I know it wasn't the perfect solution to his one-sided love. But y'all need to chill a bit. This kind of logic isn't actually that bizarre. In many parts of Asia, many people are bound to fulfil "duty" to their families. I know the seme's logic was like a fucked ip version of it. But yeah. that's just how culture and social norms affect people's decision.
What am I saying. It's 3am. I should be asleep by now

I posted this too soon. My phone keeps changing the parameters for the touch sensitive areas.
Anyway, I wanted to make the following correction: I am posting this to explain the downvote and make amends for it, if you're okay with that*; I agree, after having finally read your post, properly (so my apologies!):
I also wanted to address another point that some of those other posters have made as well, though: that we aren't sure if the woman married him for similar reasons to his, too, either. Nor are we sure if Hisamitsu is actually gay. I know that Toki probably is because he never felt sexual attraction to girls and fell in love with Hisamitsu, another man. However, just because Hisamitsu loves Toki doesn't necessarily mean he's gay.

If you don't like him, stop compromising and leading him on. If you don't like him, let him go so he can move on.
Chapter 3 is coming. That means...CONFLICT!
Every arc of this manga follows a pattern
1- intro of timeline, summarize what happened since last volume. Remind readers that morinaga is still hopelessly devoted to his one-sided love.
2- emerging conflict because senpai still thinks sex with his kouhai is okay no homo.
3- conflict and heartbreak because poor morinaga has feelings (surprise, senpai!)
4- solution to problem introduced usually includes jealousy and guilty feelings
5- solution applied (aka...i guess it's okay to have sex with morinaga so he won't run away. No homo) + make-up sex
6- epilogue of arc...most of the time it's morinaga finding a tiny buterfly of hope in the possibility of a healthy normal happy relationship, only for senpai to crush it at the last page.
You're welcome

I'm not even concerned at how their relationship started. Okay, there were some rape involved at the start but they're past that. Morinaga's repented of that. Souichi finally started accepting Morinaga and they're finally meeting halfway. But I'm just saying...the arcs just have the same pattern. They agreed to meet in the middle but they keep on stepping back and stepping forward and back again.
Those touches and hugs and care. I see you boii
They are not dating. They are a married couple.
Keep up !
