It May Seem Like Hate strings together several vignettes: the friends coax Akane Yanagi into relaxing, Iura stays oblivious to how much he frightens Sawada, and Hori is recruited to tutor his exam-bound sister Motoko. A lighter, ensemble-driven entry.
Summary
The eleventh chapter of the series juggles a handful of smaller stories across the friend group. Much of the fun comes from the gang making an effort to help Akane Yanagi ease up and shed some of his stiffness around them.
Another thread plays on how little Syu Iura grasps his own effect on others, since he has no idea just how much he unnerves Honoka Sawada. The situation shifts to family matters when Iura's sister, Motoko, finds herself struggling to prepare for her entrance exams, prompting him to turn to Hori for tutoring help.
Key Events
The group works on drawing Yanagi out of his guarded manner. A running gag underscores that Iura remains unaware of how badly he intimidates Sawada. With Motoko facing trouble ahead of her entrance exams, Iura asks Hori to step in and support her studies.
