WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS
I really liked the story, so im a bit confused about why there are so many negative comment lol. I think a lot of the scenarios really contributed to the story and growth of characters asa whole. But I feel like negatove comments are mostly bashing shunin for not being affectionate, being childish or about how he made the decision for her to go on the date without talking to her about it.
Well I think this story really depicts the fact that people love in different ways(and does it well too). shunins character is the type that expresses with his actions rather than words. Despite everything, he makes her breakfast every morning. I feel like the breakfast thing is a super big part of him showing "affection". Its something he's good at, something that he knows makes her happy (food lol), something he can do for her, and it's become part of their routine as a couple so I feel like it's kind if hidden. He takes care of her(paying for hospital fees, bringing her food, getting her the meat plushie). He knows she likes romantic things, and he knows she likes meat. So he takes her to the hot springs(makes an effort to do couple like things), and gets her a lot of meat(something she really really loves). Additionally, although he comments that she has gained weight he isnt toxic about it. Just teasing.
There are those old anime couples with a super grumpy grandpa, who still doesnt know how to say nice things like 50 years into their marriage, but shows their love in a different way. So I dont think it's fair to expect someone to suddenly become a better speaker, to become more straightforward and change their personality because they "grow up / mature". Like at his age unless something big happens, his personality wont change darastically. And I do think he shows affection in other way. The fact that it's so hard to recognize really loops back to the idea of showing love in different ways because it's not something commonly associated with sweet words or gifts.
Some might say well he proposed unromantically or something despite knowing how she is. Imo I think it was the kind of things that just hit him, the feeling of being so content and wanting to marry her that he straight up just asked.
Enough about hard to spot affection. When he "let her go on that date", while I do agree that the way he presented it was kinda messed up (like he just told her lol ur going on a date tomorrow, and as a result she feels unimportant and loses confidence in his feelings-which sets up later her slight inclination towards the CEO guy- which are all nice plot points so clap clap to author) , I dont think that it can be considered "making decisions for her". At the end of the day it's her decision. No matter what deal he made with someone else, she is not obligated to fulfill his deal. She could've said straight up "no I'm not going" and what could he have done about it? Like force her to go? Even when people say "he made the decision for her" the only thing he really did was Express that "I'm okay with u going on the date." Which is what upset her in the first place.
I also think its important to note that this scene is showing his growth in trust for shibata. At the beginning, the guy carrying her in made him upset, and he didnt want her to work with that guy. Basically shows he's insecure about the way she feels, since he feels jealous cuz he thinks she'll be snatched away. The fact that he went from THAT to having so much confidence in their bond that he wrote down that (basically) there was no way ceo guy could snatch her and being sorta okay with them going on a date(aka giving ceo an oppurtunity to shoot his shot) really shows a jump. Arguably, he was still worried but he was waiting for her to come back to him. So that point was probably there as a "show of growth in trust" and didnt force shibata to do anything that she didnt actually agree to(she could've said no).
YEAH EXACTLY! AND I REALLY LIKED HOW HE NEVER REALLY TELLS HER "YOU'RE FAT, LOSE WEIGHT" BUT RATHER JUST TELLS HER TO KEEP EATING AND IT COMES OFF AS HE DOESN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT HER GAINING WEIGHT OR WHAT NOT AND WILL LOVE HER REGARDLESS OF HER BODY SHAPE DUDE, I SAW THE SUMO WRESTLER PART AS JUST TEASING NOT REALLY TELLI NG HER TO LOSE WEIGHT
sorry for the all caps, I was too excited, though this manga uses a lot of screwed up plot devices, in the end it ends up being hella cute so I really like that
Ngl this comment section is like the nicest I've ever seen lmao. Like ppl are like "wow I dont really like her" and then ppl in the comment section like basically say "consider this...." and then the person who made the comment actually doesn't cuss them out for saying something that disagrees with their comment ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ yall are chill, keep being awesome (o(
I feel like, while it had some open holes and confusing parts, it was like pretty cool up until like ch 80 something. Had a strong start, but dropped off a little cuz of all the holes. Except things got kind of illogical around check 80s. Like she's still stuck between two guys when she's clearly had MULTIPLE tearful rejections towards one of them. By the 2nd time, I was sure they were like never gonna talk friendly to each other. LOW AND BEHOLD. it happens. And it makes no sensE, and it was completely put of nowhere. it's like the is deliberately trying to nonsensically prolong the 2 guys pinning over one girl scenario. When in reality this really could've taken a cuter, more logical turn if she just rejected that dude. It really didn't need to be like this...... (/TДT)/
At this point, I don't know what's going on anymore.
I just skinmrd over all the bl that happened on that page CUZ I'M SO DISAPPOINTED IN HIMMMMMM. Maybe it's just me and its cuz I'm a romantic that I think what he did is "cheating". Idk? He confessed, said he'd be the dad and all his feelings are finally out, and HE LOW KEY GOES AND MESSES WITH SOMEONE ELSE. LIKE BROSKI. SHE JUST ASKED U TO P R O V E your LOVE and you go and does stupid stuff like that. Idk, whenever I see that it kinda stuff in Manga (the whole idea where the player likes someone and low key goes for them but still is messing around) it feels like the guy is insincere about it? I mean I get that there are various reasons why they do that, like oh they're trying to move on and they gave up on it and such and I get that, at least yall aren't together, and the character doesn't plan to be or something) HOLY COW DOES HIS FEELINGS JUST FEEL FAKE. Maybe its cuz he just doesn't feel like kissing is a big deal but like ??? U know he likes u WHY U DO THAT AND HAVE UR DREAM GIRL WHAT MORE DO U WANT.
Apparently u want to kiss other ppl.

IKR. I’m frustrated cause if it were under different circumstances I wouldn’t be against Cory and Leo being together, and maybe would actually think they would make a cute couple but looking at the chapter I feel uncomfortable and dirty. Like why author did you have to show me the cute backstory to Leo’s feelings for Mia and then add this. He literally was complaining about how Mia questions his feelings but then is totally cool with making out with his friend. He claims that he’s in love with her and even goes so far to take care of her kid, but he doesn’t follow up. Cory is another thing, I don’t remember exactly but didn’t he have someone else he was interested in? Even if he didn’t it just seems to me that he just wants to feel good and take advantage of the situation. I understand if being in love with someone will make them want to take every chance they get, but it just feels so wrong. I don’t line characters like that. It feels desperate. Cory is rubbing me the wrong way especially after Leo was talking about his problems and feelings and all Cory thought was: “let’s get naughty~!” I’m a fan of BL but I have my limits and have standards to a healthy relationship.
