I understand why you commented this. For them having sexual intercourse would be the natural outcome of the events unfolding and certainly if you felt like that is the obvious next step it means the author did their job well.
Still Given is a story that has lots of symbolisms and metaphores, it's poetic side is strong and the most beautiful one. I find myself craving for more every chapter since they are so short, they are like the most wonderful song and I want to keep listening-reading. This can only means the author is superb don't you think?
... Also, in a way the words written and what's lost in translation can very well be more erotic than images so... And a story can have as many meanings and readings as it has readers, nobody is actually wrong, just too many opinions on the same subject.
Joke aside. For people who really meant me wanting this shounen ai to be yaoi after knowing this author already has some yaoi manga under the belt plus seeing some shounen ai turning to yaoi couple of years must have scared you and felt like puking right, after all we are all nuns preaching about religion where two guys can't have sex here. Ah! my eyes are burning. I am so sorry to have offended you for my explicit desires. Hopefully, from now on I will not mind what garbage comes from this comment section.
Well, people are preocupied about you fetichizing or the like and meant you are wrong for it. While they have no claims about insulting and calling names, which also is so hypocritical since their lists are full of smut and yaoi most times.
Also they fail to see that this is fiction, mere drawings...
I've been here for 6-7 years already and its always the same.

Mafuyu>Yuki
Kaji>Ugetsu
Kaji>Haruki
Shizu>Hiiragi
What if the author write smut scenes (which is a possibility), are you going to hate on Given or keep loving it?]]]
I wrote this in other comment because I think it's true... I love Given cause is a nice story.
I must have come off like I was telling you off, when in reality I was concerned with how easily kids were insulting.
Man the author is killing me...........WHY CAN'T THIS BE A YAOI..........WHY(╯°Д °)╯╧╧ ( ̄ε(# ̄)Σ
