Your comment made my day gosh your so convincing plus everything you said were all facts..! I love how you took time to fully understand sekaiichi hatsukoi and successfully made a comparison to this manga.
Really... the author should try to learn how to stick to the untoxic way of dealing relationships (not clichèd in any kind of way) but in their own way of course.
You deserve a million likes <3~~~
Aww OMG! Thanks! I was getting so mad reading this volume but when I started to see the plot in retrospect I was like- Wait, I swear I had read this storyline somewhere else.
Sekaiichi Hatsukoi is no way near to be perfect but the story knows its characters and never lets them do something irrational just for the sake of fanservice (which I think it's the case for Zutto Kitto). Both stories have so much in common and it amazes me how badly this author handles it in comparison to Nakamura.
I like toxic ways as a plot-device but the other volumes never suggested that this would be that type of thing. It looked more like "forgiving yourself" and "always be there for you", not "I'm about to cheat on my boyfriend and it's his fault" LOL (⊙…⊙ )
Want to read a good arc about a third party who wants to persuade the protagonist into being his lover since he has known them for a long time and doesn't want them to suffer the same pain they did before with the same person, despite the current romantic relationship that has been built in the progress of the manga? Well, volume no. 3 of Zutto Kitto is no good for you. Alex is been handle so badly that he doesn't even look like a best friend, he looks more like a boyfriend. Jin doesn't have moral conflicts nor the idea of how inappropriate he is acting. Hamura is going to be, once again, the one who has to fight for the success of the relationship despite being rightly jealous.
Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, for example, has a similar arc with the same topics as this one but it's told so much better. It manages to get anxiety for the years that Takano wasn't in Onodera's life, the excitement of Onodera confirming that his love is so much stronger than he thought to the point that no other can compete and the shook of Nao's efforts to get his love across regardless of being one-sided. Zutto Kitto should learn, not to get the same final product but to produce equivalent emotions on what the story has told us. Disappointing.
