THEY WILL FINALLY TALK

MrMonochromatic

When people were guessing Arashi only got her own drink and Nao's 😂

Alis

Omg please use your intuition dude!!! I cannot take it anymore for our main character 😭😭😭

Bubble P

Hopefully but things are tense now 😔

Bubble P

Please 🤝

Bubble P

Yes ❤️‍🩹

Emma

i always feel my heart hurting when you update (that is how much this webtoon means to me fr)😿

Monique Ford

Nao is such a good friend

Bubble P

😔

JH

Nao and Souta just open up and talk honestly to each other.

Rishi

Yayayayaya😝

Tina Gomez

Nao you're the best, thanks for noticing Souta. Now talk 👏🏼 to 👏🏼yo man 👏🏼Souta!👏🏼🥰

Tina Gomez

Ooo good eye!🙌🏼 I was nervous at first too pointing something out before, but Aina appreciated it. Also, we should remember we're kind of her testers on Patreon before releasing it to the rest of the public. So if we see something I'm sure it's super helpful before Aina posts everywhere else🤗

Gegegee

Nao ily.

Tenga

Our king coming in clutch finally

PikasGirlfriend (•bruh•)

I loved it!! Just what i needed🥺❤️

Maki na łące

Exactly!! Souta needs to be reassured he's seen and appreciated. And I hope Nao will be determined enough to make it happen 😭

Guys, yall need to understand that everyone has their own opinion. Some hate Arashi, some like her. It’s really not that deep lmao. She can be pretty pushy which kinda irritates me, but we gotta respect everyone’s opinion lmao. We don’t gotta make a whole fuss about the comment section lmao 😭

binarytrimble

GODDDD, I NEED a few chapters from Nao’s pov 😔

Mac

omigawd yeeeeesssss!!!👏🏽

drunk kitten

while i was angry with arashi before, now that im back after taking about a month off from reading this comic now im upset with NAO, UGH, NO, OF COURSE HE'S NOT OKAY 🙄, if the relationship between the two is now more distant is because he let it happen and if souta is sad is because he ignored him for all this time

Hermione

That would be so funny! I love that!

Pau

That makes a lot of sense!

Ethan H.

I don't know if it's the delirium or the stress of this holiday season, but my brain just made me ask the question: What if Souta is stupid enough to shout his love for Nao while on a rollercoaster? Not suggesting that's an option but a fun image running through my head right now.

Aina Palm

Ohh! Thank you! Don't be nervous, I'm always super grateful for the catches!!! Can't fix it right now but hopefully in the upcoming days

Caleb

I went back to find an update on the Webtoon and while looking, I read a few chapters that I really like. Seeing this after having read those, I have a lot more hope when it comes to Nao and Souta. It's been so obvious in the past that they're infatuated with each other; I find it especially hard to believe that Nao would ever willingly ditch Souta for Arashi. I'm so excited/nervous to see how the upcoming scenes (especially the ferris wheel) play out!! (I am also going to reread the entire series and hope that builds up even more anticipation)

lenawithapen

Totally agree! We all know Souta is going to tell Nao he's fine. I just hope Nao realizes that this guy needs a push and doesn't just let him off the hook.

Nicolette

I really feel for Souta, and you can tell Nao senses something is off with him. I’m glad he’s pulling him aside to talk to him, but I have a feeling that Souta is going to lie and say he’s fine. I know a lot of people have been saying this, but I want them together already. Ugghh, this angst is killing me. (In a good way. Maybe. 😉) Also, I just noticed that Souta’s shirt isn’t colored in the last couple of panels. Aina, I love your work and this story. ❤️ I’m always hesitant to share when I notice something, but I know you appreciate the catches.

Kyndo

😫😫😫

Raven

C#12: Stand by me

Ethan H.

You know it, I know it, Aina knows it. The only person who can't predict it is Nao and that alone intensifies my internal screaming by at least three ticks.

_Star_ Flight_

I didn't notice the drink in Souta's pocket at first, so for a moment I thought he got a drink for everyone except himself, which would've been so like him😭😭. (He also could've just not been thirsty, but still!!😭😭)

ZimzalabimHYLT

This man is gonna LIE and says he's good on my soul.

