I think the reason it wasnt highlighted was because he got over it himself. He said later "I'll just have to make sure to keep him interested" so its like he brushed it aside himself.
I noticed that, but I think the idea that he has to keep him interested seems to show that he’s not over it. It sounded borne of insecurity to me? But that might just be me.
This is such a sweet story, and I love that it centers on an autistic character, since autism (or any kinds of disorders whatsoever) are so rarely touched upon in media, much less manga. The only thing I wish is for the story to have given more space for Tsuburaya's insecurities that were hinted at in the end--the idea that he was just lucky and had "gotten there first," that he isn't special. That seems so sad to me, and it just seems like the kind of thought that would continue to haunt him underneath all of his happiness. So I hope that there can be a sequel or an extra chapter where Tatsumi can reassure him about their relationship...
