I really like the idea of Ryuji and Makoto dating, but I feel like when Makoto asked him out, the vibe was similar to when Makoto asked Saki out. Like Makoto was just going through the motions of what's expected of you when a friend has a crush on you, or something like that. I feel really bad for Ryuji, like Makoto is just getting his hopes up.. But I also get that Makoto was in a really difficult position and felt like both Ryuji and Saki were drifting away because of their own messy romantic feelings (or lack there of). I like how this situation was set up in such a way where each character's actions make sense based on their individual personality and feelings.
