[BroxTheMeerkat]

I love how him dyeing his hair follows the same train of thought of his mom dying her hair, to protect and support someone they deeply care about

Yes Just Like me Fr( Just completely opposite )

Man, I'm annoyed they're having him undo his hair. It feels like he's conforming to the expected, rather than letting his individuality shine.

Alternate take. He's finally worked through the mental issues and depression that made him want to be blonde to begin with. Recall the reason he got blonde hair and piercings. If he's finally worked through all that, and wants to finally be himself without his shields up, then that's good.

Im not crying, its just sweat

i love the maturity here, so many emotions at once that dont feel forced or contrived. This is what I want from romances. I feel like this manga will always eclipse whatever romance I read from now on. Words fail to describe how great this series is.

IMAGINE THAT SCENE IN AN ANIME! With the right actors, it would win prizes everywhere! Q-Q
Specifically the last couple of pages.

This manga is up there with Sweat and Soap because it's just that good.

I haven't found anything that made this happy in my entire life, this is a first for me

Absolute cinema

like others have said, rintaro dyed his hair in the first place cause it was his coping mechanism. nobody wanted to be friends with him based on his appearance, so might as well go to full extremes to make sure that heartbreak of disappointment wouldnt even happen.

now hes doesnt need that shield and can return to how he was with his head held high.

 

[ViEmlleSzDias]

I like the black hair… but I hope he keeps wearing his earrings. Cx

I was concerned if Rintaro dyed his hair black secretly without letting anyone know, least of all his girlfriend, but I'm glad he did tell Kaoruko, and he told her first. This was something he was doing mainly for her sake, so she should at least know about it; (although it's probably also a sign that he's really getting better from the time he needed to do it for himself).

"Kaoruko-san"

He switched to calling her first name instead of her family name. This is actually a big deal for Japanese people.

"If changing how I look can protect what I care about, I won't hesitate for even a second."

If it works, it's a cheap price to pay. Rintaro wasn't even dyeing his hair to express his individuality or anything: as someone else pointed out, it was largely a coping mechanism, that he perhaps doesn't need anymore. And I love how they actually addressed how Kaoruko wasn't so superficial as to only like the blond-haired version of him. She was concerned because it meant something important to him, but Rintaro doing this means he has something more important in his life now. Someone. Her.

"Let's tough this out together."
Relationship goals. A beautiful relationship between equals walking the same path in life.

Man, why are these two so precious? This manga just keeps hitting all the right notes for what I want to see in a romance. I might sound like a broken record by now, but what can I say? I love this. A lot.
