How is the premise of the manga a skippable sideplot?
>essentially the same status quo as before
Shizuki is assured that even with Kusunoki gaining friends she won't leave him. Kusunoki is starting to realize her feelings for Shizuki, as well as showing she is able to handle social situations on her own. Hebikawa is shown to be far from the manipulative genius that people think she is as well as her starting to manifest feelings for Shizuki. And Irie got introduced with a small character arc for herself.
