So Eiji cheated on Tsubasa for 2.5 yrs? 2.5 freaking yrs? And zero regret? WTF?
I did not read him say sorry even once. And the excuse to sleep with a prostitute is so lame. If u say u love the lil guy... accord ‘love’ the respect it deserves. When u casually sleep with someone other than your lover.. you are disrespecting the love u claim to have. Love is incomplete without this respect. Love not only requires complete submission of mind & soul but body as well. You cannot claim to love someone and casually keep fucking someone else. It’s gross violation of this ‘love’. This just triggered me. This story would have been so gud without the cheating. And Tsubasa just forgave him? ... on the contrary wanted to sleep with him asap. I understand Eiji wanting to not force Tsubasa.. but that doesn’t give you the right to cheat. If sex was so necessary... then don’t go out with a kid. And when you choose to date the kid... wait for him to be ready & of legal age to have sex... talk it out with him... masturbate... so many freaking options.. and yet the seme chooses to prioritises to satisfy his sexual needs the most. This is not love... nope.

Ah, finally the confession. What I liked.. is that the confession wasn’t planned. It happened organically. I am happy for both of them. Alex acknowledges his mistakes & has changed & they both love eachother. That is the takeaway from this episode... giving one more chance. Mistakes happen & love wins.
Honestly I teared up during the confession. I am invested in both the characters from the beginning. I can understand both their standpoints & empathise with the situation and the hell they put eachother through. All I care about at this point is, that they are happy together. That’s all that matters.
I am very pleased with how Shinobu dealt with the cheating seme. He was strong, not weak willed at all. That’s exactly how u deal with a cheating scoundrel. Leave them behind as dust. Usually mangas have the cheated still together with the cheater & make them look so weak and making it look like love. They accept the situation they are in & continue the relationship even though they are still being cheated on. Shinobu looked strong & I liked his characters ability to deal with a setback. I always like strong characters who don’t bent to manipulation.
And it was icing on the cake that President Tachibana, the cheater, came running back to Shinobu with his tail between his legs, weak & crumbling. He lost at his own game. How pathetic he looked when he realised that he was the one discarded when he wanted to ace his game. I loved it. Very satisfying. I don’t mind they got back together coz he learned his lesson.
I agree!
