I fucking called it!

 

[Nohxus]

Oooh that definitely doesn't feel good but I don't really agree. I think if anything comparing it to how has treated girls prior to this I would say he's actually interested. Maybe not nearly as much but it's still something

 

[Skater901]

There it is...

I think he's wrong, I think Asahi genuinely likes him. I think Asahi might be gay rather than bi, and just hasn't realised it yet.

 

[ShallowContrarian]

He was in three pages but I really feel for the bi guy.

seemed pretty 'demi' to me but idk if asahi would go after another guy even if they do permanently break up

oof casual biphobia, i get why some gay ppl would wanna stick with ppl who are ever 'only gay' versus bi/pan etc (at least he has acquaintances at the gay bar(?) so it's not like he's completely isolated from others who are 'like him' versus being the only gay guy among like bicurious ppl)

It's as I suspected, but I think Kanefumi is being unfair and patronizing about Asahi's feelings. I don't fault him if he truly wants to break up for a real reason, but I think he's running away from his insecurities and lying to himself about it.

I understand how it feels to be avoidant like that out of fear of rejection. Something as simple as asking as friend to hang out can be scary if you're in a bad headspace and are born with unlucky brain chemistry. Especially if you have previous trauma.

Of course we have interiority for Asahi and can see that he seems genuinely attracted to Kanefumi both emotionally and physically. Asahi is constantly thinking about how cute he is now. Lol

I fucking called it!

do you mean the break-up? Why he ended up in a relationship?

Also.... receipts?

Recall what the author said at the end of the 2nd arc:



It was never about BL or GL or any relationship for that matter. This was a hollow boy trying to attach meaning into something... anything so that he can feel full.

Ive given that same talk, never ends well

 

[pink_rabbit]

I think Asahi is just demi-sexual at this point. He seems like the type to not care about gender rather about the bond with the person. I know some who are like that

which side were you on? As Asahi or Kanefumi?

 

[cybeast21]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well it's not like we haven't seen it coming but it doesn't make it less painful

The one giving the talk, having to explain that i cant reciprocate whatever romantic attraction they might have, since im ace. Most of the time they let go of the friendship to so it kinda hurt having those expectations put on me by someone i thought was a friend

Ace or aro? I understand you can still have romantic attraction despite being asexual. I'm on the aro-side and like that as well.

 

[Doomroar]

I don't know man, him being afraid of losing you sounds pretty darn gay to me... that kind of serves as proof that you should date

 

[MarMar37]

Wow, I said this almost exactly a year ago after chapter 68 dropped haha

Boy I dunno, I don't think he actually likes him, he just feels the pressure of potentially losing someone he cares about for the first time in his life. Judging by the other stories in this manga, I could see Kanefumi taking it seriously, they start "dating", and then it getting stressed because Kanefumi figures out that the feeling Asahi feels isn't actually romantic love.

I think is my favorite arc so far, too. Some heavy stuff, but overall pretty relatable.

Do seals really melt the snow around them? I would think that would be a huge loss of body heat
