I'm very much hoping that Heeno actually remembers Aerak because I feel as if even if he did lose weight and grew up, he should still be memorable. My theory is that Heeno recognized Aerak from the back of his neck when he was leaving the student council room (from when Aerak used to tend his garden and Heeno would pass by often. Aerak was facing away from him and bending down, making his nape visible) and is trying to fix their relationship from the past. If that's true, I don't know why he isn't revealing that he remembers him, but I'm hoping that Heeno had a liking towards him from the very beginning (when Aerak was chubby) and doesn't just like him for looks, which is so superficial. Maybe back then he lashed out at Aerak because of something going on in his life (I wouldn't be surprised because characters in manga always lash out at one another because of certain issues and then they feel terrible later, but are too weak to face their victim). Their relationship right now is mentally (and probably physically) challenging for the both of them.
If anyone has any information on whether or not this is yaoi or more likely shounen ai, please tell me. I know the tags don't mention either (except "romance"), but for the time being I'm most interested in Kim x Chase because this story would turn out to be a very great BL.
I actually doubt it's going to be a yaoi or BL, it's currently up to chapter 30 and both Chase and Kim have female love interests at the moment. There is also always a scene somewhere of one of them saying they're not gay. I seriously believe it's a manga of men who just love heels, but who knows things can always change ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Don't worry guys, it's marked as incomplete. We'll get more stories on the other characters soon~ ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ I'm personally hoping for more Aerik and the blonde guy (can't remember his name- Len? Ken?) as well as Dunno and Kang, though that might be sad, and I don't really want more sad parts. I got enough of it from Yuri and Jaerim! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I agree with you on that, and I can't wait for later updates because Heeno's and *Aerak's (I KEEP ON MESSING UP HIS FRICKIN NAME) feels the most unfinished. I just want Aerak to be happy and for Heeno to not only love him for his looks (*MAYBE SPOILER???* however, my theory is that Heeno already knows that Aerak was that boy from a while ago from something that caught my attention, though that may not be true ╥﹏╥).
The last time this manga was updated was in July of 2015... My mind is telling me it probably won't be updated any time soon (maybe never), but I really hope that's not true. Either way, I'll hang in there because I binge-read this to see Tenyuu and Mairu together, and gosh-darnit I'm gonna stick around until they do! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ If anyone has information on updates, please inform me! Thanks~ (please no spoilers, and if you're going to spoil anything then write "SPOILER" above it. Thank you for being considerate (▰˘◡˘▰))
I wish she had completed chapters one and two. I feel empty and I'm not used to yaoi ending in such a way. They usually end with the couple happy and strong. But I also like it because it reflects real life. Not all love stories have to have a certain end or be happy. But I feel like there's a whole in my heart. Thank you for being original and giving me these emotions Komatsu sensei. <3
