The story moves at such a excruciatingly slow pace, only getting releases every other month. I wouldn't be so salty at the direction this manga has taken if we got release once a month instead. Part of me wants to just stop reading this manga and wait until the end of the year to catch up. I just don't care about Shizu and Hiiragi's relationship. Given is no longer enjoyable for me to read because of these two. I can handle angst in relationships, if it's well written and has a good pay-off, but this just frustrating to read for me.
The only way I could tolerate it is if Shizu stops being such a jerk and actually apologizes for how he treated Hiiragi. But I doubt that's gonna happen, as it doesn't seem like Shizu's personality to do that. My prediction is that Hiiragi will blame himself and come crawling back to Shizu and Shizu will act like he didn't nothing wrong. They're relationship teeters on the trope I hate the most in BL: abusive semes and ukes who act like a door mat and let the abuse happen, and love them anyways, even though the uke should dump the seme and find someone better for them. I'd like to be wrong though.
