Am I the only one here thinking that the meeting between Yumi and Hayashida is not necessary? I mean, they already knew their problems and they did clean break up, from my point of view.
Even if Hayashida tells Yumi about his problems from his past, I dont think it will change anything. Yumi accepted his behaviour, his abuse to him bcos Yumi knew there was something wrong with Hayashida and the only way to help him was being a sandsack to relieve his anger and anxiety.
Maybe you think that Hayashida still have a regret about his past, not only about Yumi but about everything else. The one who has problem here is only Hayashida. But Yumi already forgave him. And Shuuna loves him unconditionally.
The most important thing is that they are happy with their couple now.
In my opinion it's not only Hayashida's fault but also Yumi's because he just accepted everything that Hayashida did to him. Never complained or said that he was hurting or something and in the end it was Hayashida who told him to leave because he understood that he was in the wrong. They are both in the wrong, but this is only my opinion you are free to think whatever you want.
them meeting up will allow hayashida to comes to terms with his guilt and move on without the regret and yumi will get to see that hayashida is okay now. a big part of yumi not leaving hayashida sooner was because he still loved and cared for hayashida even with the abuse, hayashida had to make yumi leave him after all.
even if yumi is okay now even without meeting hayashida i think it's still okay for them to meet. it'll be like that feeling you get when you come across an old flame from your youth, you moved on a long time ago but it is still nice to see them doing well now. you may have thought you put it all behind you but meeting again brought back some nostalgic feelings. this way they can both let go of their past and move on.
I know the angst for chapter 7 and a lot of readers want them to stay together. You can cry for them but why not thinking about their respective partner? It's not fair for them to be treated like burden. I prefer sad ending for Yuu and Asahi, it's more real that way. Even if they have to be together, I don't want them to hurt their partner that way.
i mean, if we're really thinking about their respective partner, what about what they want? isn't it unfair for them too? they should be with with the people who love them, not people who stay with them for societal pressure. anyways aside from that, i think the mangaka left the ending vague so they could leave it up to our own interpretation
I actually agree with you.
If we really wanted to think about the other partners, then it is unfair for them either way. If Yuu and Asahi stayed with their partners then they can't give them the unconditional love they deserve as their love has a societal pressure as stated (And with their reunion, strong emotions have resurfaced ten fold from their actions). And if Yuu and Asahi left to be together, the women would be heart broken and problems can arise. But I guess it depends, have a half love or broken heart.
I totally agree with you. I happen to know a couple kinda similar to Yuu and Asahi. Both married and have their own life. After they married, they still seeing each other for about 2 years until they realized they need to "grow up". They broke up and one of them move to another city. They know it's their own fault, and even though our country is homophobic country, they can simply be "single" forever and continue their secret relationship. Yet they choose to married and have kids.
For me, that kind of action is simply bullshit and coward. If you can leave the person you loved because pressure from society or other aspects, it means you're not really love that person.
And as for wives, I've seen many couples that have "friendship love" or kinda "family love" even though they're married couples. Heck, even my parents don't have the "real love" vibe. LOL XD
What is real love anyway?
As long as they care for each other, protect each other, planning future together, respect each other, that'll make happy life for sure :)
P.S I'm not trying to offend anyone here. We have our own opinions and I respect other people's opinions.
True, to run and hide is cowardly and can bring problems. I think Asahi and Yuu could have continued their lives and fallen in love with their partner. But I feel sorry for the women because the guys look like they could have an affair now that they have met up again. Not saying they shouldn't be able to fall in love and it's good that they could find each other again. But their actions can cause harm to their partners and it's kinda unfair for them.
But hey, that might not happen at all, like the story just ended in a way where we readers can view it as we like. We can give it any ending we want. xD
I don't care about senpai and his lover and mom-like guy. I just hope none would die again in this story ┗( T﹏T )┛
