I really don't blame Natsuki for ending it :( Souta literally talked about wanting to kiss a girl on THEIR date. Like how dumb can u be?? He doesn't even give Natsuki too many hints he likes him, either, he just says he likes to hang out with him which can be easily seen in a platonic way instead. I don't blame Natsuki for interpreting that as "yeah ok this guy seriously doesn't like me that way" and ending it before he gets badly hurt (even though he's already hurting pretty badly).

I keep rereading this bc of how much i love chigasaki and mishiba's designs. Idk if its just me but i can easily see a character of chigasaki's design be the main character of some dark, gritty series aimed at a male audience, so seeing a character like him in a bl manga aimed toward women just... makes me so happy??? I love his design so much. He's also so moe, he's a handsome man covered in scars and has some facial hair, but he's sweet and makes the cutest expressions.
And then there's mishiba, i feel like his character design would be something you'd normally see for a side character, but he's the main character AND he's paired up with chigasaki's character. Idk i just find this pairing so interesting, i feel like pairings like this aren't really common, and they remind me of pairings i'd ship in a non-bl series where i could only imagine them being together, meanwhile we get the real deal here. It's nice, i'm very happy (i hope this made sense haha)
Also after their last conversation, right when Natsuki says "You'll never fall in love, you're obsessed with girls." Souta just replies with "Maybe I am but why now...!?" I feel like Souta himself doesn't even realize he likes Natsuki romantically, and if he DOES he could've said something like "Maybe I am but I like you too" instead to let Natsuki know how he feels.
