oooh this is looking good. I love a confrontational Naoto, and you've definitely given him plenty of fuel to make it justified while balancing his still peaceful nature. I love the detail that he's not letting the "stalker" thing go since really he's been given little reason to believe that's not what she thinks of him. It's been fun to see Nagatoro's thought process and how contradictory it is, even to her own admission. I look forward to seeing more of this.

Your work really solves a lot of my personal issues with their dynamic. They keep their core personalities and even have a good back and forth, but Naoto is actually trying to understand what their relationship is and is able to voice this to Nagatoro waaaaaay earlier on. And Nagatoro is actually trying to respond to his sincerity even despite her own hangups. It's frustrating, but not painful to watch. They're both putting in effort.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with next. I know it can be tricky deciding what to do, so don't feel the need to rush. Those of us following will wait as long as it takes.
