But Jin thought that Hamura never really cared and that he was doing all that out of curiosity. After the accident their relationship became sore. I don't know about this one yet, but I can't blame Jin right now.
I agree. Back then they were both at fault, and not seeing each others' POV. Besides, somewhat hypocritical of Jin to say that Hamura was wrong back then not to believe their relationship could last past high-school, when he left without even letting him know in advance. As you said even if they hadn't had a fight Jin would still have had to move away, and I can't see Hamura being the sort of person staying in touch for years. So in a sense Jin is now punishing Hamura for being right? Or worse not caring for Jin the way Jin thinks he should have? I admit I didn't like the way Jin acted at all in this ch. either. I think people tend to sympathize with him because he is depicted as the one "in love", though it seems a very childish selfish sort of "love" to me.
Thank you for getting it and hitting all the right spots! (づ￣ ³￣)づ...Hamura thought he was left behind for the wound and wanting to quit track...He had a ton of hangups when it comes to running and people wanting him just for their ideals. Jin never cleared anything up just made it seem like he wanted Hamura just for his track skills...Jin sitting back and pretending or letting Hamura believe all this isn't right...But people always give the "ukes" a free pass or more leeway to be wrong...Jin calling Hamura selfish and childish, the pot calling the kettle black... （￣へ￣）
Jin helped create a bigger problem and misunderstanding. He was leaving anyhow with his parents he told Hamura he liked the Jin that ran the best. Should he have confronted Hamura or told the truth at the point of getting the wound, things wouldn't have gone so sour. I am not giving Hamura free pass But Jin surely doesn't get one either. Leaving someone behind without a proper reason makes it hard to move on. Whether or not he felt Hamura felt the same. The whole thing even now makes him just as immature as Hamura except Hamura changed and matured where as in Jin still lacks it to me...

I don't like this chapter. Hamura may have been at fault, but for half of it. Jin hadn't told him he was leaving anyway with his parents and so either long distant relationship or break up anyhow. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ Now he is acting like he left due to Hamura's doing and that doesn't sit right with me. （￣へ￣）Like he is enjoying Hamura's pain and acting self righteous...So I will wait till next chapter for real proper resolution or I am dumping this one with one star. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
