i'm fucking nervous! i forgot how nerve wracking this authors works is. i can already picture the scene when dude's dad shows up and when that other kid realizes those two are mad for each other. or worse blondie is gonna walk in on the other two fooling around. i'm nervous for everything but i'm in it for the long haul!

ya'll is this not a tragedy? i assumed this was about some tragic love

As the mangaka said and reiterated throughout the manga, this is NOT a love story. "Hikaru" is incapable of feeling love, and Yoshiki was in love with the real Hikaru, not the current one. But the real Hikaru was straight, so that was never going to happen.
A lot of people have chosen to interpret this manga as a love story or BL, but it has never been a BL. It's like "Hikaru" himself said, he doesn't love Yoshiki, he just likes that Yoshiki accepts him and they do fun stuff together
I'm hoping that they save the village, even if "Hikaru" has to go back to the other side. Then Yoshiki can grow up and live his life the way he wants in Tokyo.
ok that's just a little bit sad. now we know why he thinks abuse is love...
