Fuufu Ijou%2c Koibito Miman. Chapter 80 -
Akari’s face goes through three stages: shock, disbelief, and then a waterfall of tears. She punches his chest weakly and yells, "You idiot! You took so long!"
"Shiori… you were my first crush. You represent everything I thought I wanted. But somewhere along the way, I started looking forward to cooking with someone who complains my eggs are too salty. I started missing someone who kicks me in her sleep. I love what I have now."
Jirou stops her. He takes a deep breath—the kind anime fans know precedes a confession. But instead of confessing to Shiori, he confesses about Akari. fuufu ijou%2C koibito miman. chapter 80
He doesn’t explicitly say "I love Akari," but he doesn’t need to. Shiori, being emotionally intelligent, gets the message. Her reaction is heartbreakingly mature. She nods, tears streaming down her face, and says, "I’m happy. Because the Jirou I liked would never have been this honest." She asks for one last hug, which Jirou gives—a hug of goodbye, not of romance. Shiori leaves the library first, closing that chapter of her life. The core of Chapter 80 is the final six pages.

She turns, surprised. Before she can say something sarcastic or deflective (her usual defense mechanism), Jirou does the one thing readers have been waiting 80 chapters for. Akari’s face goes through three stages: shock, disbelief,
He arrives just as Akari’s train is pulling in. Akari is standing with her suitcase, her back to him. Her shoulders are shaking—she’s crying again.
"I’m sorry for yesterday. I shouldn’t have said that. I know you and Akari-san have something real." You represent everything I thought I wanted
Jirou, gasping for breath, calls out: "Akari!"
