I was putting off reading this before because I wasn't exactly in the best place to encounter a homophobic narrative from Mi-Ok (especially in a piece of work that has so far been very healing for me), and as it turns out, she's much worse. I personally would much rather face outright homophobia than what she's bringing to the table. She empathized about being "different," yet offered nothing but opposition and hostility. Heck, there wasn't even an actual connection between their struggles. + No one was even asking for her approval and support in the first place. It's so infuriating lmao.
The two MCs are way better people than me because I swear I wouldn't have let her go that easily.

Exactly what I was thinking. You put it in much nicer words than me cause I was cussing that stupid girl out. Like girl, You are broke with a grandma who has dementia and parents who hate ur ass. Worry about yourself! She’s projecting how miserable she feels onto the first minority she saw. Maybe it’s so she can feel better about her situation knowing someone else may have it worse.
People like this would probably be so frustrating irl. Like you don’t think queer people don’t already know what they would face by being different? Also like wtf is that logic? “Your life won’t be easy. I know how it feels to be different so I won’t support you??”
Literally call me slur and get it over with so I don’t have to listen to ur sob story.

I truly feel for those who are rooting for Kiyoto, it makes absolute sense as every character on here deserves happiness since none of them are inherently evil to deserve the opposite.
However, I like and prefer the idea of Touji and Yachiro getting together. As someone who's foolish enough to believe in the concept of soulmates or something close to that, the story began with showing how they were bound for each other and I really truly want that for them. First love end game rarely ever happens in real life, especially one that is as pure as Touji and Yachiro's.
I feel bad for Kiyoto, I feel for him, especially Yachiro's wife. But it was clear that none of them were completely happy, Yachiro especially. With that said, I think that's one of the author's main points in creating this story, as humans, we're bound to break other people's hearts including our own before we find happiness. It happens all the time. Whether one should be held accountable for causing such is subjective and that's because how complex and layered love is.
Apart from that, and how the pairings have become so divisive with the spoiled ending (I don't blame anyone dropping this, I probably would have dropped it too if I learned Touji and Kiyoto was end game.) The art is amazing, the pacing is wonderful too and is such a fresh way of portraying romance. Wish there were more updates.
I just really adore the way both of them were blessed with extremely good friends
