He doesn't realize either of them could die at any moment so he should be happy that the one he loves wants to spend every precious moment with him. Also he always seems like he was suffocated by her and wants space, so I am actually surprised he didn't ask for space more often. They are good for each other on the outside but she is always focused on him while he is focused on his insecurities. But still, this story is so intriguing

That last story.... he didn't even apologize for purposely saying the most hurtful thing he could ever say after she told him her honest feelings about such a personal/sensitive part of her life. He then even acted like she is the one messing up all the time so he will reserve himself and forgive her as a confession. The male leads had entitlement issues. And a typical American woman does not laugh nonchalantly when a man they just met sees them naked. But there were good side characters.

Yamato is doing the same thing he always does. He hurts hirokawa by running away from both of their feelings. Where as our little baby Hirokawa has decided to face something he has feared and been hurt by his whole life while never looking away from what he wants. Keep your eyes on the prize kid. and Yamato, you keep screwing up your interpersonal relationships and pursue that education... dummy! He changed his career path but not himself.

I am lovin' the love for Hirokawa. Yamato is just so frustrating because he is a little bit of a tsundere, so he seldom says what is important and likes to give hirokawa misleading expressions and actions knowing full well that Hirokawa's biggest concern is Yamato's mood. I also can't get over the fact that he forced himself on the main character towards the beginning, then left him there for a while to bask in worry. I just can't sympathize with Yamato on any level.
Whoever started the "strong female lead" tag may have gotten it confused with the "strong WILLED female lead" tag. The shoujo world is so full of disappointments but I guess the good thing about it is that it makes the good ones shine even brighter. I have never seen a character lose almost everything in one night and still grow up to be so ignorant and bratty

Noriko seems weak, but she really is quiet strong, she doesn't give up and tries her best.
