Spoilers up to chapter 8!

Just a bit surprised to see that Naho and Kakeru still aren't together after chapter 7.
Maybe I'm reserved or something but don't you think holding hands and that "answering the question" was pretty much a confession? For a shoujo manga at least that'll be more than enough.

But ah, I guess at the same time it's not the point right now, with both Naho and Kakeru especially having pretty depressing things to deal with, no time for this. That is still pretty realistic and I'd prefer it to be this way anyway.

Hmm, another note, I don't see how Kakeru doesn't want to talk about his depression over the incident.
From what I see he didn't have like a major depressing life so far actually, so with enough people supporting him (Grandma, friends) he shouldn't be all emo by himself. But then again, this is plot for the manga.
