Is this the guy from sekaiiChina who was in love with chiakin?

I thought too!

And yess I just googled and it's Yanase. I always wondered why he never got a happy end ect but now it seems like it will work out. It's just kinda strange, bcuz both of them were rejected and then the mangaka just ship them.. but they look cute together anyway, it's just surprising.. Yanase seemed like a seme to me. XD
