I don't understand how people downplay the significance of that part. It's not as simple as "throwing himself at other guys" or "cheating on the Seme" yada yada.
It was his past experiences that made him start thinking that "it's fine as long as it feels good." He's just escaping from reality because he doesn't want to face his hurt feelings and the possibility of betrayal. That chapter hurt so much, I just want to go in and hug Ryo. And no, Akanishi wasn't at fault either. They just happened to have differing ways when tackling love, and just so happen to be looking at different sides of the same coin, that's all.
Manipulative? Bullshit. Roundabout? Yeah. They are totally different things, please.
Therapy? What therapy are people even going on about? They ain't sick. They grew up meeting shitty people but that's it. Those just shaped their preferences in love; both grew to have some possessive tendencies. One wants a partner who could always be with him while the other wants someone who will never abandon him. Isn't it normal??? People who thinks the characters have problems must be living in a world of sunshine and rainbows. Smh.
