I'm kinda sad that their relationship seemed to have stayed in the "sex friends" category eventhough they clearly loved eachother. And I was hoping they would explain why Toua felt like he was broken. But I really enjoyed reading this author's works, this is no exception!! I loved it
I reread this and I still stand with my previous statement, but it's clear that they are actually dating/seeing eachother exclusively, but not putting a label on it to avoid pressure. They're very openly displaying affection, but there's still room for skepticism as well. Jirou is constantly watching what he says. Although they're acting as though they are in love, Jirou can't outwardly express in words, his love for Toua, because Toua would leave otherwise. It's clear he has a fear of commitment, or feels like it's a strain on relationships to put a label on it. But Jirou makes him feel secure enough that it doesn't even have to be labeled for him to know they love eachother
