The paradox of this story is probably that in the past (in this manga) Akitora was worried about Uichi becoming bored with him but in the present (the sequel) it's actually Akitora the one who left Uichi alone.
... I just feel so sad for Uichi ╥﹏╥

Jealousy starts - the scenes with Reika and Hachi - years after the end of Yondaime. Reika was only in preschool in Yondaime after all. She's much older in Jealousy. The story has been on an extended flashback. So no, the 'present' story line is a sequel to Yondaime. We're just stuck in the past for a bit. I can only assume sensei will take us back to the present storyline at some point to develop the relationship between Rogi and Hachi.
99.9% sure that Rogi x Hachi will be end game.

So... Is this supposed to be a happy ending?
I mean, Fumi watched Watari being abused (they beat him up and sexually assaulted him damn!) And didn't do anything. No wait he did something, he RAN AWAY!!! Then he found him beat up again after being threatened and didn't do anything.
Oh let's not forget about the "friends", the one who enjoyed being with him. They threatened him, took money, beat him and took videos whils abusing him. And they behave as this is nothing and pretend to be friends again.
Really everyone just makes me so angry! At least Watari tried to become better while the friends and the seme didn't do a thing or did too much to be called human beings (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
Really author-san I love you art but this is really concealing cowards and evil people in a fake "happy ending". This is just behaving as if things didn't happen.
Please do something that is worth you high level of drawing...
Ahahahah i will never look at the ramen in the same way (≧∀≦)
