In Defense Of The Slow Burn

This comic in particular perfectly captures the confusion that comes with first love. It's sweet without being cliche.

And I know a lot of people in the comments are upset with Ootani. Be kind to the little bean! His overthinking EVERYTHING is part of his charm. It's cute.

I think Ootani falling for Takatsuki is very genuine. He doesn't feel the need to act a certain way and there are no heavy expectations of him. People too often associate love with nerves and stress. It can also be a feeling of security and warmth.

Everyone keeps saying poor Oba-San but she knew what type of guy she fell for that's why she makes the first move. And she's too cool for him anyway. I like to think she goes on to have her own Yuri adventure.

Ultimately what I am trying to convey is I love this FREAKING comic. It deeply saddens me that more of you don't see this as an absolute masterpiece.

To those of you who read this rant -- Thank you. I'm impressed. But also why????
