Isn't it good for her that Ijima is dead cause he was a liability to her anyway, and it seems like the violent kid killed him so it will most likely be pinned on him. Even if it all traces back to Shikimi's disappearance, it would just seem like Ijima was the one who killed her, so Sensei's tracks are covered temporarily right? I mean since she needs to kill all of them, all of them disappearing will look suspicious anyway (they already have a team formed for two kids disappearances and the kid ringleader of the group is already on to her) and there is no fixing or accounting for that imo, but having a cover for the unexpected variable (Ijima) that could have exposed her sooner still works in her favor. Right? Another issue is the dad getting in the way but I like the theory of them being in kahoots. But also, I feel like he'll just let her go and won't actually help er so...

That's assuming that Ijima died before being investigated. He could have let Maria's name slip at any time, especially considering how Shikimi disappeared right after she told Ijima to do something about her. I feel like Maria is in more danger now until she finds out who killed Ijima because depending on who it was that killed him, they could have some connection with her and link her to Shikimi's disappearance.

how is this man so good at flirting like what the fuck

On ch 16 and this man is like so good like he is blowing me away, never in the history of ever has a 2nd ML been so goddamn behind. Like he needs to give up so quick cause the way the ML is running laps around this kid is criminal. I am speechless at how fucking with it Itsuomi is, literally clutching my hair and mouth wide open. I feel like my cold frigid heart is being lit on fire

I’ve reread it and it’s true. Itsuomi runs laps around Oushi. I feel like Oushi is extremely inexperienced and immature for his age. Apparently he’s actually 22 but the way he talks to Yuki is like a middle school boy.
From what I can tell he has zero chance unless Itsuomi dies or somehow turns out to be a jerk and lying this whole time.

No I binge read it (which is why I have back to back comments lol) and like Oushi isn't even showing up on the radar its almost sad. Like Itsuomi is just doing everything better like the flirting? The communication? Him just expressing his love for her? Him saying I want you? Let me in your world? She even says even when he's far away he never makes her feel left out. What makes it even better is that he's only sweet to her, like everyone close to him has never seen him be sweet and in love. I'm weak in the knees man

Isn't Itsuomi 22? Oushi should be around Yuki's age, right? Thry're childhood friends and she's 19. But I kinda forgot if his age was mentioned so Idk ( ̄∇ ̄")
Oushi definitively looks younger than Itsuomi but Itsuomi has also got the huge advantage of just having a whole lot more experience, especially in handling himself around people.
And Oushi is quite cute tbhヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
I just hope he'll be able to move on someday

I just came here from the anime (i've only watched the two ep that are out), I think after seeing some of the comments about Oushi and also watching him briefly, I think that while his effort is sweet (him learning sign language) his perspective is skewed. People with disabilities shouldn't be treated as completely fragile and in need of being separated and protected like children. They're entitled to living life like everyone else, like my biggest gripe with Oushi already is that he acts like she needs to be completely protected away from society and not only is that so limiting for her but also taken in the most negative way is also patronizing? I also feel like a lot of people steer into this mindset of people with disabilities need to be protected at all costs but like who asked for all of that?
Look I feel for Oushi in some aspects okay, there's a lot going on over there. But! At the end of the day being mean to someone you like is a big no. Oushi kinda hinted at it that he knew what he was doing or realized or something, that since he didn't know how to express his emotions properly, he had opted to be mean to Yuki instead of being nice and expressing that he actually likes and cares for her. (Hence the mention of the opposite of love is not hate but indifference) he basically reasoned it in his mind that he'd rather Yuki be annoyed by him or anything other than her being indifferent to him. And honestly we see it so much in romance, and again, that is not it. Also goes with the whole "well he's teasing you and being mean cause he likes you" and that shit pisses me off so fucking bad. Fix yourself please.
