Hide for 5 years? That seems so cruel. He latched onto some woman and lived off her. Leaving the uke to wonder about his fate. Why did he do that? It saddens me that he gave up so easily on him. I guess that's real life. I kind of wish the uke had fallen for the friend that was there for him for 5 years.

I think that's because he wasn't sure if the uke really liked him and if the uke was willing to sacrifice his current life to be with him... he wasn't sure he could provide him with happiness... He wasn't sure if the uke would regret it... and he didn't know that the uke was looking for him, he said it himself...
Even so I prefer more confident seme, but we're all humans after all... ^^

that trip to england where the gardener takes Sumito to visit his ex lover. He even tells his ex that he is better at sex than Sumito. That really destroyed the entire story. People in the comments are trying to excuse it, but theres no excuse for that. I dont care how open someone is, you dont tell someone else they're better in bed than your partner.
The gardener in the end gets jealous of another man and confronts Sumito. But Sumito never confronts him for that scene in england. If it wasnt for that scene, this manga would be in my top favorites

am i the only one annoyed by him? he constantly keeps secrets from his partner.
i get the feeling he was starting to develop feelings for kyujo especially since he thought of him and felt guilty thinking of him. he even thought of him while he was having phone sex with his partner. he gets texts from him and lies to his partner that its messages from his brother.
lying that hes doing overtime work, while going to the house of the man that tried to rape him.
i feel like he had feelings for him and the author never really resolved that.

i feel like kotaro just realized he wasn’t as bad as he thought he was. i think he started thinking of him more as a friend, and not a love interest. he never liked him enough even after taking care enough to consider dating him. you can be worried about friends, and care about friends. he’s truly in love with ayumi and it’s so easy to see.

Wait wait no, the reason why he thought of Kyujo while having phone sex is because Kyujo kissed him on the forehead, he doesn't want anyone but Ayumi to kiss him, so at the end of the phone sex, when Ayumi was about to kiss him, he pressed the phone against his forehead, which literally meant Kotaro wanted Ayumi to overwrite Kyoji's kiss. Did you even read the manga? Lol. Also wouldn't you feel guilty when you splashed boiling water all over someone's arm?? Also what's wrong with liking his books, as long as you don't like the person himself? And I know it was wrong of him not telling Ayumi that he was looking after Kyoji, but what can he do? He just thought it's not that big a deal as long as he gets it over with and doesn't do anything with Kyoji. And I think he defends himself from Kyoji pretty good.

It is a big deal if you keep things from your partner. If you're spending time with someone they don't like and the person is interested in you. If you don't mind your partner secretly spending time with someone that's interested in them and kissed them, that's on you.
No need to be condescending and asking me if I read the manga.

Personally I wouldn't care if I accidentally poured hot water on a guy that kept harassing me. He didn't understand the word know and kept forcibly kissing him. He should have left the company and applied to other places. It's not like he was depending on that job for a living. That's just my opinion. I don't like people that are pushy, and I still feel like he started getting feelings for him.

I stated facts that have caused me to believe he has feelings for the other guy. Nothing you said changed the fact that he started thinking about the other guy (fact) thought about him during sex( fact) hid the fact that he was working for a guy that his partner hates (fact) hid the fact that this guy was constantly touching him and kissing him, and he let the situation continue (fact). He never did anything to stop this, even let him into his home while his partner is gone (fact).

why did he give into the bullies? why did he go to the mixer? im so confused.
...
also, im saddened by all the hate against the uke. only people that are antisocial and cowardly would understand. he is weak, but he is growing up and standing up to people despite his fear. he was ready to get beat up if necessary but he didnt want the seme meeting a woman at the mixer.

so long as he keeps telling his partner he is doing it? i get that nothing is going on. but how can a relationship that is just starting, have any chance of working out, if you cant stop seeing an ex? an ex you still have feelings for.

i don't think sunny still has feelings for young, he has been trying to get rid of him, but after having someone be there all the time it becomes some sort of habit. sunny also has some clear wounds and he's a super adorable sdkfl baby so it makes sense that he's struggling a little to be stern with young, but he has tried to let young know it's over -- young is just a piece of shit who won't listen ( ̄∇ ̄")
when he went to visit him at the company? im so confused. =/
