I agree. I was really proud of him when he said he’s going to move forward and ended things with the seme. When he said that it’s not that he can’t move on but he didn’t want to move on, I thought that was brave of him. I get why he’s so attached to the seme coz no. 1 his first love, 2, for some reason they have a connection in terms of their past experiences. Daichi has never been selfish in his life because he thinks he doesn’t have the right to, but when he met the seme he realized many things about himself and learned from them. So I thought his reaction was normal. I didnt approve of him chasing after the seme in the early chapters but I think it was important for him to face the seme and come into terms with himself and whatever they had coz I really think the connection they had was deep and irreplaceable so you can’t blame him to be in denial at first.
I agree ( ；∀；) he's forgiving and wanting to move forward, I'm so proud of our baby boy
How about actually engaging with those comments instead of labelling everyone who disagrees with you as wrongheaded?
And yes, the uke is an idiot and and a doormat and not just for forgiving the seme so easily, but for everything else leading up to that: trying to extort information out of dangerous people without a backup plan, accepting drinks from strangers at a shady sex club, unable to think of any better recourse than to pretty please ask the guy who scammed him to just give back the cash, not to mention a general lack of forethought overall. We’ll also just ignore the absurdity of a seasoned con man falling for an idiot kid after two conversations and a fake one-night stand.
As for the present, it’s clear Daichi hasn’t really grown in resolve at all and is still being toyed with. Otherwise, why the hell would he just not give the package to the seme at the prison gate, dump him, and then fuck off right on the spot? Instead we get extended scenes of Daichi chasing the guy throughout the city and only managing to catch up when the seme decided to put an end to the farce and park his ass down on a park bench.
As for Daichi’s token decision to end things, that all gets immediately rendered pointless when they inevitably get back together in the next chapter. Because the moment he gets any sort of push back or attention from the seme, his resolve will crumble. The only way to have Daichi meaningfully grow as a character is for them not to end up together in the end, and for him to move on. Since that won’t happen, Daichi remains a doormat and an idiot to the very end.
The comments after this chapter are so fucking annoying. Like, did ya'll even read? I'm honestly proud of Daichi. When he first met the seme, he was a naive college kid, but I think he really has grown. Holding onto his feelings and still being grateful for the fact that the seme saved him, despite the other things he did, doesn't make him and idiot; it makes him human. Some people are more forgiving than others, that's just how people are. In this chapter, you clearly see him try to reach his own conclusion with the seme, rather than it being done one-sidedly again. It's a smart move, and of course after all those years holding onto his past with the seme, he's still going to have lingering feelings. It still doesn't make him an idiot, I think you guy's just want to push the dumbass, doormat uke trope onto him for no good reason, but I think Daichi's case is different from that. But whatever, people don't really care to look into the characters that much.
