Off topic, but I wanted to point out how quite creepy it is that literally every member in the Gotoudas' group is sexually attracted to Aki and doesn't even try to hide it. In fact, sometimes their adoration turns into actual sexual harassment, like making weird remarks about his body, his sex life, or even spying on him at any opportunity in a perverted way... Like I still remember this time when some of them were spying on him in the shower. And what bothers me is that this is just overlooked because it is portrayed as a gag...
Now I thought at least Tako was different but apparently I was wrong.
I'm sorry, no hate for the story, which I love, but I'm just so tired of this cliché of the rich and powerful parents meddling in their (grown-ass) children's love life, used only to move the story forward by creating suspense... Honestly it's just irritating! I mean, can't it just be about the couple with their personal joys and sorrows since we are talking about two grown men living free in the modern time?? Parents can have and express their opinion of course but once the children become adults they have absolutely no right to interfere like that, imposing condition and everything for their partners... Even if they think they are acting for their good, they have to understand that they are not their property! People have to make their own choices and go their own way. A parent should just support you and be there for you no matter what, period. I just don't understand why authors often throws in these unnecessary parents' dramas instead of developing something more intriguing...
Oh dang I'm very happy for them and that the angst is over but it feels surreal the way everything's been resolved, like the father suddenly changed a mindset he's had for 40 years and which has always been the cause of the eternal conflict between him and his child with a 2 mins chat
