^^ funny thing. Seem Aoi loved her since the beginning ^^ I'm rereading it and ... XD
Probably..but he is just a child. A toddler even. It's just puppy love/a crush and in time he will fall for a girl for real. This isn't the real deal for him although he does not know it yet. She is more like a mother figure.
Really? He's been the same way for five years at the least and some of those years he's only seen her intermittently but you think this is just puppy love? And even if it is, that's rather cruel the way you just shrugged it off. To a toddler, actually, no, someone who is in grade three no longer is a toddler, (so you were correct the first time, but, even) to a child, puppy love IS the real thing. And frankly the only reason I read this series was because of the twins. Matsunaga and Shiharu were flat characters and the ending seemed so rushed and heavy handed that unlike many on here I'm actually glad there was no wedding. Maybe a separate series for Rio and Takeru or even one of the twins going off to find their own happiness but please no more of the underdeveloped and uninteresting characters Matsunaga and cliched after all Shiharu. So boring.

Aoi-kun knows something's going on between Shiharu and Sei, and he definitely realizes his feelings will remain one-sided. Aww, his face on this page make me want to give him a hug.
