why does the other guy look like he's 35 years old

Man, I've rarely seen homosexuality treated so nicely in a Japanese Manga.

This arc was unexpected, but well handled

Man, I've rarely seen homosexuality treated so nicely in a Japanese Manga.

There is kind of a lot of "the gay guy is the butt of the joke" and/or "the gay guy is there to be super creepy to make the other cast and the audience uncomfortable." Mostly in older stuff though, the more recent something is it doesn't necessarily handle the subject like it was here, but the butt of the joke and super creepy thing are at least skipped over a good amount of the time now.

I know this gay but
man, that kind of friendship is really something

The resolution was... pretty reasonable, fair enough. Nice to know they're still good friends with each other despite it all. Also it's funny how even though there's a same-sex side it's still not a true love triangle
