Its obvious she’s going to end up with Shinpei. From the first chapters first page the author made it very clear that Satoko will eventually die and Shinpei will long for her until the day he dies. He was sitting holding a letter what seems to be Satoko’s last will, surrounded by fireflies confirming that it really is Shinpei because he was the one who showed fireflies to Satoko.
Its just so heartbreaking that she will die no matter what cuz I hoped that she’d hold onto dear life because of love

Now that you’ve said it, it really can be Satoko. But the figure resembled that of a man and their clothes seemed like what men in Japan used to wear in Edo era. I don’t think that Satoko will live that long given her condition but still it’s a nice theory. Also I kinda know Japanese a liiiittle bit and read what was written in the letter in the first page andd from what I’ve read it said “I loved you, no matter how it ends, I can say it with all my heart”

Honestly didn’t know I’d end up loving this story this much cuz everything Manabu did in the first vol brought absolute disgust to my guts. Mf was a literal sociopathic manipulative snakeass lookin bitch who groomed kids. I didn’t even understand why our old man (kinda forgot his name) kept going after him after he literally got r*ped. I mean he was using his trauma yadda yadda but still it felt unpleasant to read, shit even felt uncomfortable to look at too (probably bcs the artstyle resembles 3D ppl more than your typical 2D disgustingly beautiful delulu characters). But I’m glad I decided to read it till its end hoping Manabu will change for the better and when I tell you it didn’t disappoint IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Love their relationship still kinda feels weird seeing them together but I think the author captured what it’s like being in a adult and gay relationship is like 100% right. It just feels real yk the feelings angst and undoubting anxiety ab loving smn. I relate to their problems so much and also love how they handle problems like bitches I also wanna be mature in my relationship and handle things this maturely too. I may be writing too much bcs its 6am tired af and feels like my opinion is just what y’all needs rn but who cares I have no school tomorrow might as well rant as much as I want ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

its kind of like eunsung in checkmate (if youve read it) bc didnt he literally r*pe soohyun??? but so much happened with them after that that people kind of forgot or didnt seem to mind as the story progressed. heck, even i wanted to see them transform into a cute domestic couple! but every once in a while a would suddenly remember the events of the first few chapters...
What happened to the glasses boy tho. I really hoped he and natsu could end up together
