I can't read this but I think Akari is this old man

I think it looks like he taught him to cook?

Yeah it is.
(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
ohh so he's like a mentor
Thats the impression I got from the raws
Yeah. The dude helped him when he was a kid, gave him a job and a skill etc.
it's so different! i mean tatsumi is soo strange XD and shinobu is kind of mystery too. is this akari his first love? is he closeted, and is that the reason he finds it hard to desire anything? it's like they're both children, learning to be well-rounded human beings.
