I SO agree with you! Everything that Keiichi put in place after leaving would have one expecting him to drop everything the moment he saw Shingo and BOTH of them apologizing and lovey-doveying it out afterwards. That probs would have been a bit more satisfying imo
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who thinks so. For me the main point of this arc was to see the couple as equals. This ending made it seem as if Keichi still has the upper hand in the relationship. Shingo was on the verge of a complete breakdown while, it seemed to me that Keichi still somewhat maintained his ground. I wasn't expecting the outcome to occur so soon at this chapter. Sensei could have made much better use of this angst to explore both characters.
Gotta agree with everyone here and say I'm a little disappointed at how this was resolved. No offense to the scanlator/translator, but I think maybe some of the meaning got lost in translation. I think there was more nuance to their conversation, but it didn't get fully conveyed. As is, I felt that the conclusion to the brother arc was much more satisfying and romantic when Keichii told Shingo that he wanted to love him in all the ways you couldn't love a family member. It felt so right; as if everything had come full circle for them. I mean this arc is essentially their marriage arc and it fell so flat. Keichii was basically speaking his vows and yet it ends with all this talk about bullying, bleh. I didn't really care for Keichii's initial cold reaction either; I understand they're broken up but he goes through all this trouble of leaving the ring for Shingo and telling his nephew to tell Shingo that he's loved everyday. That's the action of man still deeply in love, and a man who would have been elated to see Shingo at first sight. I guess I'm being picky, she tends to write them in sadist/masochist manner sometimes, but I much prefer the lovey-dovey over the bullying the one you love trope. Anyway, glad to see them back together, hopefully the next chapter will be a little bit more satisfying.
