Will get flack but Todou is very selfish

tbh I don't even like Todou. He's the typical seme character who got what he wanted without even trying and now that he has it, he plays the victim of insecure martyrdom ( remember he confesses but Kirishima then after chases after Todou). Kirishima has gone out of his way and then some to accommodate and reassure him in their relationship and friendship. Todou was promiscuous before dating Kirishima big whoop, he solved his insecurities through sex tons of people do that, it's not exactly healthy but that's besides the point. A relationship you had in highschool with an old sex friend is not some big secret that needs needless angst attached to it. Kirishima has been more than honest and then some in your relationship, especially with regards that he's repositioned his sexuality and even sexual role for your sake when he's only been with women. It's wholly inconsiderate and selfish to continue to hold secrets, even minor ones for your self reason of saving face for past transgressions. If Kirishima was going to judge you with scorn, he would have done so long before when he visited you a the gay bar and learned just how promiscuous enough you were to have a reputation among the regular bar patrons. I truly hate these sort of tropes of straight uke/seme turned "queer" for an already gay partner who then takes for granted it's a whole new experience for their partner to deal with coupled with these romantic feelings. It's extremely inconsiderate and reaffirms those negative stereotypes of gay men preying on straight males, "they'll lead you astray down a dark path" that you'll never come back from and simply move on to their next victim.

    I agree with you 100%. This is so annoying, even Toudou can see that Kirishima is now starting to get the picture of things with his questions and anxiety with the relationship, but he is so darn stubborn and doesn't want to clear things up or reassure him, and the fact that Toudou did not run after Kirishima when he was frustrated gave me an extra annoyance+
    This is disappointing. Just because he is the hot seme in this manga does not mean he get a pass for his behavior from me, and Kirishima knows Toudou used to be a big player and slept around a lot. I mean he heard it from that person at the gay bar. Why is this going to be a shocker?

    I hoped this sequel would bring a satisfying end to the prequel, but it seems it brings only irritation.
