I have a sneaking suspicion it's not a coincidence Kei's exes have been trash. When you ha...

This is called projection. We put above the actual situation a filter based on our experiences distorting the actual image. Kei said he is gay, and ML told him "I am also of your people". The only thing Kei knew is "rumors from gossip magazines" which there are always floating about singles acting as a love couple. He thought "omg are they actually a couple??" when he saw her at the same building and ML said welcome back, he saw them very friendly (he didn't know that they are good friends), he was feeling awkward thinking they might be a couple and this is a strange food outing, but she immediately told him that I like him but we are not an item and he does not show any romantic interest in me. So his misunderstanding lasted for around 2 hours. And the reason he was afraid to commit was because bf1 hide that he was a married bi, bf 2 cheated, bf3 exploited him for money. So he thought he acts like he is liking me, but if regular people can act, an actual actor can do it 1000 times better. I hope I helped

I get that he has trust issues, but he hurt taiga because of his presumptions of him being a chameleon actor not because taiga did anything suspicious. However that isnt my issue with the story, I find it kind of bland that they ended up together without any groveling. Taiga forgave kei immediatly without even a good apology…

You forgot that Taiga started the whole thing as FwB and was not like "I will go slowly and we will start from friends and I will break down your walls and you will trust me and date me". They started as a physical relationship and that is why Kei was thinking"ok he can't have an open relationship due to his job, we have great physical compatibility, and I have fear starting a serious relationship, so i am perfect for him". And when he started catching feelings he was like "bro you going down the same path as before, you are catching feelings for someone that wants a physical bond with no strings attached". Taiga had actual feelings for him from before so he was tender and sweet, but Kei does not know that, so he is like "wait a minute why you are behaving like there is something deeper already there when we know each other for a few days? "

Yeah I get the part where they couldnt build a bond, but kei really hurt taiga after he already knew of their past. But thats the thing with stories that have to end in 6 ch, so I dont blame the aurhor

It's not called projection, it's called interpretation and perspective. Please don't throw psychology jargon at me. To me he looked absolutely positive that the guy was taken but they were so compatible that he didn't care, which is why he looked mortified when he met the actress for the first. That puts his "unlucky" dating history into perspective. Some people are too kind and attract shitty people yes, but Kei was never depicted that way. To me it shows that he might overlook red flags if he's benefiting from the relationship in some way. Yes Taiga's approach wasn't the best, he could've tried being friends first, but he was told by Kei that he was over dating and was only looking for casual hookups so he took the opportunity. Other than that he did absolutely nothing wrong besides being an actor, which makes him a liar in Kei's eyes. Dude went above and beyond to redeem himself and never got much of an apology. I respect your interpretation so please respect mine and don't try to psychoanalyse me.

Ignoring the obvious facts is not interpretation. Kei clearly said "but he told me he was one of us" (chapter 2 ) and when she saw her (at the end of chapter 2) he thought "friend? He means "friend" - as FwB, or she is actually his gf?". Since he is thinking "wait is she also a "friend" or a gf" that means up to there he didn't thought they were actually a couple and he believed the "I am also one of you (gay)". The fact that they live next to each other and they are friendly make him think that they are. You ignored clear dialogue lines to adjust the story to your perspective.

And the extremely funny thing is that you did exactly what Kei did. You extrapolate in your mind a narrative that suit your life experiences and misread the actual story, as Kei did with Taiga

The irony of you accusing me of ignoring dialogue when the dude literally thought "I can't say no to my urges" after considering that the rumors might be true isn't lost on me. It would've taken him 2 seconds to ask and get his answer. Extrapolation is a valid type of character analysis as long as there is evidence from the text. But sure keep psychoanalysing me and as if that wasn't enough now you're making claims about my personal life and lived experiences? Anyway I said what I said. Unlike you I'm going to stay courteous and not make baseless assumptions about you. Have a great day/night.

I agree with you on this. The fact that Kei knew (even if it's rumors) that Taiga was dating Lilia, he went ahead and had sex with Taiga anyways. That's what I also noticed, it's an etiquette to cut off someone if they already have a lover but Kei didn't and that's what made me question his past relationships. Also, idk but the fact that theyre both having sex and have a compatibility yet Kei has the audacity to push Taiga to Lilia is making me think that he's fine doing it even if Taiga's dating the girl.

And, why does Taiga have to focus on Kei's feelings when he treasured Kei all throughout. Kei already knew how affectionate and different Taiga is whenever he's with him but still rejected him and called him liar...

Thank you! Like what kind of guy thinks: "Who goes out to dinner with his girlfriend AND the guy he's sleeping with, does he not understand social cues?" (direct quote) if he doesn't think they're dating? The dude didn't think that social cues involved NOT sleeping with another guy when you have a girlfriend but simply not meeting both of them at the same time. Also thank you for reminding me that he tried suggesting Taiga date Lilia, yeah that was sleazy behaviour.
