But didn't taichi already tell kouhei that he loves him? I don't know how much verbal can he get with that. It's not taichi's fault that kouhei lacks self-confidence (in which kouhei admitted multiple times). There is only so much taichi can do if kouhei lacks self-confidence.
I agree fully..Taichi did admit his love but then it makes it weird to Kouhei that even though the man you love said he loves him; he doesn't physically act upon it more. It's like a reassurance to Kouhei that Taichi is fully commited to this and it's not a joke or phase. But of course I'm not saying Taichi is to blame nor Kouhei. Like I mentioned both men really need to learn to communicate if they want to last in the long run. Taichi is nowhere near to blame for Kouhei's self doubting and barely opening up. I wish Kouhei would stop stepping on his own toes and realize Taichi does love him; he just shows it in a more shy way then himself ( Taichi's love just isn't as in your face). It's catch 22 basically to me at least.
True. Hopefully with time taichi will be able to say it more firmly like kouhei. :)

Been reading this for a while and I think this is my first real comment. I really enjoy the aspect of Kouhei and Taichi's relationship. Yes, it can be a drag but also eye opening.
Relationships are not as basic as people think. People get offended that Taichi is dense, but when are people ever not dense or naive? Especially (sorry if I offend some people) young men. He's young and one track minded, so I'm not shocked he misses Kouhei's signals. Most people would; everyone has to stop looking at this as third persons and see this as if it were you. I am a young female and I know if I kept my feelings hidden 95% of the time and threw signals here and there my significant other would surely miss it.
Not because he's is selfish or too stupid but he's human.
Verbal and physical communication is what I'm saying. Now yes I did love Kouhei's "I love you" it was raw and upfront but I think Taichi himself needs to open up too and get comfortable with his love life more. I just need more from both parties. Taichi to wake up and realize his love is actually normal for Kouhei and Kouhei to stop doubting everything because something makes him jealous or sad.
