vol 4 spoilers below

have you read chapter 16? i just skimmed it cos i was tired of translating it so i was a bit left out of the context and left confused seeing the last panel did makoto and hokuto had a fight after the pouncing scene? im lost lmao

(may be out of context since i only read ch16 for ur question). but from what ive gathered makoto realises he has feelings for hokuto but was too late to react accordingly to his advances.
