I think this volume is quite nice. In the end it's normal to deal with this kind of thing: the difficulty and embarrassment of physical contact, wanting to appear perfect in front of the person we like, etc.
The only negative for me was the cousin. Above all, he is of an absurd immaturity, the fact that he is 16/17 years old doesn't excuse him. Secondly, he is very selfish. He sees nothing except what he can do for himself. Thirdly he's in love with Ayase?! They grew up together as cousins and are actually also related by blood. I am honestly speechless ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Honestly on the one hand I can understand Nori's fear. Sho has always been only with women so the fear of not actually being liked is human. But I can understand up to a certain point. I didn't like the bartender's speech.
"Make him like you so much so he won't go back (women)."
There is a constant denial of bisexuality, particularly in Japanese manga. It's normal to discover even in your thirties that you can also be attracted to another gender that isn't necessarily the opposite one to yours. Not for this Sho's feelings are less valid.
It's like being afraid to date someone who has had other partners before. It's normal for there to be afraid, but that doesn't mean that this person can't truly be in love with you.
The only upsetting this about this whole series keep being the cousin. I'm sorry but I can't with his ass. First he confesses to Ayase and kisses him, then he criticises him bc Ayase likes Sota and wants to embrace him?
Can't he just shut up and ho to Tokyo?
┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Ikr he needs some slaps or punch from ayase for real
You know it would be hillarious if the author pair The cousin with Rui the blonde friend lmao
I can already see the sunshine x moon trope
