How is it cringey? This is why i get pissed off when people say communication solves the problem. Because they are doing nothing but communicating in this story and yet now we have people like you complaining it's cringey. Especially when the character's are developed in such a way that you can actually SEE what the author is trying to express. Specifically why Kei cold shouldered Hikaru when they reunited.
But damned if they do, damned if they don't. Sad.
Haha, true.
To me it's the way the taller guy keeps getting into the shorter one's personal space that makes it totally cringy. Kendo-kun is so reserved and distant during those scenes that it makes it look like he's super uncomfortable, lol. Which makes me uncomfortable in turn.
