To me, it seems like Claire's run through the scenario of dating Marten mentally, and even though she knows she isn't dating him, she subconsciously thinks she is at some level, and treats him as if she were in some ways.
No, I don't have any personal experience with doing that in the past, why do you ask?

* She doesn't want him to move away.
* She's blushing.
* Marten seems unsurprised by the sentiment.
* They seem to be holding hands just off panel.
So when exactly did something happen between these two? If it didn't already, I think it is just about to.
I never really figured them for a match... although I know you all did.

Yea I thought she was blushing too, but if you look closely it is actually freckles

It's possible that Claire takes comfort in the idea that when she finally figures herself out enough to start dating, Marten will still be around.
Except he may not be. I was that guy once. She never did figure herself out, and I moved on.

We all process events according to our own personal histories, don't we?

Marten was pretty much that guy once. Didn't work out.
I remain unconvinced it ever does.

You're probably right. She's still making cute eyes at him though.

That's very insightful. I wonder if Marten is aware. I could go either way on that one.
Poor old Marten, his job turned into a Harem anime. Now he has the weird one and the shy one (meaning no disrespect; both are archetypes of the genre) both interested in him. Next thing you know, he'll walk in on one of them showing their boobs and he'll get his face slapped. I think there's room for Hannelore in this too, as the totally unavailable one who is still (somehow) kind of in love with him. Or at least she was once.
I apologize if this consitutes shipping. I don't think it does, but I'll take my lumps willingly if moderator opinions vary.

He may end up in another relationship. But I think she's certainly right that he's not going anywhere. Even if he tries to get his shit together I don't see him uprooting again, even if you ignore that it's a comic and it's not just going to toss out it's whole cast. For better or worse, I think he cares too much about the friendships he's built up to actually leave town.
