    <Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start With Magical Tools> Volume 10 - New mainline Dahlia. The obliviousness of the main pair is really becoming grating. It takes on comical proportions just to draw things out between them.

      Wait, 10 volumes and those two are still not together? I watched the anime and figured it was just about to happen.

        Nope. For a long while, it felt natural how those two slowly grew closer. Somewhere around where the anime ended (end of Volume 2) was the point where they should have switched from friendship to courtship. But instead, the author decided to bait their relationship ad infinitum. The sheer amount of stupidity they go through in their internal monologues to explain away any awkward advances one of them might have made is mind-numbing. Funnily enough, it’s pissing off the in-universe side characters as well. So the author seems to have some semblance of self-awareness.
