I mean not really, cuz it just makes me wonder why go through the hassle of dating kouhai before when he found out she admires him through Riku. It wouldn’t explain the apparent inferiority complex he seemed to harbor against him before in the early chapters. It’s arguably throwing away a far more interesting plot line. Also, if it’s an arranged marriage type deal, why keep that a secret from your childhood best friend? Doesn’t seem like something worth that level of secrecy and mystique from both the characters and author.Sheesh that'd be pretty funny if it ends up being that Takt was gay the whole time and just wants to be with Riku. Instead thanks to his family's position in the government he's putting on a big show with Shizuku, probably thanks to some type of dirt the counselor has on her family. That would at least be a twist that would make some of these stupid developments have some pay off.
You know I'm beginning to think the theory that Takt is a yandere for Riku is true...
Not entirely sure about that, tho. My guess is that his life being the son of a councilor is very crappy and seeing Riku having all what he wants, he envies and desires the same, even if he has to take it from him. And being a bit crazy about it, of course. And Shizuku... I'm on board with the arranged marriage thing.Yeah Takt is gay, 100%
If he is gay, then why did Shizuku show up at school with a hickey in Chapter 17 after Takt strongly encouraged her to leave with him in Chapter 16?Yeah Takt is gay, 100%
Not that it really means much but when the next volume gets released, it will be uncensored just as it was with past chapters.There are only 2 possible ways this will go. Either the explanation for all that secrecy, NTRy behaviour from Takt, weirdo behaviours from girls will be a fucking Pulitzer award winning "mastermind" levels of plot-twists and hidden stuff, or a cluster fuck of train wrecks and dumpster fire level retarded shit.
Either I will be in awe of how fantastic stuff was re-reading to find the hidden gems like the early chapters with the kissing that suggested heavily it was "gay-Takt" doing, or self-harm level of disappointed that I even gave this manga more care than just reading for fan-service stuff, especially that I don't like big tits and its censored a lot so not even worth it for fan-service angle.
