And speaking of Ishihara, narratively she didn't stand a chance, Satsuki took MC's first kiss and Ishihara literally had to cope after confessing to MC because MC wasn't sure if he wanted to date her so she compromised by suggesting trial dating but during all that trial dating they never once kissed or even had sex and speaking of sex she literally brought condoms, THIN condoms that were obviously going to "fail" so she could babytrap him but she couldn't even have sex with him because at every opportunity he was finding a way out of it or someone else was intervening to cockblock her, I'm pretty sure the story telegraphed her right from the start as the loser girl.
