LMAOOO I LOVE THOSE TWO

Oscar Romero

I'M KICKING MY LEGS IN THE AIR I LOVE THIS🥰🥰🥰

hades

hmmmmmm how “on her side” his souta gonna be 💀 all she said was that she wanted to be alone with nao at the ferris wheel sooooo technically souta and nao have the rest of the day before then 👁️👁️

Aina Palm

Just looked it up and apparently you're right, Jen! Nice catch! I will correct it tomorrow ❤️

Rachael Pavlik

Bahahah they’re so funny

Clarissa R.

I love them! Those are real friends!

jen

shouldnt it be “your guys’ motives are way too obvious” ? because hes refering to their motives. “you guys’ motives” sounds incorrect 😮‍💨

MrMonochromatic

Nao is so concerned that his eyebrows jumped in front of his bangs, bahaha

MrMonochromatic

Accidentally they're all in sync 😂 I love them all so much (But, real talk, swap around and go on the coaster at least 40 times)

Tina Gomez

Nao clearly wants to spend time with Souta, look at that face when Arashi asked to ride with him, he looked at Souta like "save me I wanna ride with you." Please ride with Souta on some type of ride alone today🙏🏼 I want them to talk so bad. Also, I feel like we're all expecting them to get alone on the ferris wheel, but I feel like Aina is like "Nah that's too cliche."🧐

A. E.

Not the Wonder Twins coming to the rescue...I'm dying😂

JH

Rina has been stopped for the time being, but now, how do Souta and Nao get on the same page?

Cbnfkq

actually " you guys' " is correct

Tenga

I appreciate their work 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Mikey

The secret wingman (who have no idea they're wingmen)

Bubble P

This 🤝🕴

MANUSS

Do they know about souta having a crush on nao? Every time nao looks at souta like can I go with her like they are together

Rishi

LMFAOOOOO WHAT A DISASTER😭😭

jen

btw aina on the last panel theres a typo! should be “your” !

Mo

he did give inoue a harsh rejection tho. and also in the beginning of the series he rejected two girls who asked for his help with studying. he just seems to want to be nicer to others now because of souta’s friendship :) like when he did a study group for everyone. i think it’s a conscious effort on his part but he doesn’t have good boundaries up with it yet because he’s still learning how to make friends

cinnamontoastpunch

lmaooooo yes

Kaido

Yeah, it use to happen to me plus the app having me to constantly sign me out of my account and resigning in. But recently it stopped doing that and got the notifications right on time it came out. So, improvements?? lolll maybe they fixed it, but we shall see, lol

Sweetish

Could not agree more! You really summed up how I feel as well about it!:)💖

Hermione

Nahhhh, it’s got to be Inoue and Keisuke😆

Clayraro

I mean Soutas deffo against it, his just putting societies heteronormative assumptions ahead of his own wants and needs. 🥲

Carola S

I think many of us feel frustrated with Arashi because she interferes with Souta and Nao’s development. She unintentionally broke the hope Souta was beginning to develop, simply by being a girl who likes Nao and seems to have a chance with him. Since we see the story from Souta’s perspective, we also see how he feels about Arashi. He doesn’t hate her, but it hurts him when she’s around. If Nao and Arashi end up dating or another misunderstanding occurs, Keisuke’s prediction of heartbreak is a very real possibility. Since we see Arashi from Souta’s perspective, we see that she barely knows Nao, she is very much thinking of herself, means well, but doesn’t have to work very hard to get attention or to be seen as a girlfriend, where Souta feels he has to work so hard to care for Nao. Unless it turns out there are things we don’t know, we can only see Arashi from one side, really.

nitbit

i can’t get over the heart with inoue’s words 😭 that girl is messyyyy i love it sm

Carola S

I live for Keisuke 😆

Carola S

Oh Souta wants his attention, but it seems like he thinks he’s in Nao’s way 🥺

Kaila

Oh thank god

So'

Thank youuu!! :)

Diamond

Yea I’m having the same issue. I won’t get the notification for a couple days after the update

charlie

i'm also having that issue! i get them sometimes but not consistently. or i get it late

Iona

Haha yes I do understand! I just want Souta and Nao to meet other LGBTQ peeps 🥰I have a very precise idea of who is the other couple 🤫 and definitely ADORE THEM. I hope it’s theeeeem! 🤭 But imho they are straight.

