How can you say no to that beautiful Nao smile?!🥰

Vai Russ

God Nao could NOT be more obvious, boy I see you inching closer and closer while offering to ditch everyone to be alone with Souta. Unfortunately Souta's as thick as a lead pipe 😔😔

Julian M

This is so Marshall Lee x Gumball coded :]

hannie

YESSSSS PLEASE DITCH THE OTHERS

Yaya

I also would love that!!

MrMonochromatic

Also how close he got, Nao's so cute

MrMonochromatic

He's excited to ditch like it's math class 😂

Derpy Drop

Here me out, it would be so cute if Nao, get two keychains in secret 🤞🤧

feeeeee

Saaaaame

Laura YUC

Author, idk if you've said it before and if you haven't idk if you'd be willing to tell us BUTTTTT do you know if we'll ever get a Nao's pov?? Not of every scene in the comic but just future scenes? Or even some scenes from the beginning or something idk loll 😅

Laura YUC

I'm hoping that IF souta says no that Nao will get actually angry with him and tell him he misses him. and it'll snap souta out of his funk. How cute would it be for souta to have the guita key key chain and nao a soccer ball one?? Its like "oh u play guitar??" "Nah my boyfriend does. He gave it to me to always carry a bit of him with me everywhere" "Oh you play soccer" "yeah but that's not why I carry it. My bf is obsessed with it and he gave it to me so that I always have a piece with him everywhere I go" 💓 💕 💗

FallingPixie

OMG FINALLY. Sneaking away?? This is so cute, gods I hope they can have some time to themselves ♥

JH

Nao has “stirred”, now he just needs to fully “wake up” to what’s happening around him.

Nikki_66

FINALLY SOME RELIEFFFFF

mars

THANK YOU JESUS

marsiano 🦇

oh god he is gay af

Tortiebelle

I squealed a little at Nao’s face at the end 🤣 glad he’s making it more obvious how he feels

WillShipForFood🛥️=🍕

Side note but I love love love when Nao smiles like that because it reminds me how far he's come. He used to be so sad all the time and now that he has Souta he doesn't have much reason to frown <3

Hermione

HAHAHHAA the HER as if saying her name is a forbidden curse or something😂

Hermione

Right?!? Honestly… right now with the way Nao is acting it’s reminding me of how Arashi is acting to Nao right now. Except more considerate

Hermione

Couldn’t have said it better. Your comment has given me hope and excitement for today’s chapter coming out. Let’s hope nothing gets in between them

Hermione

NO SAY IT WONT BE SO

Hermione

I feel like this is one of those… “Growing up is realizing that Nao was just as obsessed with Souta the whole time” moments because damn. It’s just the way Nao is looking at Souta right now really seems like he’s in desperate need of spending time with him.

WillShipForFood🛥️=🍕

I mean how could you say no to that face?

Mojo

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Rude kitten

YEEEEES FINALLY SOME TIME ALONE

NeonOstrich

He’s gonna say nooo PLEASEEEEEE PLEASE DONT SAY NOOOOOOO

Cony N

I came to patreon to end the agony from webtoon hahaha I’m glad finally we are having some time with the boys together. Please, Souta say yeeees

Mac

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱

The Urge

Imagine Souta having angst over this like "He clearly wants more from me as a friend than other people but my crush makes it weird. What do I do? If I spend all this time alone with him I’ll never get over this. What if I say it and that makes him less comfortable around me? What if he's hitting on me and I make him think I'm not interested?"

Nicholas

YEEAAAAAASSSSSS IM SO HAPPY

iluvbears

sobbing

Lily

I’m gonna tweak out if he says no for arashi’s sake

ultimate lurker aka Pika

poor nao hahahaha Takeo leave that man alone

Holden

Asher Starner

AAAAA@AAAAAA

Kappathefish

i fucking LOVE GAY PEOPLE!!!! (is a gay person)

Taytorade

Please have Nao immediately complain about Arashi being too clingy 😭🙏

Caleb

This gives me so much hope for the upcoming updates! (Obviously, I love the comic no matter what, though.) I wonder what will be discussed? How long will they be able to stay away? OH MY GOODNESS will there be hiding involved? Cramped quarters or intimate situation hijinks?! GIFT GIVING?? Will we find out what's really going on in Nao's head, particularly in regards to Arashi? Oooooo and what will happen with the rest of the group??? Will we see more of Inoue and Keisuke?? (I sure hope so, but we'll have to wait and see.) I love how happy Souta and Nao make each other and I can't wait to see what goes down! (P.S. still INCREDIBLY impressed with this comic's story and art! Aina's got the facial expressions down to a T! I'll never have words to describe how happy this comic makes me :))

Kari Stoltenberg

May your crops be plentiful 😭😭😭

shae

oh this is SO cute, i'm glad nao is finally making a move of some kind instead of being hopeless like souta

Olitri

Aina really went: “I’ve heard your thoughts and prayers and am here to answer them.”

