So it's safe to say that ao is the guy who he got married to... the person yone was talkin...

that's what i'm thinking as well.
(⌒▽⌒)

I hope this helps: I know it's a lot, and I put extra info. It's a habit of mine :)

Yone and Ao did not get married. Someone else got married. Yone did however have an unrequited love. Yes, at the beginning of vol 3, chapter 2 Yone was talking to his unrequited love, his childhood friend.

This is a flashback of Yone’s past ( http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kataomoi_to_parade/mf/sa-v3c002/pg-33/) (Vol 3, Chapter 2, page 33):

Yone is in love this his older childhood best friend, but Yone will never confess his love to his friend. Instead of stopping his friend from getting married and confessing, Yone hesitates at first (like he is going to confess), but then Yone stops himself from confessing and encourages friend to propose to his girlfriend and get married. Yone was too afraid of what would happen if he confesses, Yone did not want to risk it.

^ Also, this is why Ao questioned Yone’s thesis and Yone’s ability to love. (* more below if you are interested, if not please ignore it)

At the beginning of (Vol 3, Chapter 2, page 8) we are in present time. Yone receives a phone call from his unrequited love, who is Yone’s six year older childhood friend. Yone’s unrequited love, his older childhood friend is married to a woman, and has a child.

The childhood friend wants Yone to visit him to meet his child and his wife for the first time. Apparently, Yone did not attend the wedding and has never meet the childhood's friend bride.

So, the childhood friend is upset that Yone keeps coming up with excuses not to come, i.e. Yone being busy with school and work.

Yone continues to find excuses not to come because he still is not over this childhood friend and it will be too painful to meet his unrequited love’s wife and child. After ending the phone call he meets Ao for the first time.

(* continuing from earlier, if you are interested):

Ao thinks that Yone loves in a half-ass manner. Ao thinks that love is an all or nothing occurrence that is messy and cruel—Ao has a go big or go home motto. Therefore, Ao does not want to fall in love with Yone, because Ao will get hurt by Yone’s half-ass ability to love as evident by Yone’s thesis; hence the unrequited love Yone still has for his childhood friend (although Ao is not aware of Yone’s childhood friend).

Btw, although no one implied this in the comment section, I just wanted to say/state this: Yone did liked Momo, but what he liked about Momo was that Momo had the same pain Yone had. Yone and Momo were similar, kindred souls in unrequited love for childhood friends.

Like Yone did with his childhood friend, Momo sacrificed himself for Taka’s happiness with his girlfriend. But Yone realized that he was projecting on Momo, because Momo was not like him (Yone), eventually Momo confessed to Taka and accepted the consequences of confessing his love to his childhood friend.

Which is why Yone stated that he fell in love with the Momo that only loves Taka.

Yone is in love with love, but according to Ao (and based off of Yone's thesis), Yone does not know how to commit to love and does not fully understand the how to love someone. But as we all know, Ao later helps Yone to understand love.

Well honestly I didn't read the whole thing because it's too long.. but I was thinking of the other manga when yone,who brought his lover with him, was mentioned. I'm pretty sure it was him who was wearing the ring so I just assumed they "got married" in a sense.

I'm not being delulu right? Coz I think it was his hand that has a ring on it

I think this is really overthinking it lmao

I'm pretty sure Ao is the one Yone marries (or at least exchanges rings with) because at the end of the first story, we see Yone wearing a ring, and in the author's endnotes on the first chap of Yone and Ao's story, the mankaga said they're backtracking to tell us how Yone got his ring. So it's safe to say he ends up with Ao in the end.

Yay! So I was right

Hi Rice Cake, I don't think you fully read my statement.

I stated that Ao is the person Yone took to the wedding, hence they are in a romantic relationship. Then, I said that there is no proof they are married, the author didn't clarify this, she only put rings on their fingers. And I pointed out too, that having a ring does not mean they are married.

To clarify: Ao and Yone could be married or they could be engaged or they could just be in a committed relationship. The point is we don't know yet. And we won't know until the author clarifies it. That is my point.

And that's not over-thinking.

My summary of the manga is based on the manga, what I stated corresponds with the links. I didn't analysis anything, I only summarized.

Ahhh yes yes, I understand now with the clarification. I got lost in the large summary section, and a lot of it seemed to draw from the smaller details of the story, with the sources and all, so I thought it was trying to prove that Ao and Yone didn't get together or something (hence the overthinking). ^^

But I think it's cool that you tend to explain all parts of the stories you read! It would really help if someone was lost and needed to understand the story
