I love this story, it touched on both realistic side AND the idealist side of a BL romance.
Many dislike that rape scene so much while lack to see the character development and the internal struggle from it. BOTH of them are not that good lol, you guys think Naol deserved better, while his behaviour since highschool was keep getting close to ladies, yes it could simply be pure friendship but right at the beginning he was literally try to go for girls through that??? As a friend Taichi definitely knows, obviously he had huge insecurities. Their biggest problem was unable to voice out their actual concerns not just from Taichi side. Hell I dislike what the guy did almost rape his partner but ya'll act like what Nao was pure angel and deserved better man lmao. (The Nishi guy was literally TRYING BREAK THEM UP, a perfectly normal couple at that point and ppl wish for him and Nao to get together like wut? When REALISTICALLY, that bevaiour would have been call out as well as a jerk third-wheeler?)
Also yeah, this is also on a more 'idealist' side of fiction, no way 'real world' would play out that nicely, and no way on a normal relationship these two would get back together in the first place. If you want to look for purely realistic stories I believe there are definitely ones out there.
Anyway, I enjoyed the story as a whole. It was good. I'm glad Taichi grew up and start thinking more about the people around him not just him and Nao, and won't become a person like his dad, or mom was, I'm glad Nao learnt to put distance where and when it matters, and managed to keep his positive side despite the gaze of ppl around directed at them.
Looking at them trying to come out to their parents are definitely the best part of this story for me. It's not easy but at the same time you always hope your family, and the one important to you got your back.
