Uncle Pan is right but that doesn't make it any better. He knew how complicated things could turn out thanks to the age gap and yet he decided to continue because Zhong's feeling were more annoying to him. Wow, talk about a d*ck move.
So agree! Uncle didn't need to lead him on if that's what he was thinking since the beginning, I seriously want to kick him in the b**** for making him cry! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

Wow, it took me long enough to finally read this story. It's good! Way too good!
I am sorry but what internal conflict was having Jin for him to "need" Alex for reliance? If I had an answer maybe, just maybe, this volume would be more tolerable. As far as I know, the one who had a third party coming suddenly into his relationship while his partner was just messing around was Hamura. After that bed scene, Hamura had all the right to ditch Jin's ass but suddenly he being jealous just made Jin insecure about the relationship? Laughable.
I don't have any sympathy for Jin and Alex at all. Volume 3 was a horrible fanservice experience that clearly forgot about the previous chapters and the progression of the characters. I can't believe that nobody called up Jin, he is not a victim and somehow I am supposed to understand how his ""friendship"" works or why it matters. Alex is just straight up disgusting and creepy, almost like a stalker who is constantly waiting to make Hamura angry or f*ck Jin. Talking about Hamura... He was made into a fool all the story.
Damn, this was horrible. Don't care about what comes next because this totally destroyed any possible moment between the couple.
I don't think there's any action that Jin could take in volume four that would redeem all the shit he did and allowed to happen in this vol. I know Hamura and Jin are end game, but my guess is that their issues are never gonna be fully resolved and they'll just magically both end up happy in a relationship. imo, Hamura should should pack his bags and leave Jin.
Right? It almost made questioned if the author disliked Hamura or something because somehow, he is the one who has to grow up all the time. Jin was nothing like this in the first two volumes, he knew what he wanted and almost showed a decent level of maturity but with this mess? Totally impossible for me to find something good about him or the relationship. Big sigh.
Agreed 100%. I know that the author is gonna have them get together, but I can't help to think the toll it would take on Hamura's mental health. He matured so much, but now he's constantly stuck thinking he's not good enough. imo this can never be turned around to them having a healthy relationship.
Want to read a good arc about a third party who wants to persuade the protagonist into being his lover since he has known them for a long time and doesn't want them to suffer the same pain they did before with the same person, despite the current romantic relationship that has been built in the progress of the manga? Well, volume no. 3 of Zutto Kitto is no good for you. Alex is been handle so badly that he doesn't even look like a best friend, he looks more like a boyfriend. Jin doesn't have moral conflicts nor the idea of how inappropriate he is acting. Hamura is going to be, once again, the one who has to fight for the success of the relationship despite being rightly jealous.
Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, for example, has a similar arc with the same topics as this one but it's told so much better. It manages to get anxiety for the years that Takano wasn't in Onodera's life, the excitement of Onodera confirming that his love is so much stronger than he thought to the point that no other can compete and the shook of Nao's efforts to get his love across regardless of being one-sided. Zutto Kitto should learn, not to get the same final product but to produce equivalent emotions on what the story has told us. Disappointing.
Like your comment and agree. 10 points
Your comment made my day gosh your so convincing plus everything you said were all facts..! I love how you took time to fully understand sekaiichi hatsukoi and successfully made a comparison to this manga.
Really... the author should try to learn how to stick to the untoxic way of dealing relationships (not clichèd in any kind of way) but in their own way of course.
You deserve a million likes <3~~~
Aww OMG! Thanks! I was getting so mad reading this volume but when I started to see the plot in retrospect I was like- Wait, I swear I had read this storyline somewhere else.
Sekaiichi Hatsukoi is no way near to be perfect but the story knows its characters and never lets them do something irrational just for the sake of fanservice (which I think it's the case for Zutto Kitto). Both stories have so much in common and it amazes me how badly this author handles it in comparison to Nakamura.
I like toxic ways as a plot-device but the other volumes never suggested that this would be that type of thing. It looked more like "forgiving yourself" and "always be there for you", not "I'm about to cheat on my boyfriend and it's his fault" LOL (⊙…⊙ )
Haha, yes. Classic gym stories. Happens to me everytime!
I'm fucking crying over here
