wow.. good interpretation (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Sorry! Didn't mean to say that your topic was annoying, it actually helped me to understand the story. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Sometimes when I read comments like this i feel like I'm in the literature class. :D
Yeah~ But, it's really refreshing to see comments like that, knowing someone is really, not just reading, but understanding the story. And Asumiko-sensei is great to trigger readers to read between the lines, moreover her art feels like "art". (=・ω・=)
Oh, I never meant that in a bad way. I often dont notice or understand author's "clues" in the story so its really helpful :D
I never meant it to sound bad or something too hehe.
I want to see comments like this when I'm confused on a story
I think to make sense of the ending, it's important to remember that C-kun doesn't know if A-senpai really likes him or not, and that he finds himself "right on the brink." In other words, in the beginning, C-kun doesn't like either senpai more than the other, and he's waiting for a choice to be made for him, because he can't make the choice himself. He's torn between the two choices.
Meanwhile, C-kun and A-senpai crosses the threshold from friends to lovers ("we went into that room no one else could enter"), and it's A-senpai who takes them there ("yeah, but A-senpai has the key," a metaphor with gay sex as the locked room). B-senpai, maybe because of internalized homophobia, is too scared to cross over, and remains at the threshold, unable to "save" C-kun, unable to take A-senpai's place. In the end, B-senpai picks a fight from outside of the locked room, by mocking C-kun as a homo, and it's A-senpai who rises to C-kun's defense. Which is how C-kun makes the decision and finally looks up and sees A-senpai. He knows, now that A-senpai really likes him and that there's no point wavering for B-senpai. A-senpai pushes C-kun "off the brink" by demonstrating that he, more than B-senpai, likes C-kun.
