Kakeru's jealousy is more evident in this volume. He gets jealous a whole lot than you would think, cuz he acts all tsundere about it.

They've been together for 4 years in this volume. They met when Satoshi was 29, and he was 22. This volume stated that Satoshi is now 33, meaning, Kakeru turned 26 in that bday chapter. And since I'm hella delusional, this was posted in 2020-2021, if we follow the actual timeline, they are now running 9 years together. Ffs at this point Kakeru is hella honest now and their relationship is 10x more passionate.

The first time I read this series, I didn't know if Kakeru was even worth being in this relationship, but after reading it so much, we can see it's from the small gestures that he does. If he actually meant them as just FWB, then those snuggles and platonic gestures were just for show? But no. He pampers Satoshi when he's in a rut, or when he's in writer's block. He listens to all Satoshi's crazy requests, he is worried A WHOLE LOT. He also knows his fave sex position and practices. Although he says that he is usually the sweet kinda guy in a relationship, I feel like his unhinged worry wart self is his actual self. He's not confined to being this perfect man. He can be his true self around Satoshi.

Satoshi's development from a chronic suicidal attempter, to being thankful for being alive is really a development that came a long way. And in their 4 years of relationship, he has come to enjoy sexual intimacies with his partner, like, it became evident that his past bad experiences were all replaced with good ones. It was hella romantic, passionate, and hot.

There's nore to my analysis, but I'll just state the top 4. Thank you for reading my essay ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
