    It's essential to consider the broader context of the story, which spans a significant time skip. Life is unpredictable, and high school relationships often don't last forever. Think of Taichi and Futaba as one of those high school couples everyone expects to stay together, only to discover years later that they didn't. During the time skip, we don't get a detailed account of what transpired, which leaves much to our imagination. However, we can infer that after high school, Taichi and Futaba's relationship didn't withstand the test of time. Things simply didn’t work out. We can only assume that after Taichi and Futaba broke up, he and Touma reconnected and something clicked between them again. Although I’d like to argue that Taichi have always harbored feelings for Touma during high school and even before. These feelings might have been repressed due to the societal expectations and he didn't really know what to make of them at the time. Then, when Taichi and Touma reconnected during the time skip, they were able to explore their relationship freely without all the high school drama and confusion and fell in love once again. I get the frustration of some readers over the lack of detailed events during the time skip, but it leaves room for interpretation, allowing us to imagine the growth and changes the characters underwent. Just how the author intended. So, yeah, the ending might feel sudden, but it shows how feelings can change and grow over time. Taichi ending up with Touma signifies the importance of self-discovery. It also underscores that life can take unexpected turns, and sometimes, the relationships that last are the ones that face trials and transformations beyond the high school years.

    For what ive read i didnt see taichi have feelings for touma, its like yeah its sudden like life is sudden but theres a reason why its a manga and we are called the readers, we want a story that is set out straight not to use our imagination, i feel like there should be atleast 1 chapter to explain how taichi and touma get together. i just think that its another reason why this site’s front page are bl so that it resonates with the readers not for the story. i dont hate bl its just how did they get together, we are not here to speculate we are here to read and be one of the characters, if it ended like that then it feels like its justed dropped and author hit us with “tl;dr for the bl fans taichi and touma get together for unknown reasons” but who i am to say its the authors characters and the authors story so i dont get to say, but ill hate until i find how they got together and it better be interesting for how many people recommended this to me.

    i just feel like i read an dropped manga that is marked complete.

    To be fair, this isn’t really a BL. It’s a shounen and was published under a shounen magazine. The author intended to throw a curveball with this ending fully knowing that it would not please everyone and he would definitely receive mixed reactions, so he was able to achieve that I guess. There are some who liked how it ended but also some who got mad over it, it is kind of expected for this type of ending, which isn’t something new. Personally, I liked it because I’m someone who appreciates endings that are open for interpretation and stories that would have you micro-analyzing the characters. But I also understand why people may not like it. Readers have varying opinions. To each their own.
