closeness so I wonder how she reacts to all of this change.

Looking foward to next chapter!!!

A series doesn't need to end just because the main couple is already together, at least that's what I think, because in Japan's culture, even when a relationship starts, there are evolutions to be achieved. Couples there may end up waiting almost a year or even more to kiss, and months to hold hands, that kind of stuff. They're not good at all with affection demonstration. XD

Tina's trying to play cupid for Yuuto, huh. I'm not going to be surprised if she ends up causing Kotone to feel a little jealous even if Tina herself doesn't become an actual love rival.

On the other hand, it was nice seeing Tina put everyone's favorite main couple Kazuki x Sayaka under the spotlight. Loved Kazuki and Sayaka's rabu-rabu answers to her overly direct questions.

Miracles and magic do exist. I have no regrets.

Where the heck are you people getting these *facts* from? In Japan its wierd if you still have your virginity by age 16 so if anything its the complete opposite unless your completely sheltered.

I dont blame Yuuto for lack of development. I blame Kashiwagi... Tina should take him if she doesn't make up her mind soon.

Well... I heard it in a video of a girl that lives there for quite some time, that relationship develompent is quite slow for japanese people because they're kinda ashamed of certain actions that demonstrate affection between lovers in public, or even when they're in privacy and not officially together for a long time.
