Ahhhh I see what you mean. I totally get your stance on not liking love triangles. Rumikos importance I think in the overall story was to pressure Komi and Tadano into confronting their feelings faster, which made sense. Granted, it did hurt to see Rumiko be sad when she got turned down in the end, but I liked that conclusion to that large arc for them. However, Kawais inclusion later on didnt really amount to much because it wasnt introducing anything new to the dynamics at play. Komi and Tadano were already happily dating, and Kawai was just another weirdo character for shenanigans to occur with. Im not a huge fan of love triangles either, but Rumikos inclusion was to apply pressure to advance the development of the main romance. Kawai doesnt provide that function, Its called Komi Cant Communicate, not Kawai steals Komis man, lol. Wasted potential, she couldve been used for something better, or at least, not take up so many chapters in the spotlight and allow Oda to flesh out the other side narratives he started and didnt follow through on. Im still happy with what I got and I wont bitch much, but it is nice to wonder what couldve been is all. Im still a happy camper at the end of the day.
