They’ve been the same for years and it’s getting really annoying. There’s zero development between them. Uka is getting on my nerves, too . Especially with the last few chapters with Momo. I think the author is trying too hard to make every single character they introduce “likable.”
At this point, I’m only reading to figure out when or how this ends.
I completely agree with you, although I love this manga very much, it has been a tiring read.
I did enjoy reading her change and flourish, but I feel like it’s at a standstill, now.
For a long time I was annoyed with some shoujo manga because some authors sidelined the secondary characters in a way that made them seem like they were just there to fill space, but I think in this manga I can't stand it anymore. Other characters enter the story and get development time they don't even deserve sometimes, while our couple seems stuck in the same place... the relationship doesn't progress.
