Because atohira also likes suiren
he expects more from his rival (kawasumi)for getting a big improvement in karate. it like some parents when avoid their children to have excessive play time, and they advice their children to use most of their time for studying. these kind of people tell us to choose only one important thing to focus on. however, it will be great if someone can handle to have good achievement in two things or more.
Atohira isn't a very good friend. You can already read ahead on raff manga to see for yourself. He basically breaks the friend code that every decent friend should follow even if it hurts and trashes a relationship with a guy who admired him and saw him as something of an elder brother. As of the current chapters Atohira is no longer in Kawasumi's life. They dont talk anymore and are no longer friends. But not because Kawasumi doesn't want to be his friend. Despite everything Kawasumi still wanted Atohira in his life but Atohira cut him off and hasn't appeared in the story since.
o_o I like it. The only thing i keep rolling my eyes at is that guy who keeps commenting on their relationship. Your girlfriend this. Your girlfriend that. Your going to break up. Have you two kissed? What do you like about her... that guy asks the same questions at least twice. I'm wondering why its his business to ask and question their relationship in the first place.
