Pick a story arc. Y'all wanna tackle this out of nowhere homophobia stuff, fine, but wrap up the storyline you've been dragging for months first, then get to it.
Honestly wth is this manga even about anymore. I wish It had ended when Mitsuki and Oosawa ended up with each other. All the stuff forward is completely unnecessary and is dragging this manga way too much. But hey, at least It gives the author some money.
The people complaining about every decision the author has made since the end of high school (and sometimes earlier) aren't accomplishing anything other than making me not want to read the comments for this series.
Ah now it's yaoi welp time to put this on hold.
Gonna assume at this point that the conflict is over
Do I care about the kid who says "gay couples aren't normal" only to end up being gay for our new protag, nah. The only thing keeping me from spitting venom is that Amayo no Tsuki a far better Yuri series already tackling homophobia had a new chapter that I'll go back and read for a 10th time .
Even setting aside the potential of Aki having a(unknowing?) crush on Riku...the way he blushed/smiled when Riku asked if his show was fun when he thought he was making fun of him at first...at the very least he thought he had a friend who doesnt judge.
He experienced "oh he doesn't think what I like is weird!" for all of two seconds before he got hit with the homophobia.
Maybe next chapter has Riku say "its not normal, I guess...but thats okay" or something. At the very least.