Zosh

I'VE BEEN HOLDING MY BREATH FOR WEEKS

Sophia zielinsky

PLEASE ELABORATE

Sweetish

I love how something as mundane as “you okay?” Makes us all overjoyed because all we’re subjected too is constant torture and angst /affectionate

Rachel Winters

😍😍😍😍😍

Elisa🩷💜💙

Do you mean stand by me?😅 I forgor 😂

c h e r r y c o l a

THE LORD HAS DONE IT FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY OMG

charlie

love this take, i didnt think of it like that but you're totally right

Ari queenofcolor

Fr I hope our Christmas present is 2 chapters next week 🥹

Ari queenofcolor

Aww

Raven

regardless i’m convinced they’re gonna end up on that ferris wheel with those fireworks because of that song Nao introduced to Souta at the beginning

thedistortedeye

Someone give this poor boy a hug already ;—;

jen

FR HE’S ALWAYS NOTICING SOUTA WHETHER IT BE IN A GROUP SETTING OR A ROOM FILLED WITH PPL HIS ATTENTION IS ALWAYS DRAWN TO HIM🥹🤚 I LOVE THEM SM

jen

no frr i can definitely see a half confession coming from the way things are looking rn…

jen

i third this🤭

Norin

Our prayers have been answered, we got a shirt tug

PikasGirlfriend (•bruh•)

Same😭

PikasGirlfriend (•bruh•)

Agree!

PikasGirlfriend (•bruh•)

FINALLY

lil baby gigglefart

yall arashi NOT THE ENEMY WE FIGHT THE HOMOPHOBES NOT THE QUEENS

lil baby gigglefart

maybe im digging deep but i really love the fact that in some ways arashi parallels souta’s character. like an upbeat “lets go gang” kind of goofy girl. i think that souta’s conflict of “oh he’s a boy and im a boy so we cant be together” makes her role a little ironic. i like to think that how she acts with nao is how souta would act/would want to act with nao if things were different, and all the while its so obvious that nao is still focused on souta despite her attempts like OMG like nao would sacrifice normalcy for souta i cant take it anymore

eemmao

My heart 😭 cmon nao i believe in you!!

Francisca Huenchuman

NIÑOOOOO, ÉL ESTÁ ENAMORADO DE TIIIII😭😭😭😭😭

Kathryn Peterson

Loved it!

Sophia zielinsky

Literally crying now ☹️

Cas

Thank you for that it was awesome

levi!

until next thursday my friends 🫡

Elisse

Pain. Sadness. Heartbreak. Devastation. 😭💔

Sophia zielinsky

I second this

lenawithapen

By the way, I needed a little fluff to get through all the angst. Feel free to check it out if you're in the same boat! https://archiveofourown.org/works/61460611

lenawithapen

Come on, Nao!! Go go go!! We're all counting on you.

Hermione

Just know that you’re not the only one suffering with that cycle. We suffer together

Hermione

I feel like… if there is any chance of there being a half confession in this arc then it HAS to be from Nao. It feels like Aina is building up to it because Nao just wants to spend time with Souta. But because of this whole situation, Souta is going to push Nao away. This will make Nao angry and sad until eventually, Nao admits that he likes spending time with Souta more than Arashi and more than anyone else. I feel like, if we were to get a half confession this would be it. What do you think?

Junai04

Thursday arrives and I run at break-neck speed to this update. I swipe the notification away in an attempt to forget about it and hope the next time I remember it's been weeks and I have multiple updates. But, every week, I fail and I read the update hours later. I obsess over the update for the next 6 days until I finally forget and then BAM! It's Thursday again and it starts all over. ::sigh::

Hermione

Omg manifest it… this would be the amazing!

Ty Waldrop

Trust me I want nothing more than to move past this horrible little girl. I hate that a normal girl with a normal crush is so villianized because she is so obtrusively standing in the boys way. Poor girl doesn't deserve to be hated but I TRULY hate her. 🤣🤣🤣

Lily

Thanks man 😞

MsNutLover

I was hoping Nao would possessively pull Souta aside, corner him, and ask him "Since when do you keep secrets from me?" ☺️

Ty Waldrop

You know he's just gonna say he's fine and this subplot is going to continue to torture us for another 2 chapters.

july

I had the same thought!!! I would kill for it to come from Nao

Ethan H.

"you alright" Now watch as child dodges next panel and is like "yes, clearly you've gone mad with empathy" and Nao will be like "What?" and Souta will be like "what?" and I'll be dreaming of chasing child with a wiffle bat shouting: "TALK ABOUT YOUR DAMN FEELINGS YOU LITTLE SHI-"

GenM

Cautiously optimistic.

sleeption

Nao you are so precious I love you. this feels like "Nao-vision" he's so focused on Souta

Hermione

OMG GUYS IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE THAT NAO’S EYES ARE ON SOUTA THE WHOLE TIME ARASHI APPROACHES EVERYONE! WHEN SHE IS RUNNING TOWARDS EVERYONE THEIR EYES ARE ON HER BUT NAO’S EYES DONT LEAVE SOUTA AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE NEXT PANEL! THIS IS SO CUTE AND I LOVE THEM

VANNA

About damn time... he asked. Hahaha I hope they get a chance to really have a clear conversation.

