Yu will always be someone I want to protect.
How would you feel if you were pushed to choose between your family and your partner? Yu grew up in a loving but traditional home.
He’s now the head of the family the only son, taking care of his mother and grandmother.There’s this silent pressure to carry the bloodline, to one day marry and have kids, not because he wants to, but because it’s what’s expected of him.
But maybe Yu doesn’t want that. Maybe he just wants to live quietly with Takamada, adopt a cat or a dog, and love freely in his own little world.
So, though, could mean losing everything.
The people in his hometown, the ones who watched him grow up, might turn on him.
Customers might stop coming to his tofu shop, the one his father and grandfather built with their hands.That shop is all he has left of them.
It’s not just work it’s memory, legacy, grief turned into routine.

So when Yu said “It’s just kinda embarrassing”, I don’t think he meant it literally. It was a shortcut, a softer word.
Because being in love with a man and especially being the bottom in a society where masculinity is so rigid, is still something people look down on. Yu isn’t ashamed of who he loves.He’s terrified of what that love might cost him.

And the truth is, Takamada doesn’t have as much to lose.
He doesn’t care what his parents think, his ties to them were already broken, he doesn’t have a family legacy to uphold or a community to answer to.
Yu is his world.
But Yu’s world… is much heavier.
(Just my two cents.)

I want to ask a favor from the person who uploads the chapters. If possible, at the end of chapter 180, could you include how to support the author of this manga so it can rank higher in the series section votes?

This manga was nominated among the best BL series of last year, and people need to vote.

If you love this manga, please vote
(Maybe if it gets a good ranking, they'll make an anime .)

know Takamada won't harm Yu to the point of affecting him psychologically. Besides, we're talking about Yu, the most masculine, mentally strong, and resilient character in this manga. I’m sure that once Takamada has let off some steam, they'll talk it over and come to an agreement to avoid hurting each other and to ensure they both enjoy it. I trust them.

Many are already saying or thinking that Takamada will hurt Yu like in the first episodes. First of all, Yu trusts her boyfriend a lot, and there is consent compared to the first episodes. Also, we were given hints that Yu does have a masochistic side and that she accepts everything that feels good.
