It's been a long time since I've re read this manga. I remember reading it a few times when I was in high school, though it's kinda long to read entirely.
I still love this manga so much. But... There is something I still don't understand. Even after all this time, though maybe now I'm more near the truth than before?
I still don't fully understand Kiyomine and Takara's relationship. I guess it's very intentional from the author of course... There is a lot of light skinship, but it's never serious... but they don't seem to be really friends either, they're way more than that.
What I'll say next if my point of view, how I felt things, but I don't know if I have the truth.
I feel like, maybe... Kiyomine would have been fine going out for real with Takara? Maybe... even having sex with him. But Takara wouldn't want to, or so I feel.
So maybe that's why their relationship is the way it is. Kiyomine just do a bit of skinship, but not more to not cross the limit of what Takara would accept. There is also the fact that Kiyomine likes girls, but Takara would be the only exception.
But Takara is too manly in his personality to have romantic feelings towards Kiyomine. He's not gay, he likes Kiyomine as a person and he feels very at ease with him, he cares a looooot about him... but it'll be never more than that. Like, I can imagine Kiyomine wanting to have sex with Takara, but I can't imagine the reverse.
I don't remember in which chapter it was, but at one moment Kiyomine says to his sister that being with Kou is impossible, cause he would never choose her over his late wife. And Ayako says in her head that she knows that her love would be "impossible" (well not really but beating Takara's mom I guess) and in this fact, that she and Kiyomine are exactly the same. So Kiyomine's love is impossible in other words.
I would have oh so loved if there was a continuation. What would have happened 10-20 years later? Would those 2 go separate ways in life? Would they marry a girl each, have children and see each other from time to time? Or would they still be together like living together etc without really being a couple? Or would Takara finally develop feelings for Kiyomine?
Maybe when I'll be a grandma... I'll finally get their relationship. Lol.
