Hii!! Souichi, the long haired guy is not an agressive character, his "homophobia" was originally an excuse to break his young brother's relationship because he extremely protective of his family, even more because of the death of their mother; not to mention, but on the start of this story that is not shown in this mang, but in Challengers by the same author, Souichi's university teacher tries to assault him and Morinaga is able to help him defend himself, both turn out ok but Souichi acquires a rather complicated trauma against gay people.
The initial story was written even before 2000, so characters that are uneducated about LGBT were a lot more common; Souichi, also, does accept and respect Morinaga, they already have a weird relationship before, it is messy, and this manga is about how they untangle this (▰˘◡˘▰)
Ohh I didn't know about the assault thing okay that makes more sense and thanks for telling me that makes it a lot better
Hahaha it's fine!! A lot of people get confused at the start because of it!! It is a very old story so the romantic nuances are very different than how it is done and showcased
nowadays! :D
