Girl, preach. I ranted about this above your comment, and boy do Hozumi’s mental health issues get brushed over with sex and fluff. He obsessed over Yamato, and like he was literally sad-crying when having sex with his BF and they just resolve that in the most shitty way. Like boy, you do not resolve your problems by sexing your issues away
I love Hoizumi, I love that he has Yamato even if their communication could use some work. I love that Yamato is doing his best to support Hoizumi, but...
This may be an unpopular opinion, but Hoizumi needs some professional help. He needs therapy. His dependence on Yamato is borderline unhealthy, and it breaks my heart. Their relationship isn't an issue, but his over-dependence is. My heart hurts every chapter I read because he has so much emotional trauma.
Neglect, abandonment, verbal degradation from his father, isolation... these can cause serious mental health issues when a kid grows up in that environment. I just want baby Hoizumi to be happy, but it's probably a fruitless wish to hope the author will treat mental illness seriously. Most likely everything will be healed with the power of love...as is usual in mangas.
