Nothing Really About The Manga Itself

i agree! i appreciate the sentiment and still find it cute but the phrase "i need you" makes me a bit uncomfortable because it makes me feel like they're becoming dependent of their partner and i think there's a difference between depending on your partner and being dependent of them in your life, yk? idk if i'm getting my point across, i'm not very good at explaining myself,,

Oh don't worry I gotchu!(づ￣ ³￣)づ I Need You is a very co-dependent phrase, implying that there's something really toxic and unhealthy in your relationship whereas I Want You is the I Love You, I Choose You version of things, amirite?

Idk to me, want is like desire to have something like when you buy stuff just because you want it because it looks good/interesting but NEED is like, you just need it. It's something you just HAVE TO HAVE. Y'know what I mean? I honestly like the word "need" more than "want"

But, no one actually truly needs another person, you get what I'm saying? Everyone we know and love will one day leave us and we gotta move cause that's just life. Despite knowing that, saying I Want You means you're acknowledging that future loss but you'll still choose them. It implies agency, while I Need You takes away agency and just seems like something forced and inescapable. But, ofc we all have our own preferences so you liking I Need You is totally fair! For me, I Want You is just more impactful, that's all.

I'm just hoping that it's a translation error but kajdsgafsgskdjfghs(￣∇￣")

But i think Akira says "I need you" because he feels lonely without the other guy, like he knows he loves his seme, and now that he has found someone to pass his time with he doesnt want to lose him and its an important part in his life. Idk if i got my point through, i hope i did

I did get what you meant, but I still stand by my comment which says that no one actually needs another person. We humans are social creatures who need the company of others, but it doesn't have to be anyone in particular. 'I Need You' is just a false statement, whereas 'I Want You' is true and much more romantic imo.

I also get you, but I think it depends in the way u use the word, or the meaning you give it, imo. But I also agree witg u
