Okay now I'm tired of this whole Yuki-Naruse relationship dynamic. At first the story was fluffy and there seemed to be growth in both of their characters but now the relationship feels like thin ice which is gonna break any moment instead of feeling stable. I know that Hakamada was kind of annoying at first but if you think about it, he was always the one who was there for Yuki or gave her the push and like her friend said felt more "genuine" than Naruse. He feels much more of a realistic choice for Yuki but this is a shojo manga so what can u expect
Here's my guess after rereading the whole thing :
I think the CEO scouted shige by blackmailing him using their photos which could've ended shin's career if it was leaked to the press especially since shin was a rookie actor at the time. That's why there was a phrase in one of the chapters "Shige entered the entertainment world to protect shin" and also maybe the reason why shige isn't interested in acting. If this is true it explains why shige suddenly joined an agency and why shin thinks there's a secret to why shige suddenly became an actor. It also explains why the ceo doesn't want shige to fade out as an entertainer by gradually losing the public's interest since he can't blackmail him anymore if that happens. This is what I've deduced for now. What do u guys think ?
Is that old man the ceo of shige's company ? If so then is he holding blackmail material in case shige wants to leave the entertainment world? Because I saw in previous chapters that the ceo didn't want shige to try to even think about quitting as an actor ... that old man is definitely sus!! I think he's using their relationship as leverage to make profit with shige's face... I just hope he won't ruin their relationship

So I was curious about the mysterious brother and my fujoshi brain told me that there's probably a prequel to this and guess what I found !! The author released a manga called "kami ato ni kiss" before this and the seme in the cover looks real similar to the ML here. It's mentioned that he uses a fake name and works in the office in this manga and just like that the cover I found looked like it was an office romance and the the name is also different. I'm pretty sure thats the prequel to this but I might be wrong. But nobody has translated it yet and I couldn't find raws either
