Well. It kinda felt like the author more glossed over it than actually resolved anything with Risa and Nacchan, and aside from getting mad at Risa for being off-tempo (and, hm, I gotta wonder if having to play the same instrument as Nacchan weren’t part of that… Ryouma, babe, I get where you’re coming from, but you’re an idiot. It’s not that they simply dislike each other and have to learn to get along, they’re bully and victim) and grabbing her hands to make her play the castanets correctly, Nacchan didn’t really act the way I expected her to. This “resolution” felt like a cop-out tbh (Ah, I guess this applies to ch 12 as well; I read the two back-to-back)

Ryouma chasing Risa around the café with the first castanets he made was adorable though

Agree with you @enbyboiwonder about the Risa/Nacchan situation. The build up over several chapters and then resolved like a by product of something else? That was just a total gloss over… Considering the atogaki, that kinda surprised me; yeah, I ended up reading the rest too. But I’ll go into detail next time!
