I do agree with you that Hayato did something bad to his brother, and his brother is not at fault at all for punching him, but the one most at fault here was Urabe's aniki since he lied and seduced Hayato. Hayato was like a 2nd year middle-schooler, a very impressionable age, when if you're a sexually confused boy who is told he is needed by someone he thinks he finds attractive, and Urabe made it sound like Hayato's brother was a bad bf, I could see why Hayato was somehow "tricked" or convinced. Not that that makes it ok, but I'm not as mad at him as I would be if he were older.
Everyone below should also read this. This and the fact that the author might purposely not have focused on feeling guilty for his brother (maybe he did but it wasn't just put to light). We also didn't know how urabe's bro "came unto" Hayato. Was it persistent? Did he try tl seduce hayato? Did hayato consistently rejected before giving in? There's a lot we don't know.
I was just rereading this and had the chance to sneak up to the comments and I felt out of place since I didn't really feel anything negative towards Hayato. I think it's also because there's not much material to incite such feelings in me.
After Urabe talks to Hayato on the staircase Hayato is reminded of what happened, and explicitly says that Urabe's aniki seduced him by saying kind things and saying that Hayatos oniisan wasn't a good bf, but then after they were caught he shifted all the blame on Hayato. That's why I'm not mad at Hayato, just like you said I had no negative feelings for him.
ahhhh I see, that makes sense as well...
Yea, I wish there were more info. If there was a good closure I would be left extremely satisfied. Unfortunately, we don’t know what happend between hayato and his aniki. That left me hanging and feeling dissatisfied haha.
╮(￣▽￣)╭
EXACTLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HAHAHA
I feel what you're saying, but there is a lot we don't know.
We know nothing about the kind of relationship Hayato and his brother had, maybe they had a bad relationship? Maybe something else happened before?
And even if not, I feel that being 14 is a messed up age and an older person can totally affect them to do things they normally wouldn't.
And even if this doesn't sound probable to you, remember that everyone makes mistakes and deserve second chances. Especially at a younger age.
I still stand with Hayato. <3
I love this couple but.....I can’t tolerate what Hayato did to his aniki. Sure, his aniki was wrong for beating up Hayato. but the person his bf was cheating with was his bro. I mean, a family member. If I were in his place ofc I’ll be mad with my bf. FUCK HIM. but I’ll be so disappointed and sad the fact that he cheated on me with my own sister or in his case, brother. Sure, I may not have the closest relationship with my sibling but IT’S MY GODDAMN SIBLING. MY OWN FUCKING BLOOD. THAT SHIT WOULD HURT AND SCAR ME. So Hayatowas WRONG for cheating with aniki’s bf. THAT’S SO SAD. I mean fuck Urabe’s aniki, he’s a dick, a jerk. In the first place, why did Hayato accepted the invitation and had sex with Urabe’s aniki? THAT’S THE PROBLEM.
