Agreed. These guys are almost 30, they are not kids and seeing them acting so childish it's starting to wear me out. It's so unrealistic, and it would probably be more bearable if this non-existent conflict weren't dragged on for ten years.
That's the thing.. Onodera is not the man in this relationship.

I'm sorry but just because he's a bottom doesn't mean he's not a man. He NEEDS to act more like a man. Gay relationships don't go like this with the 'top' doing everything for them. period.
I've reread this a while back and the pacing is much better than you think it is but in real time obv its been more than a decade(I read this when I was 13 and now i'm 21) but yeah I still agree.
huh.... just because you're a bottom in a relationship doesn't mean you aren't a man please don't use that kind of stereotype because it's used way too much
Period.
Being in Takano's shoes about being ghosted by someone who I thought I shared a deep connection with I completely understand that internal battle of reluctance yet wishing and hoping and being disappointed by others again and again, still falling into the same trap of high hopes. It's kinda frustrating when Takano always has to take the first step for them to move forward--if at all. Like can't Onodera be a man and just tell him how he feels?? It's not that hard to say "hey I don't know my feelings right now but let's take it slow." He's always bending his back over for him and Onodera cannot even muster up some considering words. I understand how Onodera feels too but it's not even an equal to what Takano has endured.
