I honestly don't know how to feel.

As a standalone character I like Akihiko very much. I think he's a strong and funny character. But I like Haru much more and I want him to be happy.

I know that Aki was going through a rough time and that's why he did what he did to Haru but it still doesn't excuse him.

Haru really and truly loves Aki whereas Aki didn't even know what he felt towards Haru until Aki did something really stupid.
I know that just bc Haru loves Aki that doesn't mean Aki has to love him back cause love just doesn't work that way. And I also know that things can change. It was always a possibility for Aki to fall in love with Haru.

And while I think (and hope) that Aki truly feels sorry for actions and that he actually does love Haru now it still makes me just a tiny bit uncomfortable cause I still don't know the depth of his feelings and Haru deserves someone who'll love him completely and absolutely. We're supposed to assume that Aki's feelings turned to love in the time between the assault and the competition but since it's only implied and we don't really get to see it it's still a bit...
I'm hoping that everything becomes more clear in the chapters to come and that their relationship solidifies and is a true one filled with love. Cause they both deserve it and I love them both very much.
