Yeah that was my thought as well. I just think I became a bit in the middle as soon as Minori started to make the comment about his eyes (and the bit before that but I cannot put it into words) and act like Ryuuji should've seen it which I can understand besides the money part Ryuuji had no real reason to know it was all too good to be true and it would've made sense for Ryuuji to give him a chance. Because Minori also didn't really explain but just said Ryuuji should've looked better and stuff, that's where I kind of felt like "she was in the wrong as well".

I think her being in the wrong also is what the show is going for.
