I love that everyone gets mad at Satoko for not acting age-appropriately with a child, and then Shiikawa is all "Oh yeAH? WeLL I uSEd tO DaTE hER, so ThERE!"
There are no mature adults in this manga. Just big dumb kids.
Idk if I had to describe it I always felt that Satoko and Mashuu have more of a mother/son type relationship.
Him not being able to pin point his feelings for her could be related to the fact that his mother has passed and he never really experience that sort of parental bond with his dad.
His reaction to finding out that they dated could be seen more like a child finding out that their parents actually had sex once π
Yes, we're going fast a bit, lol, it's to the point I'm almost sorry for releasing too fast! Always happy to know you guys appreciate this story! I'm actually reading it along with you guys, as I'm editing it, so damn this manga keeps on giving π
