BRING BACK THE FIRST GUY! GIVE US THE MILITARY NERD! HE WAS SO GREEN THAT I WANTED TO CRY WHEN HE WASN'T CHOSEN
Am I crazy for thinking that they need to break up first?
I love their dynamic, but I feel that Minato needs to work on his views on their whole relationship first. I'm not rooting for an overly dramatic flow of story (well, I do enjoy this type of story if there is growth and actual change for the good for the characters). Anyways, it just feels like it would be an usual occurance in their relationship every single time, the trauma and baggage Minato brings and how Shizuman is still new to the whole aspect of being part of the community plus his own trauma and baggage as well. I love Shizuma for being so considerate and understanding but it just feels like he'll get burnt out at some point and it would feel so sad to see their relationship break from there.
Maybe like a few years of both of them just finding themselves and working on their whole being first, I just think that both their personal lives and work lives are so intertwined that the line of how they're a couple and how they're also a seperate being is merging into one. Not sure if anyone feels this but this is just what it seems to me somehow. I get the part that for a relationship to work, you work it out together because that's part of being in a couple but there are cases where when you're both drowning, and no matter how hard both of you try to save each other you'd still sink, you have to realize that maybe if you try to swim or float on your own first, and the other does the same, you'd both stop from sinking too fast. This is just what I feel from the story of their relationship since day 1.
Any thoughts?
I hope in the next volume they do an arc where they break up first. I really think that in their relationship, they need space. Talking about it is good and all but that's just it, they don't actually fix the problem at hand. It feels like it will still blow up somehow even if they have already opened up about their feelings toward each other. It's like it isn't enough. They need time to gather their thoughts, do what each other wants to do first, then discuss it again after some time. The plans of moving in together just seems like a ruse to cover up the issue that they're still avoiding confronting somehow. They're rushing it. They both have baggages that is still holding them back, and even with the communication, it doesn't get better, it continues to grow worse. They're like a ticking time bomb right now, and it's just sad that it might end up badly.
It's just that their relationship feels true to life. You can't always fix things as a pair/group, sometimes, you have to do it by yourself first. I do hope for better progress in their relationship soon. Can't wait *fingers crossed*
