One of the things that I really like about this story, and that makes it feel different from most "secretly gay but in denial" plots, is that Takase isn't pushing his insecurities onto Itou and starting something with him saying "I think I'm into men" (effectively "help me test it out and help me accept myself"). At this point he really seems to be trying hard to think it through and come to terms with everything himself, before he offers his hot mess self to Itou. I think that's important and makes him a good guy. Itou is strong and lovely, but he shouldn't have to carry the weight of someone who isn't sure if they can have a real, equal relationship with him. It's great that Takase's trying to accept himself, before he asks Itou to be with him. (Oh and Takase is lovely too, that last panel of him is just beautiful)
Yeah, but I am afraid that this means Itou is going to find another man because he starts to have feelings for Takase and thinking he is straight and he's just lonely after being dumped he decides to move on with another guy.
