Consider her situation. They are best friends but his feelings for her are uncertain and usually when it comes to romance their is a strong likelyhood it will affect their friendship especially if the feelings are one way.
1) Its her guilt which was revealed later.
2) Just to make the person they like to make a move they do that. This is especially common in bestfriend relationships and commonly done by girls. Its shallow but it happens.
3) Kurata doesn't want to break up but probably wants to distance Osawa from Misao if possible so his relationship could progress.
Her guilt and Kurata making that offer to Osawa indirectly hints his relationship with her did not progress further since they started dating and her confession to Osawa now proves that point.
1) She wouldn't be reminiscing how she loved Kurata for half of the series (exactly LOVE, not friendship, but love.)
2) She would not go out with him (like...why? She loves another person, she's already close enough to him, so going out would not any sense. Making him jealous? Don't think so, they're friends, it's pointless)
3) Have a fight for a girl's heart? Come on, it doesn't work like this when it comes to real love. It either love or not, not choosing alfa by his achievments. The only probable reason for their match is that he wanted to give her over somehow, while he could just break up without much explaining, for everything's well known.
To sum up, total Omsk. Some unexplainable bullshit. Artist doesn't/didn/t know himself what he's writing about.
I'll say it again--love that guy's crazy grin.
It's also very demanding . . . what I've heard is that the typical distance leaves the rowers with a difficult compromise between "sprint" and "long-haul" approaches to effort/muscle use, with the advantage of a fast start tending to push them into, basically, trying their damnedest to maintain a sprint approach well beyond what would normally be the limit. Tough.
But I find I'm liking the ditzy girlfriend from the wrong side of the tracks. She's got gusto.
