I feel like the author doesn’t know how to create a problem for them to overcome without making it a huge deal of a miscommunication and a breakup that was unnecessary. Like I get it, it’s super common in manga but.. why? Tools and tropes are meant to be used when appropriate and you should choose them carefully for the plot. This feels like someone just random generated between the worse plot tropes and then plopped one right down in this blank space. Not to mention, this is like such a dumb timing. If you were gonna make a big misunderstanding, it would be better to make it about the actual safe word being used rather than supposedly him being reminded of the ex. It should have come from our baby uke not the seme.
