Kuroda is twisted. Sure he came from a dysfunctional family but how could he even harbor feelings of hatred towards other people (besides his parents, since they were both assholes). He totally did not have any reason to do so.
After reading that extra, I felt sorry for him for a moment, having assholes for parents, but the last panel just gave it away. It goes to show that he's a twisted and egotistical person who only likes to do things that would benefit him in some way.
I do admire how he fell in love with Tooru at some point in the story though. It was fluffy.
And Tooru, lets talk about Tooru and how it should be illegal for him to be this adorable <333333
I mean. It's totally possible for hatred to consume you. I grew up in a dysfunctional family, and I tell you, it was fucking messed up. I won't go into too much detail since I don't want to scar anyone. But it could go two ways. One, like me, totally normal and all. I probably have some screws loose, and by that I mean slightly detached emotions, even towards my own family. Or 2nd, twisted like Kuroda. Or people who live, flickering between normalcy and insanity.
I live in Japan and it's sad that for some people, this is their reality. Bullying is rampant in most offices and when you are younger, the elderly tend to exert their power on you (that is not always the case though). Japan is a wonderful country but it's scary sometimes as well.
On a lighter note, I'm glad I got to read about Kan-chan's side. He's still wrong for hurting Yumi but at least we now know he wasn't like that to begin with. I never hated him in the first place because it was obvious he had issues and even proved it very true when he let go of Yumi. Kan-chan's love for Yumi was real but because of his circumstances, he changed and although he hated what he had become, it was too late and the only solution was for him to let go of Yumi's hand. Excuse me as I go get a box of tissues.
This page and the one before it cracked me up XDDDD

Can we talk about the 5th panel where the three are posing for a photo but Taichi just goes ahead and zooms in to take only Nao's picture? Fucking dork.

I'm so confused. What's going on? Aren't they supposed to be dating? Why are they so indifferent? Please enlighten me. I'm as confused (and scared?) like a deer in headlights.
Edit: Okay, I had to re-read the entire thing to actually shed light to my own thoughts. I guess it might seem like they're a bit indifferent but they aren't. They're just really close that they don't really need kisses all the time; just each other's presence is already an impact to both of them. They already had sex (am I right or did I see that wrong?) so I think physical attraction and compatibility is out of the question. And that mysterious caller, that's probably an ex-boyfriend who would probably stir up the story a little bit.
yes, with that "different" talk and all... already hate the guy D:
