I feel i am going to be disatified with the ending, i wanted this couole to work out but takanoXritsu is a big No No for me. Idk sometimes i really think Nao is right he is more worthy, even tho i am also not a fan of NaoXritsu, so i feel ritsu should stay single. Why bcz ...
Actually Nao is right, it is a disadvantage for ritsu to be in a relationship with Takano in regards of his future. Ritsu is nice person, very tender and emotional, he should somehow slap the truth into Takano and Nao that this is going no where, and he should go strengthen his character by mingling with people.
Altough i understand the trauma that ritsu went through, but i hate seeing him so clueless about his own needs, like why can't you take care of yourself, you are a grown man!
Takano is one of the people i would hate to be around, professional on the outside, looks cool and calm but inside is nothing like tht! He snaps, also plays saddistic mind games with his lover to make them attached, he is good in almost everything! But i still hate him.
Why the gloominess? it is bcz they are starting to lose hope in getting back to eachother properly! I mean both are in the most unhealthy relationship, but dunno how will fix it, Onodera is losing hope that takano will listen to him and takano thinks he will never provide ritsu with anything good, and might leave him, tht is also the reason he got triggered by the word 'disadvantage'. So the author has to adress that gloominess by making the story repatative and a bit bland, so she can amphasize on both leads losing hopes bcz of repatitive problems
I feel if the story really wants a happy ending is for ritsu and takano, is for both to learn how to persue someone else other than eachother and enter in this mutual liking phase and be happy!

first part of the storyline, yes it was hard for both to be together rimantically and forget the past and move on...
plus I always remember the 10 years timing isnt the same in the storyline, the updates are just slow!

Second Onodera is /had been depressed , even if he knows Takano did not mean to laugh at him but was just nervous, you don't know what happens if a depressed person falls in love and how negative things got in onodera's head!!

Third, Takano isn't helping, treating onodera like a fuck buddy relationship and continue to say "i love you" afterwards.

I think if this was real life both Takano and ritsu need to go get some help to balance emotions, depression and anxiety...
