moody_bish's manga / #Living together(3)

It's funny but the characters except Hino, the protagonist, isn't fleshed out. Sure, Hino is a gay who went for an all boys school to find love then he meets his type in the house he was made to live in. He meets Aki (his type), Haru (the mischievous brother), and the delinquent who had the gap moe and became Hino's friend. First, Aki is made to be this perfect character. He had his moments, like blushing or recognizing his sudden feelings, but he seemed off... And then Haru had his spotlight of teasing!/seducing Hino but doesn't appear after all that. Like... He was just there for Hino to say that it's Aki he likes and that's it. Then the delinquent friend was just there for him to study for Aki... In the end, even Aki seems to be just a prop for Hino to make his fantasies a reality. (like, everyone were just props instead of individual characters interacting with Hino)

Im just glad that same sex marriage is legal for some countries. I hope more would be open to it because in the end of the day, it's about being commendable parents regardless of sex/gender. But seriously though... I didnt need to know that the author is a shotacon sigh

Yuu is close with Hatahiko while the latter felt detached because he is a child outside of the remarriage. When his outburst caused his coming out, he left for Tokyo and never went back home. 8 years later, Yuu goes to Tokyo for university in hopes of meeting Hatahiko again. He realized that he had a budding romantic interest for Hatahiko. However, Hatahiko rejects him. In Yuu's attempt to change his mind, he diligently learned housechores and numerous ways to be independent, even looking for a new apartment after freeloading at Hatahiko's house. When Yuu witnessed Hatahiko and his ex, he realizes that maybe Hatahiko simply saw him as a child and tried to give up. Alone with thoughts, Hatahiko realized how much Yuu's smiles and warmth saved him and being away from Yuu made him lonelier.
