My exact thoughts!!
It wasn't emotional abuse but childish.
yes
*but it was childish.
He was shy to make a move himself.
maybe yes
completely agree, and it actually is emotional abuse imo. Towa is clearly naive, inexperienced, and gullible. He's been experiencing so much emotional and mental turmoil because he couldn't define his relationship with Mikado or make sense of his feelings. Any normal person would just communicate, but no, Mikado's fuckass manipulated him into confession and SA'd him almost every time. You can't call that consent when the person isn't even understanding the situation or has time to process what's going. He said it was hurting him and that he was scared multiple times, but the fuckass literally said "I'm not gonna stop"
reading shit like this in 2025 is just not a good idea ig lol
Why was it up to the seme to make a move? If person A knows their love is reciprocal but person B doesn’t, wouldn’t it make more sense for person A to say something rather than using emotional manipulation to force a confession? That trope always leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
