I want Shirotani to get better enough that he can actually enjoy being with Kurose and I want Kurose to be so happy about this that he doesn't have to push him anymore.
Based on the story so far, I feel like that's a long shot, but I would like to believe they could find a way to be happy and healthy together.
If they find that crazy bitch who screwed Shirotani up to begin with and tell her to bleep off, that would be a bonus.

Don't get me wrong, I love Souchi's long hair, but I have always wondered why someone who is allegedly so homophobic would keep such a girly hairstyle.
It seems to me like he'd get it cut so that he looked more atypically masculine.
Not that I want him to; I've just found that odd ever since I first began reading this story.

It's not necessarily girly some guys like their hair long I guess

Good point! But I don't really see him as feminine besides the hair and him playing uke lol

Its not girly. Its manly like a samurai. http://i.stack.imgur.com/7HDiy.jpg

Hmmm...Not sure that is an authentic samurai hairstyle.
I do like senpai's long hair, but I also think it makes him look feminine. In the scene where Morinanga was going to cut his hair I thought he looked especially girly.
I have seen some long hair that looks super masculine either because of the style or the person, but I would think senpai's personality would compel him to have a more typically manly hairdo.
At the same time, I can't even imagine how he would look with short hair.

TBH tho its mostly an American idea that feminine=gay. That beefy butch stuff isnt too popular in Japan.

well long hair = sexy on guys , even more when they r goodlooking . i dunno why u think long hair is girly...i know some manly guys with long hair too. and there r indians (native american for ex.).

I agree on some men long hair is sexy and can be masculine, but on sempai it seems feminine to me.
I simply find it curious that he leaves is long, instead of choosing a more stereo-typically masculine hairstyle.
I really like his hair and can't even imagine what he would look like with short hair, but I still find myself wondering why...

Cultural differences at play. The guys Americans call girly and feminine are not regarded as such in Japan. In Japan he'd just be seen as an ikemen (cool good looking guy).

Woo, can't believe no one comments about the special chapter where Morinaga suggests Senpai to trim the hair. Senpai is very sensitive around his ear and hair part, and can't stand to be touched. So, there Morinaga assumes that's why senpai keeps his hair long. Senpai says he hates to go to hair salon, and usually ask his sister trim it.
There!! That's why... I'm sure.

Think about it. Senpai is openly homophobic. He hates gays yet the writer gave him features society would stereotype as being a homosexual. His lean figure, great hair, no relationship with women (that's got to do with his personality). The mangaka is breaking stereotypes. Who would make the homosexual "appear" feminine?
Look at Morinaga. Nothing about him points at him being gay. He's friendly, sweet and all in all pretty normal. Yet the man is openly gay without any shame whatsoever.
The writer gives a very clear message. There is no need to judge and give "defining" features to an individual to label them. Interesting isn't it?
This manga came out 2004. What a powerful message.

Yes, I agree with you 100%.
And I want to add this:

I seldom see a guy a with long hair look feminine. For the most part long hair is seen on punk rockers, hippies, and bikers. The feminine guys tend to be clean shaven with short hair. And with the exception of like drag queens I've yet to meet a gay man with long hair. I realize there's a culture gap here but....where are getting the idea that hair length is linked to femininity is this maybe a cultural thing?

Do you remember him saying that he cannot stand someone else touching his head? And then morigana proceeds to offer to cut his bang, and then he learns that senpai is extra sensitive around his ears. i think it was an extra.
I believe that's why prefers his hair long so he won't have to let someone touch his head.

Hmm, some of my hippie and metal head acquaintances are gay ... and their hair is pretty long, except for those who go for the buzz-cut look like skinheads. I don't think there is a simple "one look fits all" for gay dudes. (Also, there are lots of natives who wear their hair long as part of their warrior status, and I would never dream of calling them girly.) Yes, you always run into metrosexual types who want to look like they stepped off the catwalk, but I think gays look like the kinds of guys they are attracted to, and that runs the gamut.

Don't have many gay friends do you? The fact that so many people on here are stereotyping a group of people is ridiculous. It doesn't matter if a man is gay or not when it comes to his hair. Just like a woman with really short hair doesn't have to be a lesbian. I've known plenty of gay and straight guys that are well groomed with long hair and I've known plenty with short hair. Not all gay men wear designer clothes, perfect hair, and tweezed eyebrows. Some straight men do all of those things and even get manicures to make their nails look nice for business. Every person on this planet is different and everyone has their own personal taste when it comes to clothes, hair, scent, products, makeup, music, movies, tv shows, books, clubs/bars, cars, ect. You cannot fit a group of people into one neat little category. Also Senpai is so damn gay for Morinaga it's not even funny. Senpai is most likely pansexual.

No matter how long they are together Kanou continues to treat Ayase more like a possession that a human being. It's incredibly disturbing. Even his acts of kindness end up having some ulterior motive designed to force Ayase to stay with him. Whenever Kuba speaks to Ayase he seems genuinely concerned about him and committed to respecting him, which puts him way ahead of a man who sexually assaults him in front of other people like it's nothing.

This seriously needs a tragedy tag because it is super dark.
I feel like people should be warned so they can try to prepare themselves emotionally for what is to come.
Also, it seems the the first story is missing an ending. It just kind of stopped with no real resolution, just a bunch of open questions.
I would also add a tragedy tag.
I actually think it's a good story because it makes you think, but at the same time people should have more warning about what they are getting into when reading it.
