I feel that Kouji only kissed and has sex with Shin cause he wants Yuki to move forward and then Kouji can finally do Yuki. Kouji's ok with having sex with Shin but his main want is Yuki. If there were a sequel it would be Shin getting someone else, Yuki and Kouji would probably be together since Kouji would make his move to keep Yuki. No problems with 3p tho (hot (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ hehe. but i dont think itll last)

Keichi pulled some bull shitted moves. They were on a happy run with moving in with each other and Shingo showed no signs of ever betraying him. Only till Keichi decided "sure i'll leave him alone for a while so he'll want me more" did Shingo start feeling worried and abandoned and untrusting that their relationship will last. They didnt even talk much on their issues. Shingo was litterally forced to apologize for being worried about their relationship yet Keichi just looked the other way and was hella cold like nothing was his fault. Im pretty disappointed on how they made up where it made Shingo the one at fault for everything and they just make up with sex. its a hollow feeling #-.-)

yeh i thought keichi unfairly got the upperhand there, but in Keiichi's eyes Shingo didn't trust him and was still insecure.

Though your I find your reasoning understandable, I can't agree with you. For me, it was the right thing for Shingo to apologise. Sure, Keiichi's moves can be interpreted like that, but I trust that he was too confident in his relationship with Shingo, so he didn't worry or saw the break up coming. I guess here in the manga we find some things (like coming home late or letting the other man kiss him) very suspicious, but I think it's only a little part of him. The main point was that he was totally sure he and Shingo were very much in love and the rest didn't really matter for him. I think THAT was his fault. I mean, he had the ring and all already... But of course, Shingo, as he hadn't never really opened to him, started to being dubious about their relationship. Well, at least I felt like this through reading the series...

But that's like saying I can let other people kiss me even though I'm in a relationship with someone I trust will not care that someone else kissed me

omg yes!! I think everyone saying that shingo is in the wrong for doubting their relationship doesn't really understand what shingo is going through. Everyone, including Keiichi, knows that shingo was abandoned as a child, therefore he has trouble trusting ppl. Even though they've been together for 4 volumes, in each volume Keiichi does something to shingo that makes him lose his trust in keiichi, ie when keiichi told shingo that they should go back to being fuck buddies. Tbh I just want shingo to be happy and for keiichi to stop being such a stuck up d**k when it comes to shingo.

ikr. even if keiichi didnt know about the abandonment issues, all his actions made Shingo more insecure. I don't even believe Shingo was that insecure before all of Keichi's actions and Shingo was willing to try and was starting to open up to the idea of a lasting relationship (I mean moving in with him and roaming around to others was a huge step for Shingo). I feel that a lot of people forgive Keichi just cause he is known as a possessive lover. Sure Shingo has his faults for not trusting, but Keichi'a actions gives a good reason for Shingo to not be trusting and the way Keichi approached the trust issue was just sad and wrong. Maybe im being to real... :/

yes!!!! Like you said, Keiichi's actions are kinda what shaped there relationship. If Keiichi wouldn't have been prying into shingo's life, then there relationship wouldn't have even happend in the first place. Shingo is really insecure bc he's never really had a relationship that lasted long, so of course he's gonna have doubt in their relationship, but keiichi obviously doesnt see that. I think keiichi shouldve discussed his decision to go to america with shingo before accepting and then letting shingo know. I dont think youre being too real at all tbh. Im always seeing ppl blame shingo for "being insecure" and it makes me kinda mad to see lol. Anyway, I agree completely with what youre saying

Amen! My stomach turned when Shinto took him back and apologised like he was the one in the wrong she in truth Keichii acted like a complete and total bastard.
I don't think I'm going to bother reading this mangakas stories anymore because they always include one partner treating the other like shit, yet it's like the author thinks that's romantic. The relationships in her stories aren't about love, they're about one person using and degrading another, YUCK!

Anyone whose boyfriend announces they are moving out of the country for a year without any discussion and doesn't invite them to come along SHOULD feel insecure.
They should also ditch that boyfriend like a bad habit.
Keichii is an ASS and this is not a happy ending.
A happy ending would have been Shingo dumping him and finding someone better who treated him with respect.

I find it odd that ppl are saying that Keiichi both did all this on purpose to make Shingo face his trust and commitment issues, and at the same time saying that he was hurt and so behaved coldly.
Can't be both ways. If Keiichi was confident enough in the relationship to put it to the ultimate test by a sudden disappearing act, knowing how Shingo would react, he wouldn't be hurt, and behave very badly, nor did he seem very happy when his plans bore fruit. Rather the opposite. If his bad and cold behavior is because he was hurt, then its because he didn't think of Shingo before he acted, the consequences of it and so is in the wrong for everything that led up to the break up, and still behaved badly.
Also his plan would have to have included his brother, Rio, basically his whole family, helping him, knowingly or not, getting Shingo and ring to the US. Too convoluted.

IKR?! Keichii has me so upset. Shingo deserves someone a hell of a lot better. Someone being not Keichii. I remember reading the first book about them, when Keichii said that because he was a cat, he's allowed to do some things, and I agreed. Because since he had a pitiful past of being constantly abandoned, that alone could let a few things slide. But Keichii said, "That's no excuse, because I'm a cat, too." Or something like that. He said that, not knowing about Shingo's past. Keichii never went through the things Shingo went through, said some really mean things to Shingo and had the audacity to trample on Shingo's insecurities.
Honestly, the only reason why I'm reading this is because of Shingo and Rio. Shingo deserves someone who could mend his broken and abandoned heart, not step on it and make him feel even more insecure.

I agree, agree and agree some more.
I also am quite fond of Rio and might read a story about him, but I'm still wishing keichii had been hit by a bus in america or that Shinto had realized his own self worth and moved on.
I actually liked the story about Rio's father more than this one. Yes that couple had issues, but they each had reasons for their insecurities that they finally managed to work out together. Certainly they treated one another with more respect and felt more like partners than Shinto and keichii.
i love how they barely have to talk where you could see how their feelings are dispersed. Like in ch 27 Sakurai is super anxious about what to think about: youchi's situation with his parents or them being a couple and how he should explain it to the people youchi knows. But immediately when he sees youchi, all of those thoughts disappear. They're completely silenced and all he can think about is being with youchi. (▰˘◡˘▰)
