Hirano IS in love with kagiura, this has already been established (since 29). Hirano doesn't feel just friendship for Kagiura—per Kagiura's own definition, it is love. Kagiura is and always has been special to Hirano in a way none of his other friends are. It is undeniably love. If it doesnt align with your own view of romantic love, so be it, but denying its presence because you yourself dont understand it is ridiculous. The whole theme of this manga is ABOUT love, how it can "look" different but is inevitably valid and REAL. Hirano didnt have that whole conversation with Ichinose just for yall to invalidate him AGAIN.
It is an incredibly reductive view on relationships and how people are different to say that because he doesnt like kissing, it isnt love or its gonna fail. The general consensus here is that Hirano is aroacespec, someone who does not have much romantic or sexual desire, and who also may be uncomfortable with certain kinds of touching to a degree, or who does not view them in romantic/sexual contexts as others do. CLEARLY though, Kagiura is special in this way too because he does desire to touch him in a way he doesnt for anyone else. Hes okay with hugging Kagiura but we never see him hug others OBVIOUSLY because it's an action hes specifically comfortable with with the guy he loves. Same with how he feels about Kagiura being new and unique. The desire to see him. The way Kagiura helps him focus. The way he feels at ease in his presence. Wants to make him happy etc. These things may not look like love the way you see it but undoubtedly are. Hirano loves Kagiura and believes so himself. Kisses be damned. Not to mention, sexuality, comfort levels and everything are fluid. He doesnt desire it and dislikes it now, he may warm up to it BUT even if he doesnt, that doesnt make his feelings any "lesser".
He just needs to navigate the overlap in their feelings, hes said that. The overlap is where they are the same. He already knows they are the same in that they love each other, and here some of yall are truly believing his doubt that they cant somehow make it work since he doesnt wanna kiss. REALLY? Like you cant tell me yall missed the point of 28-31, its been way too long for yall to be playing these games.
I'm sorry if im being aggressive but im truly tired of the way Hirano is being invalidated. He wants to be with Kagiura. He loves Kagiura. These are things he fully believes and wants. Whether that will "work" or not... theyre teenagers. I think, like any teenage relationship, it depends. But please dont just ignore what you dont understand. Its very important you at least acknowledge these things

k let us begin I'm unsure of the context of hermaphrodite here but they are refering with someone with both male and female genetalia which we would typically call bisexual ( in the medical field has nothing to do with their sexuality) and if we are talking inter sex it's where they present some sort of intermediate between both gonads such as ovatestis they are.while Hermaphrodite is generally used to determine of changing one sex to the other which is incredibly prominent in fish and yes! in that context they can reproduce. those who are intersex are the only ones sterile as far as I know so I believe here they are pointing to them being bisexual... Meaning yes they can reproduce with both of their genitals. They can get pregnant/get someone pregnant. That is found usually in plants as far as mammals go I'm unsure I have studied that. But with the direction of how the story is going I'm sure someone is bound to get pregnant at some point. Hope to see you in the next chapter with more information to share