OMGGGGG NAO

Aniripsi 28

Yeeeeees Pleeeeeeaseee

Iona

Look at Souta being so happy fr 🥹

Elise Panzo

Naos face in the final panel was so funny

Iona

😭😭😭 I can also threaten him with ponpon which allows a sudden turn of event and gives me the advantage of surprise.

MiloticTube

AAAAAAAAH

Abbey

I'm not trying to manifest this but I just know my girl Arashi bouta interrupt them before Souta can even sacrifice himself again 💀

T

Whole chat unanimously: “YESSSSSSSSS AHHHHHHH!!!” 😂✨

VANNA

Yessss, just run with him haha. Such a cute smile and he was getting closer and closer. 🥰🥰

Dug

YESSSS

Kaila

HAHAHA

Zarrytan

Nao has been longing for Souta as much as Souta has been longing for Nao. I've gotta say, this Nao is exactly what our dejected Souta needs. I'm liking this straight forward Nao very much.

Angelina Aleman

Damn Nao, that boldness gonna make Souta explode before he even give an answer 💀

Hermione

You can TELL that Nao’s been waiting forever to ask Souta to go off alone together. His expression says it all…

Charlotte Brown

Yessss!!! I’m so tired of angst, I need blush blush moments !!

When you just want alone time with your man but everyone else be in the WAYYYY🥺including the self doubt of your mans because he doesn’t realize he’s the only one you care about😭

emms

Hahhaha what did ponpon do to deserve that 🤣💀

KC

I'm feeling Nao is catching on that Souta puts others first, to his own detriment. Hopefully with Nao voicing to run away -*guilt free*- Souta will follow his lead 🙏

Kathleen

Im finally healing ahhhh

Elliot Summers

He leaned so close

emms

Me too I ran around my house and knocked some shit over

Novicity

Oh my god the way I almost yelled at my desk at work 😭 Please let these two have a nice moment 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Tiny Ez

HE BETTER NOT

Tiny Ez

Nao 🤝 Arashi Trying really hard to turn the friend outing into a date with someone who is clueless about it (I hope Nao succeeds at least)

rae of sunshine

nao is trying his best to turn this into a date

Lily

DONT SAY THATTTT 😭

levi!

Woo!! until next thursday my friends <3333 you better not rip my heart out again next chapter!

lil baby gigglefart

YES YES YES!!!!!

Kazemi / かぜみ

NOOOO YOU MIGHT BE ON TO SOMETHING THERE. Though it looks like Nao realizes talking to Souta is more important than potentially coming off “nosy”. Since in a way, Souta still helped him despite being called nosy several times.

GothSloth

Oh my god Souta is going to say no because he said he’d help Arashi :(

Amber

I've re-read this 4 times already, I can't 😭😭

T Mcnugget

He better say yes please be a little selfish!!! It won’t hurt!!! Ughhh please put your feelings first

Amber

Imagining how close they would actually be irl 😭 Nao really leaned innnnn

Amber

It's so obvious Nao has been watching him from a distance, he noticed right from the start!! 😭 He probably didn't know how to approach it without coming across as "nosy" since he's accused Souta of being like that in the past

Nat

Nao is so flirty, I love it

Cheesla

don’t you even dare put that energy out there! 😆

Kazemi / かぜみ

Man where to begin??? I’m so happy Nao took the initiative to talk to Souta about what’s going on! Honestly, contrary to what people have said, I think Nao has been noticing Souta’s mood for a while. It’s just been incredibly difficult (Souta having a job, pushing himself away because he thinks he isn’t that important to Nao, being unreasonably quiet etc etc) that I do hope they do get away and talk cause it’s a long needed convo and even if it doesn’t result in anything romantic, their friendship needs to survive.

Cheesla

the way nao leaned in when he’s asked to split with souta! these boys need to talk!! ❤️

Circe

Please please please Aina!!! Don’t let HER interrupt them 🥹🥹🥹 or anyone else. Let’s give them some peace 🙏

mixhelle

They're actually getting to talk. That's a real smile on Souta's face. Nao is back to invading Souta's space because he can't help himself. The world is right again. At least for today. 🥰
