The vibes here are giving old-school BL, and I'm uncomfortable.


Also A STALL?!?! 😬

This was heckin awkward.

😳 aaaa there was so much in this chapter I'm losing it… and I feel like there's so much more going on here than we're able to see since it's strictly from Kagi's perspective…!!! it's so interesting how Hirano asked about the touching - I'm curious if that, on his side, he's starting to piece together the difference between friends and lovers? these 2 tend to reflect each other so maybe Kagi's “I want to be special to him” is Hirano realizing, on his side, in what ways he's special to Kagi?

I'd been taking Kagi's thoughts and worries about touching Hirano and not wanting to cross a line at face value, but the slow progression of his worries culminating to “what if my ‘love’ is his ‘dislike’?” really hit me 😭 he's so open and honest yet he's overthinking everything he's doing and holding back - that's also his love. it makes me sad, seeing him so happily accept and encourage Niibashi… I love Kagi, I want him to be accepted and encouraged in return 😭 by Hirano…….. otherwise I'd really just like Hirano to let him go and free him from this hell 🤣 lol 🙊

I also wonder if we'll get a revisit of Hirano's line earlier in the series, when he realized the Kagi he likes is the Kagi that's in love with him? that was one of my fav sentiments and I feel like it'd be nice in contrast to Kagi's thoughts

I love angst but please I want flufffff 😭 I'm yearning for their thought processes to align or for them to communicate and encourage each other so that I can really feel that they'd work well together 🥺

thanks so much for the speedy TL! 💖

edit: forgot to add - also that bathroom scene was A LOT lol I do love that Hirano felt so compelled to touch Kagi in that moment (was he happy? moved? possessive? aaaa) that he was just like, yeah sure, let's get in a stall together? Hirano... 🤣

"You sweet summer child, what are you saying?!"

These two will steer me into a mental breakdown soon I swear they are. SO much right now it's unbearable 😭 😭 😭 /pos I love them dearly.... I don't even know what to say, I went from "aww, this chapter is so cute. I love Niibashi and Kagi moments :--)" to "???!?!???=?)%#(=&¤=)" so quickly........ Brother I am still REELING over Kagi suggesting the stall like ????? YOU ARE AT SCHOOL????????!!!?? HIRANO AGREED JUST LIKE THAT????????!!!!!!! It's funny cuz what they did in there was objectively pretty innocent and sweet but because of their general level of intimacy it felt so scandalous and crazy to me lol

And oh my god Hirano..... I am losing my gourd at him not only being antsy to use his seconds for the day (in a bathroom. of all places. wtf. (imagine Hirano from the beginning of the story hearing all this lol ??)) but also being all.. idek, insecure or possessive or needy or whatever he's feeling from pg. 34-36. The pouty blushing "Mm." is killing meeeee 😭😭 <3 <3 He doesn't even need to outright say he's in love atp, you can just tell from his reactions... God I LOVE THEM SO MUCH and I neeeeddddd the Hirano POV nowwwww!!!! I want to know what goes on in his head!!! I would have never expected him to behave like this even after falling for Kagi and confessing cuz he's usually (relatively) coolheaded so I'm just. aaaaaaaaabnfgjng ( TT v TT ) His emotiveness is so good though aughh, thank you sensei...

Kagi trying so hard to understand Hirano's feelings is too sweet, I really love that he just genuinely wants to do his best for his sake ;w; I'm proud of him for learning to control himself better and think before he acts, I feel like their relationship is on the right track to being a balanced one with healthy boundaries now. It's the way they both just care so much about eachother completely altruistically... sobs

I really like how they're contrasting eachother right now too... Like in the Sasaki scene vs Niibashi scene: Kagi has already learned to cope with jealousy and can mostly brush it off - Hirano is only just now realizing he can even feel that way and almost immediately gets anxious enough to act on it. He's basically just speedrunning all the turbulent emotions Kagi has already experienced lol, I wonder if things will keep going like this until he's finally caught up to where Kagi is presently at? (within his own physical and mental limits, of course)

Niibashi's idea was adorable and the whole segment of them working together has me feeling so soft, I know I say this every chapter but their friendship seriously heals me 😭 Man you know it's a good manga when even the platonic relationships have you kicking your feet and bouncing around. Also yay Shimizu!!! I hope we get to see him another time too, he's so cutieful :')

Thank you so much for the chapter!!! Last week was rough but reading this picked me right back up, I'm so happy this manga has such a dedicated team behind it!!

it's so interesting how Hirano asked about the touching - I'm curious if that, on his side, he's starting to piece together the difference between friends and lovers? these 2 tend to reflect each other so maybe Kagi's “I want to be special to him” is Hirano realizing, on his side, in what ways he's special to Kagi?

I was thinking that too!! The way he's behaving different from usual, almost kinda romantically even, and being so assertive makes it seem like he's figuring stuff out. I really hope we get his perspective soon cuz omg how is he suddenly the one making them look more like a couple lol. Your entire comment resonates with me so much btw, and the point about reflecting is so good aaaaa :'>

I also wonder if we'll get a revisit of Hirano's line earlier in the series, when he realized the Kagi he likes is the Kagi that's in love with him? that was one of my fav sentiments and I feel like it'd be nice in contrast to Kagi's thoughts

Pleaseee that would be such a perfect full circle 😭 I really hope sensei brings that back some day!!
