he probably is in love with him since childhood, maybe your thought apply for other mangas but for this one I don't think so
I’m not surprised I’m being downvoted or the excuses being made here it comes with the community. This is a very problematic trope that often negatively impacts queer men nothing about them being friends excuses this. Please just enjoy the story but don’t bother with the excuses.
