wait so the seme didn't rape the child? or he did rape and kill him at the same time?

No seme didn't raped the child he only killed him cuz his father was not paying attention to him as he used to when he kid himself when he turned teenager his father stopped doing things to him that lead seme feel envied to kid whom his father made next victim -- fuck it feels so disgusting to write such things
nah i wish takeo was the one who did the chasing at the end, not wako. it's kinda frustrating that takeo got upset when it's true that he 'liked' ao lol, romantically or not what fucking ever, but all is well that ends well i guess
it was crucial that wako be the one to initiate at the end because despite being honest about his feelings for takeo, he also had his guard up (even when they first started “dating”)
he would constantly (and understandably) question the sincerity of takeo’s feelings, and believed that he alone could never be the reason for takeo to love him. which is why it’s so important in the end that he realize that takeo has always cared for HIM, no matter what. it was a way for him to accept that he really is more than enough to gain takeo’s love.
also imo, i don’t think takeo was upset over the past being brought up, but rather that wako was using it to deny takeo’s feelings for him, and using it as an excuse to be like “see! i knew he never liked me” because wako was implying that takeo is only dating him BECAUSE of shingo (bc he thought it was shingo ) when in reality, takeo had alr pretty much moved on and forgotten everything and really just loved wako.
Yeah but it just kinda felt forced in the beginning, never liked the “ah yeah… sure… we could try it”. I’d do the same, constantly guard myself if a friend i confessed to would say something along these lines. Somehow makes you insecure, get to overthink.
Moving on to the last part where Wako was curious about who was Takeo’s first guy crush, Takeo shouldn’t leave Wako hanging and gave him the truth. In reality, finally confessing your realized feelings wouldn’t suffice an overthinker despite the assurance you give. I admit that it’s a You problem, in this case it’s Wako’s problem because of his trust issues. But what way to make it slightly better is to tell the truth even though it may hurt, don’t brush it off when the person is asking for answers. Personally, i get dissapointed at my boyfriend if he weren’t honest with me although he knows that it could make me sad. It gives a sense of “am i not worthy of truth?” I always tell him that I don’t care if I cry or feel bad about it, at least you value me as someone you’re being honest with. It’s also another aspect of being seen and becoming important. Although I get where you’re heading when Wako thought of it as an excuse to invalidate Takeo’s finally realized feelings for him. Anyway, i’m still hoping for another book of kanshaku dama and both couples’ college story :))
i agree, idk if they takeo actually explained everything to wako and it just wasn’t shown in the manga, but it would be nice to see them talking about it, it’d also b funny to see wako’s reaction to shingo and ao dating