Hermione

If Souta blows Nao off and continues to be more sad… I can feel the way Nao is going to question Arashi for what that secret is. If he isn’t getting it out of Souta then he will get it out of Arashi.

Elise Panzo

He looks so worried..

Martha M

mini confession is absolutely coming soon I can feel it in my bones but I can’t figure out who it’ll be!! Nao “of course I don’t like her, you idiot!” vs Souta “yes I’m upset, don’t you get it??” etc

TobiShu

SOUTA SAY NO YOU ARE NOT. ;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;

Snoozey Bear

(yes I am- hopefully it works-)

R BRojas

(psst - are we trying the reverse psychology thing here?)

Megan Ferguson

I believe in big brain Nao!!!

StoryWriterFL

No he's not. You have to talk with him. Communicate with him so he can tell you how he feels for you

Silencio

I love your username 😆

Bella

Imma take this as a sign of hope!!😭The fact that Nao noticed something was wrong and actually ASKED what they talked about is a good sign!! Souta’s face tells it all, his mans just needs to use that big brain of his and figure out WHY!!

Ash

Since Christmas is next week, please spoil/gift us and give us a double update next week😭🙏🏽 we’ll love you forever if you do

tsengslonghair

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Silencio

I'm joining in on the prayers 🙋

Silencio

No he's not okay, he just won't admit it 😟

Tricia Stewart

Please tell him you are not ok!

Zarrytan

Finally, a reaction from Nao! I've been holding my breath for this 😮‍💨 I know he's been taking notice of how crestfallen Souta has been lately, so it gives me satisfaction to see him question Souta about it. Now I can only hope Souta doesn't close himself off to him.

Snoozey Bear

Oh I just KNOW Souta's gonna blow him off. Oh and I KNOW Nao is gonna let him.

Tink

Yes finally! But yeah unfortunately he won't tell him the truth because he cares about Nao's happiness ugh!! Why do you have to be so sweet, Souta!!

Leta

YES NAO, KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS, I AM BEGGING FJKDJDJDJDKDND

Maki na łące

Wow, finally ... I've been missing the protective and no bs Nao 😭 He's been distant and passive for too long.

Ari Yez

PLEASE TALK JUST TALK GUYS 😭😭😭

Nat

Arashi thinks she’s being cute to Nao while all she’s doing is making him worried for Souta, it’s incredible how one can be so caught up in their own world that they don't notice things around them. I’m glad Nao seems to be noticing more, although Souta hasn’t been hiding it that well

Hudders

🥺 checking on his love omg

Cara Thereon

I’m curious if he’s going to get him alone and make him talk since he can tell something isn’t right. I hope? I pray??

july

I’ll eat my pants if they don’t communicate

Kazemi / かぜみ

Ah glad he managed to say something. Seems like the question has been on his mind for a while but never to ask. But knowing Souta unfortunately, he’s not gonna answer in a way that either of them will be satisfied with.

jen

fr! hes looks so worriedMAKSND i cant take thisnsm💖

Kaido

Honestly, keep da angst going. Rehehehe. (Crying in the inside from the pain)

Chioma Hadrian

Finally checks up on him after a eternity

churrry

and you already know souta’s not gonna tell him bc pain and suffering!!!!!!!!!!! is what we must go through first

jen

YES NAO!!!!!! TALK TO HIM😭💕💕💕

amanda lavôr

AAAA finally

Ximinnie

Thank you Nao for noticing 😭 Souta needs your attention! Now don’t you dare get away from him when he tries (because he definitely will) to make you get away from him, that self sacrificing dork 😭

Jettah Woolf

Guys…it is happening

Bella

Torture*

Bella

This is TOURTUE

vivi

THANK YOU NAO !! only took like 65 chapters of shooting each other sad glances for him to finally check up on souta

Apple Love

PLEASE TALK TO EACH OTHER 😔😔

Caitlin

And here I am, back for my weekly dose of PAIN 😭😭

Dragon Fan

Fucking take care of him Nao he has not genuinely smiled in a whole chapter

Chip Bianco

I think he's been one step ahead of souta this whole time! In fact, I suspect he's even felt these feelings already when souta told him he has a crush on inouye

saha

i genuinely felt a weight lift from my shoulders

DearNeptune!

NO MORE STARING! NAO'S ONCE AGAIN ABOUT THAT ACTION!

Dragon Fan

I love when the comic gives me the anxious ache in my stomach before I even read it, I long for this comic every Thursday until it appears.

july

that grasp is FIRM

M.E WILSON

NO! No he is not OKAY!!! NAO GIVE YOUR MANS A HUGGGGGGG

Olitri

No Nao, we’re not okay 😭

Milo

Well obviously he gonna say he’s fine and omg that’s gonna hurt to read. If he said he’s not okay he’d be forced to confess or he could say he has a stomach/headache
