This type of pacing, development, and relationship troupe are the ones that end pretty badly in some other mangas. Ones that are usually a past of a character. Like "I used to date someone, and we drifted apart pretty immediately as I knew he wasn't feeling the same."
Like, Misaki is too... how would you call this... not the type of a character that shines brightly, he's like any other exes in other mangas that face doesn't get to show up all throughout the chapters, like a mob character of the MC's or MLs' ex. I couldn't feel him at all. Sorry guys please don't get mad if I'm saying this. I just pretty much hoped Natsuo would be paired with someone else, at some point I hope this wasn't entirely BL. Like I wished Natsuo found a girl, may look exactly like Misaki but with a remarkable traits, something that would make Natsuo realized that he liked Misaki because of his looks which has been stated multiple times, so he could have fallen for a girl who looks exactly like Misaki but could be cheerful, kind, expressive and cute like how he wanted. I swear to god I wanted him to find a girl intead of Misaki. Sorry again don't be mad, am just stating my opinions and thoughts.