Sweetish

I’m not sure if this is for me or not😓 But, hopefully I cleared the misunderstanding in the first reply. I wouldn’t consider myself a fan of the bl community, as IDCC is about the only BL I read. Mainly, I read and enjoy girls love as I’m a lesbian and I would never want to come off as condescending to any female characters. So sorry if it came off any other way! I mean no ill intent towards Arashi! In fact, I quite love her personality and character design:)

Tryagain

Omg please be happy already 😫

Biscuit

Hey Guys~! Sorry this is off topic, but question! Is anyone getting the push notification from Patreon when there is an update? I use to get them when Aina updates but I haven’t been getting them for the last 2-3 weeks. I checked my settings and it’s set to receive them. Just curious if anyone else is having this issue, or it’s just me and I’m the problem lol 🥹😅

lulu

That’s objectively wrong. Arashi has shown zero ill intent towards anyone. She isn’t being inconsiderate, she’s constantly thanking Souta for his help and support with Nao. The reason WHY she isn’t picking up on Souta’s feelings, is because Souta is actively lying and encouraging her, giving her advice and stuff Nao does and doesn’t like. And even though she is a little selfish, that doesn’t make her a horrible vindictive person. Your characterization of her only contributes the constant misogyny in the bl community. She is not a threat to our pair because it is evidently clear the feelings are mutual, you as a fan should know this.

procra

I am so naive, I thought that they were helping Souta 😅 But whatever, I am happy and feeling appease 😌

Hermione

Yeah that part was so heartbreaking. Aina said that there is one more couple to introduce on the side. I hope they’re LGBTQ so that Souta can see that side and realize that his feelings are okay. Right now, it feels like he’s shooting himself down.

Hermione

Yeah but the bottom line is that we hope Arashi gets character development. The way she’s acting is unacceptable because Inoue is a girl that has had a crush on Nao for FAR longer than Arashi and Inoue doesn’t act like this. Hope Arashi realizes her behavior and becomes more considerate. Maybe that is the point of this whole amusement park? For Arashi to be around Nao’s friends and take a step back. For her to see Nao hanging out with them, having fun and realizing that she needs to treat his friends better.

Hermione

Nao looks SERIOUS! He is not messing around when it comes to Souta’s feelings and I love it!

Milo

HAHAH I LOVE THEM

DearNeptune!

Yes, join me again on the hopeful side. 😌 It's like an oven that takes a bit to warm up. But when it's hot, it's roaring like a fire.

Carleigh

Oooh. I forgot about that comment. Thank you!

Iona

At the end of last chapter, Aina said: " Remember when Inoue said she's respectfully step back? Well, guess she LIED, lol " Sooo even tho I headcanon her as beginning to understand I actually think it’s what Mo just said.

Iona

(And I definitely love her for that OBVIOUSLY it should go without being said)

Iona

Yeah after Arashi being a trigger of "omg I’m a boy", I really feel like he’s tamed his behavior af. I think that part is so fucking realistic it’s triggering me. Aina is an extremely talented manipulator of emotions 😩

Iona

Neptune, I think it’s our comfort finally arriving!! I hope you had an ok trip on this miscommunication arc (twas so hard😭) I’m coming back to the trusting team. I trust again finally! It feels like it’s been months since I haven’t had trust in the story to get better 😭 (totally has been) I don’t think we’re completely done with angst cause the boys have some work to do now, but I finally see the end of the tunnel cause at least their self-destruction isn’t possible anymore with the Takeo Inoue Keisuke unit.

Iona

I HOPE he talks some good sense in his head!!

Iona

Oooo it’s been a while since I saw you’re name in the comments! Welcome back! And yeah I fully agree omg!! Souta’s face in the first panel really shocked me, the art has matured so beautifully 🥰🥰

lulu

Haha those r minors

Sweetish

LOL FRFR

ZimzalabimHYLT

I live for Keisuke clocking everyone's tea. OUR KING FR

VANNA

That's so true.. 🫠🥰

Sweetish

PLEASE KEISUKE

PikasGirlfriend (•bruh•)

Maybe Keisuke will speak up and say he wants to go with Takeo to get Naota together👀

PikasGirlfriend (•bruh•)

Same but it would be funny

mixhelle

I actually love how clear it is, that Nao wants to spend time with Souta 🤭 except for Souta 😭

Laura

YES INOUE

Raven

wow everyone except the guy he likes wants his attention

Elisse

Part of me wonders if Inoue knows that there's something between Souta and Nao, and would rather they get the chance to be together. 🤔 just speculation

_Faust_

Is Nao a pushover with girls ? Like with his first kiss ?

