I wish we got more development about the boys feelings towards rika? Like it was super uncomfortable to me about everyone just being ok with him seeing rika as a girl (whether he hates myself for it or not doesn’t excuse that he needs to unpack shit) (also uncomfortable with comments totally excusing this thinking when it’s a explanation not a excuse) but it seemed to me that he was too hard on himself so he must have compared himself to others around rika when the poor boy didn’t realize that he’s queer. What got me was the way he literally told the uncle “I like him” he might have thought “I wish she was my girlfriend” but that was about the only time he actually ever seemed to think of rika as a girl or misgender him so I wish he got some kind of conclusion of if he figured out his sexuality and still likes rika even as a boy or if he ever got rid of his feelings for him.
I loved rika tho! My boy (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
