Hey buddy, I THINK you should seriously talk with him about your feelings, he might be in the closet or maybe he's not bi, but doesn't look like he hates you so please talk with him. No point in forcing him if he's in the closet, atleast he'll know that you love him. Try out whatever options you have then atleast you won't feel regret later in life. highschool crush is something which always stays within so give your best and don't give up, but make yourself mentally ready to suffer the blow if that time ever comes. have a good day, don't forget to think bout your crush
I am sorry, in my perspective this manga showing a BIG fuck of Toxic Relationship, it is obvious they love for each other but going through all that bullshit is just bad for any type of relationship. Basically, NOTHING good from this type of relationship, Kyouchi remind me of my uncle so much the way he dealt everything with my Aunt so NAIVELY and SELFISHLY and IMMATURELY.
So if you're a person who in relationship and have the same mindset as those two, try to change it and don't think about it too much and let your love burning up by itself and don't deceive other, feeling is something naturally appeared as well as love. I think the problem of why Kyouchi and Imagase relationship WILL NEVER work out bc of the fact they dont communicate very well and dont convey their feelings very well, which is one of the main reason many relationship these days ain't working out.
I really adore this manga and I rate it 5/5, but I hate how they make that LOVE is Divine Punishment and make people like me who single became very pessimistic of love. Love supposed to be something that make you happy and felt LOVED when the whole world hate you. So for one last time, if you having relationship like those two fuckhead, It's NOT love when both of you just hurting each other. As realistic this may be, dont follow their path of love.
I am sorry that it is so long XD
Btw, just wanna add, if people say that LOVE like those two are realistic and it's life, then It's also realistic for you try to find better person that are actually at least ADMIT that he/she love you
It's always better to have a pessimistic view about love than be blindly optimistic about it. Romanticism has ruined love a long time ago and I bet it's one of the reasons why plenty of people are unhappy today. What I liked about this manga is like it's a realistic journey of a couple struggling to get out of the chains of so-called romantic love that hurt them so deeply (esp. Imagase and his expectations) and into a more pessimistic-realistic view of "I don't know what the future brings but at this moment it feels so right to stay with you. And if it doesn't work, I'll just watch you walk away with a smile on my face knowing that I did what I could". This is the beauty of the narrative.
Yeah, Imagase and Kyouichi are not for each other. In fact, nobody are for each other. There is no "right" person. We humans are so vastly different from each other that no two piece match perfectly. Romanticism dictates that there is that one person out there somewhere which we'll have to find, marry and then everything else would fall into place. This dangerous notion sometimes lead people into switching partners rapidly or divorce at a drop of a hat. Love doesn't work that way. Love is embracing uncertainty. In that way, Love is indeed "Divine Punishment". It is only brave to admit that. I love how this manga wrapped into the characters' eventual realisation of this.
Romantcism ruins romantic love. Pessimism saves it.