VANNA

You guys, I read it again. Wouldn't it be better if Nao ask the switch to be with Souta 🥰🥰🥰🥰 One can only hope🤣

eemmao

I’m so proud of them

eemmao

YES

Nightsuna

I want arashi and inoue to be friends so bad actually

So'

Sooooo it's been a while since I read this webtoon and put a comment (was dealing with some things anyway ) I want to say that I have the impression that the art is getting prettier every new update ... I love it! Also I love that Nao is checking on Souta ... ❤️ I love it so much thank you Aina !

charlie

i screamed "YES!!!" so loud LMFAOOOO inoue + takeo are really the dynamic duo

Hermione

OMG GUYS IT IS TIME!! SOUTA WILL BE WITH KEISUKE!! KEISUKE WILL SAVE AND COMFORT OUR POOR SOUTA LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES!! TRUST!!

Madeleine

For real! 😭

Madeleine

Lmao! Thanks guys!

Quint James

AT LEAST SOMEBODY IS WORKING FOR GOOD HERE!!

rae of sunshine

takeo and inoue being partners in crime is something i didn't know i needed 😂

Kelee Parker

YES!!!!!!!

MiloticTube

YES INOUE THE BESTIEEE COMING IN CLUTCH MY QUEEEEEN

Sweetish

Wait sorry, this came off wrong. I genuinely don’t dislike Arashi, she’s just driving me a little crazy from an insiders perspective and how she’s affecting the plot☺️ I completely understand that from an outsiders perspective, she’s genuinely just blinded by her crush. Although I wish she’d be more considerate, I also have to keep in mind she’s probably blinded by her crush. Which, I think is why I wish so bad she doesn’t get hurt and can get some good character development:) Sorry if I came off any other way! I think I’m just salty, cause I love her personality and character design and would love for her to be a genuine friend to Nao since they have so much in common ☺️

Veiwan

Bro we all read the comic, we know she’s a young girl with a crush. Is sweetish just supposed to like all female characters with crushes no matter what now😒 bffr she’s just stating her opinion and she did so rather nicely stop defending what isn’t being attacked😒😒😒

Veiwan

HELPPP LMFAO INOUE

Ari Yez

I Love them so much

ALICE

Inoue is best girl

Chip Bianco

I love her

Rachel Winters

Yes, same. Also, awesome shark picture.

Rachel Winters

I don’t buy that. She’s a girl with a crush, but have you never met a mean girl?! That’s what Arashi is. She is a mean girl who definitely does things with ill intent or with the intention to get her way no matter what. We learned from Inoua that Arashi blatantly said in their class, that she was claiming/calling dibs on Nao and is going to do whatever it takes to make him hers. That is a bonafide mean girl behavior/attitude. This whole excusing her bad behavior just cause she has a crush is not okay. Souta is full on in love with Nao but he is a decent person who actually cares about Nao and his feelings unlike Arashi who only cares about herself and getting what she wants. Having a crush is no excuse for being a mean selfish rude person. Stop excusing Arashi’s selfish bad behavior just because she has a crush!

MsNutLover

You guys, I thought it was Saturday today and I'm so glad it's Thursday 😭 is it too much to ask for Souta to chime in and say "no I'm riding Nao- I mean with Nao!" 🤣 also, the way Keisuke sees through everyone is hilarious

VANNA

Omg I've never loved them more than RIGHT NOW.. haha But can they switch so that Nao and Souta enjoy the ride together? 🥲😅

Hannah

inoue my queen , u are the souta protector nowadays

Rachel Winters

Lol! I love that their motives are just too obvious, but definitely think it is well deserved and as a forever single I would be right there with them. Plus it saves Souta from having to see Nao with his love rival for a bit. Although I think Nao would rather spend more time with Souta. Makes me happy to see him care so much. Hopefully we’ll get a real confession between the two of them soon.

Ethan H.

There is something to be said about not being up to date. The waiting is a killer. /sigh

ableaelle

HAHA

Ashamed.

Well... i accidentally spent five dollars i didnt mean to spend cause i didnt realize my time was up, but itll be worth it im sure, im pretty damn invested

Bella

CLUTCJ

Pau

Yes! Inoue to the rescue!

Silencio

Keisuke is just there like 👁👄👁

Carleigh

I feel like the expectations of society with homosexuals is what's knocking him down

Carleigh

Oh! I never thought that him suppressing his own emotions would make it where he's able to read sadness from others. I like that idea!

Carleigh

Oooh thank you

Silencio

It's what Keisuke is thinking :)

Mafuyama

NAO, SPEAK UP AND SAY, “NAOR, I WANNA RIDE WITH SOUTA!”

