I'm not surprised that Ritsu was devastated, its nice that Takano was able to hear that Ritsu suffered when they no longer had contact. It was just as heartbreaking to hear that Ritsu was really hurting while he was overseas and for a long time.

The relationships are intense, making things right will take some effort. I hope in helping each other the characters learn they are not that different in terms of just wanting to be acknowledged. Having to see the situation though the less popular persons eyes will make things change for the better little by little. This is a genuinely sweet, honest and well written webtoon. Thank You for the chance to read Never Understand.
