For everyone complaining, read the creator's note after the season 1 finale.

Tbh they usually wear suits or smt along the lines of business casual (=・ω・=)

This argument/fight was bound to happen. Going back to the start of their relationship, you have a teen alpha who suddenly found his fated mate. Seems great? Not really. Looking back, you have a TEENAGER finding his fated mate after being insecure about his 2nd gender for years. Until then, Hazuki hadn't been all into playing the role of an alpha bc of his past experiences and suddenly, finding his fated mate, he wants to fill that protective and reliable alpha role. He pushed himself to mature (and it's been explicitly said so by Naoto as well that he(N) feels that Hazuki is more mature than him despite his age). Hazuki wanted to be someone who protected and cared for his new family, pushing himself to do his best. That's great and all, but he was young and didn't have the same experiences as Naoto so he was always playing a catch up game in terms of experience. His lack of experience and perceived capabilities - especially when Minato came along - really showed compared to Naoto and Hazuki had to deal with those insecurities that came with feeling like he cannot protect or help. We saw him hide and withdraw because he felt that he was being a bad partner and parent by being unable to even hold his baby. They were able to temporarily patch up (not fix entirely) the issue then because Naoto got through Hazuki's insecurities by explaining his previous lack of knowledge and own insecurities about being a single teen parent. Great, but Hazuki still struggles with this gap between him and Naoto. After that they seem fine, and they are okay because they can communicate and help each other out. However, Minato is growing and he's reached the age where he is being a little rebel. Hazuki isn't prepared, they now also have a third child to care for, and that gap is apparent again. Adding to this insecurity, is the fact that Hazuki is not trusting Naoto by doubting if Naoto would stay with him if he found someone more reliable. Naoto of course wouldn't but Hazuki believes that his perceived lack of ability to help Naoto will push him away and that Naoto would find it easy to move on from him. At this moment, things are made worse bc Otoha (if I remember his name right) is good with kids - one of the biggest failings for Hazuki. Hazuki needs to read books and blogs and learn from other parents, but this guy? He appears to be a natural with kids. What Hazuki doesn't see however, is that Otoha most likely has had years of experience with kids, so of course he knows a lot. However, Hazuki's insecurities and his jealousy and his lowering confidence in himself is building up. And in this new chapter we see him blow up - which is something new because he's tried to hide when he feels insecure before - at hearing Naoto compliment someone else on something he has been struggling with. It's not good and I get what he was trying to say, but he did not say anything good. He ended up victim blaming, which of course hurt Naoto because 1) it was a terrible traumatic time for him and 2) Naoto most likely feels betrayed by Hazuki who once told him that he loved him for who he was and would not look down on him for being an Omega. Naoto has been told repeatedly that omega are at fault for whatever happens to them, but Hazuki was different and based on his reaction, Naoto feels a deep anger towards Hazuki now because he used those feelings and experiences against him. I know they're going to work through this, but it is also true that this was bound to happen. Hazuki isn't a bad partner or parent, he always puts his family first and is an active parent. He's never left Naoto to deal with the kids alone on purpose and he takes on doing chores and childcare actively. Naoto, and others, are amazed by how hard Hazuki works to take care of his family while learning to take over his mother's company. In this chapter, Naoto and Shizuku are excited to prepare a surprise birthday for him and there are no negative comments about him napping because they believe he deserves to rest. Naoto was probably even bragging about how good Hazuki is to him. Everyone sees it but Hazuki. He wakes up and immediately scolds himself for napping when he was only supposed to put Aoi to sleep, he worries about not giving Naoto or his mother in law resting time. He believes he should be able to give others rest when he himself needs it, and he sees it as a failure not to do so. He's just really insecure, and honestly I get that. He feels he isn't living up to his role and that he is not being a good parent or partner because of it, when he is already a great parent and partner. He's young, younger than Naoto, so of course he doesn't have all the experience and knowledge that Naoto does and he isn't giving himself grace. He is seeing himself as a failure but at the same time he doesn't want to admit it and he's burst out now, saying the wrong things and taking his frustration of himself out on Naoto.

Poor Shizuku, she left with her parents happily together and will return to them having fought. She's definitely going to be hurt by that. I just hope this fight doesn't last too long, my heart can't take it. ╥﹏╥

(╬￣皿￣)凸

They're both wrong, that's kind of the point. They both have to learn to be better lovers. Both are acting on their traumas and need to learn to overcome them. Yeah I get the whole "nice guy" thing but he tries to get communication started and gets blown off. It's frustrating seeing them both stumble around without dealing with their problems but seeing as they both want to stay together, they will be willing and able to learn to be better partners. Because honestly, chronic jealousy that can't even have you stand your partner having a life outside of you is equally as toxic. Like boundaries are a thing but not being able to interact even with coworkers is yikes

Anyways rant over lol

As the comment title says, I have to re read the manga, but wasn't it revealed that Shirotani didn't actually have mysophobia? Like the whole point was that his internal struggle made him have physical reactions and when searching it online, he related a lot to people with mysophobia and interpreted/convinced himself he had it.

Again, got to re read it, but I think a major part of the story was that Shirotani's struggles with the one other guy resulted in him trying to find an explanation/cover to hide away those feelings. Anyways, sad to hear the anime was canceled
╥﹏╥

It's kind of sad that I feel like the only one that is excited for the new pair ╥﹏╥

And before anyone asks, I only like these pairings in fiction. Reality is another ballpark dudes, I would not support it. But it's a fictional pairing that I find cute.

Theory time: I think that we could get a sequence of events where JK is going to fight and Dan's grandmother is passing away, and like an ass JK will prevent Dan from either receiving the news or from going to his grandmother. He either will be a dick and say "do your job" or won't bother to hear Dan's pleas. This will definitely push Dan away until JK begins his redemption.

Also a wild idea from me is that JK may actually win the fight but will lose a lot more outside of it. He might lose Dan, but he might also lose his career if he pushes himself too hard or his opponent targets his shoulder and he is severely injured during the fight. That might be what pushes JK even more as he wins but he is unable to fight again or is temporarily placed into a break (which he would hate).

My thinking is that they are trying to recruit Dan, to get info or him to work with them. That would just be so much more for convenient for them, since they've already tried to send in spies, so they're not gonna suddenly openly antagonize JK. I'm thinking they're gonna offer him a lot of money and they're hoping to gain someone who knows about the physical condition without too much problem bc they don't know the relationship between Dan and JK and the gym enough to know if they would flip their shit if he was suddenly gone. Who knows tho, I'm excited to see

It's funny seeing ppl like "yo wtf is this?!" Bc the author just really wants to write smut, so yeah the plot ain't there bc the author wanted smut lol

Also, maybe it makes me a perv, but the plot makes sense. Like I think it's interesting and basic, so I do like both the smut and plot. It kind of the reminds me of another story I've read before in how it's smut with a workable plot lol

The most interesting thing is that Dan only really liked JK bc he was the one to help him the most. He picked Dan up, let him stay at his home, allowed him to save his grandmother's things, gave him a job at the gym, etc. Like Dan is right, he has been so alone and helpless for so long that any sign of possible kindness was all he needed to develop kind feelings, and with his history of being assaulted and beaten he most likely didn't even consider all his abuse by JK as all that bad. Incredibly fucked up but Dan needed to realize that he built a fake persona around JK who is a terrible terrible person.

Ultimately, I hope he is either contacted for info or to work as a spy because he may be freed from JK and gain some agency by making the choice. It would also be funny as hell to see JK be out-bid for the loyalty and assistance of Dan, but that's just me.