Charlie

It's a fun combo for sure😂 wonder what other mischievous things they'll do🤣

DearNeptune!

The chain of everybody grabbing somebody to keep them from being with someone else is hilarious. Am I finally getting the Midnight Summer's dream moment? I do believe so. 😌

Carleigh

Got it! I thought Inoue kinda had an idea that Souta liked him so I was unsure who I'd be

Yoshimiya Haru

I think Nao is still blind to Arashi's intentions... he's never been interested in her but as friend. Believe it!

Kass

i think it might be more of her knowing soutas bothered and she might be trying to help🤷🏼. i think the "love rival" title is more showing what the others might be thinking

Kass

i do get being annoyed with arashi but u also have to remember shes a young girl with a crush. she doesnt do anything with ill intent, tho it can sometimes be a bit selfish. she doesnt know that what shes doing is hurting someone

churrry

whole time nao wanted to ride with souta 😫 see how he looked at him when she asked??? exactly

DearNeptune!

I'm enjoying this so much. 🤣🤣

Dragon Fan

ITS SO FUNNY THAT EVERYONE BUT ARASHI AND SOUTA ARE AGAINST ARASHI TAKING UP NAO'S TIME LMFAO

TaySteeg

The expression on Nao's face is interesting when he looks at Arashi after trying to talk to Souta. It's almost like he's piecing together that she's involved with what's upsetting Souta. He's definitely not buying that Souta is just tired. He's too used to burying his own emotions to not recognize Souta doing the same and Arashi being the common denominator for when he's doing it.

Dragon Fan

Sweet kiddos coming in clutch <3 I love Inoue lmfao

SnowWrite

Keisuke 😂😂😂

Sweetish

Hasn’t he always been? Lol, poor Keisuke

Sweetish

Listen, I’ve tried everything up to this point to try and tolerate Arashi, but I can’t do it anymore 😭😭 She drives me crazy. (Not that she can’t have character development though and become a good friend to Nao) also!! I love how Inoue referred to Arashi by her given name even tho Nao still won’t LMFAO. I love Inoue so much, it’s so fun to see someone as nice as her being passive for once haha!💖

drunk kitten

at least one of the two (between inoue and souta) still has willpower 😭 souta is like a plastic bag being blown away by the wind at this point in the arc, poor guy

Kazemi / かぜみ

That aside, SOUTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHO ARE YOU FOOLINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Pandyakuza

Keisuke is the only braincell of the party for now ! 😂😂😂

Nikki Crumbley

Omg I love those guys. Yessss mess things up for her. It’s souta and nao all the way.

Carleigh

Got it! It seems like she was giving up on the crush earlier so it threw me off a bit

Iona

I hope not 🥲

Mo

that’s what i think. i think she’s still hung up on Nao a bit and just doesn’t wanna see him dating while she’s trying to heal from his rejection

Poppy Jasper

Best wingmen/lady ever

Cyan134

WE LOVE OUR UNINTENTIONAL WINGMAN AND WINGWOMAN

Iona

Who? takeo and Inoue? Yes for sure /j

Carleigh

Is Inoue saying Arashi is a love rival for herself?

PriM

Inoue has my ❤

Zarrytan

Souta is too selfless to actually share why he's feeling down, however, I do appreciate Nao taking initiative in trying to find out more. And although she did it for herself, Inoue keeps interjecting when she is needed the most 🤭

Martha M

Inoue x Arashi in love with each other (canon)

Bushclam

YES WE’RE SO BACK 🙏

Maki na łące

Ahh Inoue, the girl that you are 👏👏👏

Tink

I love Keisuke hahaha! And all of them for just shuffling everyone around! But oh no! Souta and Nao just wanna hang out!!!

Anacota

Kazemi / かぜみ

Inoue and Takeo are the wingwoman/man we don’t deserve but the ones we need. Bless them 🤣

Leta

Tricia Stewart

Who cares if it is obvious thank goodness!

PikasGirlfriend (•bruh•)

A fun(?) twist would be if Inoue and Arashi actually become friends bc of this HAHAHA

thedistortedeye

I desperately want Inoue and Takeo to be besties now lmao

Iona

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAIFOSHFISKGHSKFB INOUE I LOVE YOU MY BELOVED SAVIOR MAY YOU BE CANONIZED AND SANCTIFIED AND LOVED AND ADORED AND Omggggg guys did you see??? Nao’s still not buy it right??? Omg I love it I literally yelled and it’s 1am.
