I have to reread the past 3-4 volumes, because I am lost in the sauce.

Oh, and ON THE FLOOR AT SCHOOL?! AGAIN?!?!?!
"Your turn to be on the cold floor."
OK, yeah, he asked for it, earlier.
By all means, give it to him. Give it twice!
You don't have to give it to him HERE. TPO.

 

[Thrembs]

Ok, so Sora knows Miyano's co-worker who also helps make manga in some capacity.

There has been a really crazy cliffhanger at the end of every chapter for volumes

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

Ah, yes.
To "kiss" 😬

On a classroom floor.
With other people in the building.

I guess they now both know what it's like to be topped with a cold back.

Wait, so Miyano's coworker is in touch with Shirahama, and knows Sora.

I need to check when I have a better connection, but is said coworker the eldest-Hanzawa's ex?
If so, I hope Shirahama doesn't end up with him. Mr Whitebeach is a mess, already. Doesn't need a man with a history of violence.

So many birds with feathers flocking together!!!

...and each other, on the floor!


Edit: wait, that would make him Dudeman McBro's brother, and I think Miyano would have noticed the name.

What's happening? Is this Dickens or King?!

The gay agenda cinematic universe?

Okay so as far as I've understood this: Tashiro met Akikawa, who is/was? Miyano's coworker, in Ch. 49 and they became fast friends. Then the gang invited Akikawa to the cultural festival but he couldn't make it, so Tashiro promised to take pictures for him. Since we see him in a manga studio with (presumably) assistants I'm wondering if he's the same person as / otherwise related to Akikawa Shouko, Miyano's favourite BL author, whose booth Sasaki went to in Ch. 48 to buy doujins for Myaa-chan? Also suspicious that in that same chapter Sasaki asks Sora if he knows Akikawa-sensei and Sora is quick to deny it all panicked... Hmmmm... Then how does Akikawa recognize Sora immediately? Have they worked on manga together? Are they rivals, friends, old classmates, or what? What if Sora knows Akikawa, maybe he's even the "friend who got a table in the past", but they drifted apart and Sora has no idea that he's now THE Akikawa-sensei, successful and popular BL mangaka??? idek man

Feels like there's so many side character plots happening right now, it's not a bad thing but my one braincell is struggling to keep up a little lol. Rereading past chapters helped a ton though.

THANK YOU.

But isn't it Shirahama that was texting?

I don't know. What tangled web.

No problem! And it's definitely Tashiro, on pg. 37 he's the one taking pictures and talking about sending them. It's a bit confusing since Shirahama also has his phone out in the same scene.

Makes things less overcomplicated. Because if Whitebeach was involved in this web, that would accelerate THAT inevitable drama.

I don't know if I want him to tell Miyano about how he feels or not, once he accepts them.

Yeah, closure is nice, but sometimes you just move on.

Friend I had has had a crush on the same person for 10 years, and said person is now married. Not moved on. Still carrying a torch.
I'd describe her as a simp, even. DONT SAY ANYTHING, AND MOVE ON.

Shirahama isn't going to be a simp, I don't think. Just a disaster.

"I want a girlfriend" that won't change anything, kid. The gey is inescapable.

Same. Maybe it'd be nice for them to have a heart-to-heart about being queer though, so Shirahama could feel less awkward about himself. I think he just needs someone to tell him that it's normal to feel that way, and that crushing on your friends is basically a canon event for gay teenagers lol.

😬 Don't even know what to say to this except yikes. Unrequited love is rough and I would know how hard it is to move on, but 10 years??? The resilience...

Indeed.

I think it's more ...pathetic.

They refuse to do anything to better their life, but lament everything about it.

Gets misgendered at work, falls apart for days. "Well, if you put effort into your appearance in any way whatsoever?"
"Why should I have to do that?"
"You don't, but avoiding stereotypes is just going to have the effect of falling into other stereotypes."

"This job is constant stress and I'm always overworked."
"You have skills that could be put to use elsewhere."
"This business will fall apart without me!"
"I know. That's not on you."
"But these other people need jobs."

Geez, have some nails to help hold you up on that cross.
