The thing is, Asian parents are more than that. If you think youre free when youre in the univ, yorue wrong, esp if u have conservative parents. Im sure that breakup had in impact to them and their family. The family will gradually be suspicious of them, no trust at all. That trust will come back after how many years, prolly by the time you almost finish univ. And while all of that is happening, youre conlicted between trying to move on, trying to forget, trying to find someone else, trying to win back your parents' favor plus many other things like ur univ life, grades, peers and more. If youre driven into the corner, you might start wanting to forget and overcome those by finding someone that you like. "Forgets him just like that"? No, its been more than 4 years lol. Will he dread over him everyday? A breakup doesnt look like that. In fact, when he saw Takimoto, those feelings kinda came back , thats the proof on how hard it was to forget him and how it took everything for him to forget Takimoto. So please, Asian parents are way more controlling than other parents. If youre an Asian, you yourself should know that. Also, you just cant "leave" them just because of that, thats not how it works.
The timing (when Takimoto and Gamou suddenly met after 10 yrs) is prolly the unrealistic one here, but Takimoto coming back and Amamiya being conflicted on his feelings are def normal. Taki and Gamou had no closure at all so one of them are bound to seek each other and seek closure. As for Amamiya, have u heard of the saying that kinda goes like "you wont see someone's worth until u lose them?" it's happens, whether its good or bad, actually this happens IRL and the concept of this is all over the place, whether in fiction or not.
To me this manga is generally on the realistic side. Human emotions arent that simple, thats why these situations happens. Its not perfect has some unrealistic stuff (like the timing as Ive said) but all in all, the portrayal of the characters are okay. And if the seme is selfish as u said, then lemme remind u that this is a manga where the seme is not the perfect one with perfect temper, perfect looks, and no flaws at all. This is a flawed seme, all of the ppl here are flawed, some of use are pissed that he got what he wanted, but like some ppl said, this happens IRL. Just because youre a "good" person, doesnt mean youll always win, that youll get what you want, that things will always go your own way so lets just all hope that Taki finds the person he deserves.
Okay aside from everything this is too unrealistic ?
Takimoto was just used as a bait so that amamiya would realize he can't live without gamou
He didn't even care about the fact that gamou chose takimoto over him and went and kissed him leaving him more and more indecisive
Going back to takimoto man who would love someone to the point of sacrificing himself for him and then stay ten years because their parents ?
I understand that parents might have control over highschool days but once you're University you're supposed to be free and there were other ways it just doesn't make sense and then gamou just forgets him ? Like that ? And falls with amamiya for no reason ?
Anyway this is so messed up
And I feel like all the characters are there so that the main couple ends up together they've got no real roles nor specificities
Just like saeki who btw I love so much
Or that man the secretary's ex
Anyway this was totally no real story with some useless misplaced drama and incredibly selfish seme that just got what he wanted
Anyway I need to sleep I've got class tomorrow
