so i reread this but the drawing Kou did was natsume right ?

yes that's exactly what i think happened:•) i think he was so afraid of being a bad impact on her life, he tried creating a distance, and then at some point i think he was afraid of actually losing her so he tried pulling her back, and then he got clarity and realized doing this was just preventing natsume from being what he knew she could be, so he made her promise not to meet again. but when he realized how much they loved each other, but at the same time wanted to have a healthy relationship with her, he said they could meet when they were at their respectable moments etc. et.c does this help ?
i feel like Otani only did the bare minimum, like there were times i didn’t like how he was acting towards risa. i feel like she deserved better but this is only MY opinion
He was awful, one of the worst male shoujo love interests tbh. Risa should've ended up with Kohori tbh. If she had just given up on Otani from the start, she would've most likely started dating Kohori and he would've treated her MUCH better than Otani
same I wish they’d shown their love more!! like the little parts of love where you really love their smile or the sound of their voice or you miss them/want to look cool in front of them/tell them you like them. Like they were missing all of that. It just felt like they were friends and they got jealous and that was the only time you saw them as a couple. I wish they had more passion!
