tbh i think souta and nao both like each other but might think the other likes a girl, remember the episode where they were watching a movie and souta said he wanted to kiss inoue to cover up the fact he wanted to kiss nao? maybe nao thinks he likes her..🤔 the way he looks at souta though is unmistakable
Yaya
I wish we could have some hoghlights from Nao's perspective later on, like a flashback on his feelings during certain core moments. Just thinking abt it makes me fangirl over this plot so hard
Rishi
THE SIGNALS ARE MIXINGGG😍
Birdie
Ok that’s enough angst… I SAID OK! THATS ENOUGH ANGST (to the tune of “that’s enough slices”)
VANNA
You were? with a little face panicking haha What an episode🤣💖👌
So'
Okay I'm 2 weeks late ... I love this so much ... But there is to much angst going on for my bad mental health like bruh! I personally Believe that Nao is mad in love with Souta but he is trying to push his feeling aside since he thinks Souta likes Inoue. And that's why he also enjoy hanging out with others people than Souta lately ... Aaahhh I love and hate this at the same time. Thank you author ...
emms
Nao is fell first fell harder embodied
Faith
I swear and my heart can literally not take this 😭
Dylan
Omg I’m so nervous for the next part😭Aina is really keeping all of us at the edge of our seats 😭😭😭
Lex
Keisuke, I believe.
Norin
There's no doubt in my mind - Souta is Nao's most important person and he loves him. But I'm not sure he knows how to express it, or what he wants, yet. Trying to keep it platonic while also acting on his romantic impulses - that bubble is going to burst...
Zack Quinn
i lose my mindddd thinking about it cuz i agree that nao is more obsessed with souta it’s just we follows soutas narration
Mac
Yes!! even more than Souta imho. I feel as though the possible coming to terms with with his sexuality might be a factor in how Nao navigates things, but Im also thinking he might already know and is comfortable in his sexuality maybe he’s just reserved in showing his feelings to anyone?? If I think too long about this Im gonna get a headache 🫨🫨
Zack Quinn
chat do we think Nao is just as obsessed with Souta, as much as Souta is with him?
Gabriel Pereira
Souta's best friend needs to do something!! (I forgot his name)
Silencio
Thank you for your service Takeo 🫡
Silencio
D'oh! 😔 The "spring time of youth" made me laugh though
Inni💫
Though the tittle of this chapter gives me hope🤞🤞
Inni💫
So much misunderstanding, please comunicate sbdkf 😭
Finny
Wait when was that? :0 I just re-read, was it in one of the Q&As?
Hector G.
True but I’m just referring to the outing. Their planned hangout was taken over and Souta’s outing was when they didn’t have anything planned. Not saying Nao can’t feel anything just saying just as Nao hangs out with his new friend Souta can too regardless of previous comments. But completely understand what you’re saying
Norin
Yeah, you're absolutely right about Souta not getting the attention and appreciation he deserves, and he's thinking poorly about himself as well 💔 I'm not sure Nao wants to be center of attention, but he definitely reacts differently than Souta. I'm looking forward to frowning, jealous Nao and trust that he'll take action not to lose Souta
rin
They look so sad damn 😭🥺
Myri
Dude I have been doing the analysis for 10 hours now hahahahaha
Myri
Probably because Souta doesn’t get so much well deserved attention T-T Everybody liked/likes Nao, even when he was grumpy or rude (he had valid reasons ofc but he was still hard to get along with). But Souta on the other hand, girls don’t seem interested in him and as far as I can tell and remember people used to make fun of him so it’s refreshing to see Nao getting jealous cause he is often the center of attention and for once he is not haha~
Jun ClawsRW
I hope Nao doesn't feel like Souta is leading him on or something;; he knows he used to like Inoue but he doesn't know he has stopped so
Norin
I should probably ask myself why it is so healing to see Nao jealous, while jealous Souta completely breaks my heart
mixhelle
Sometimes I wish I could just jump into this comic and lock these two up in a room until they finally talked about the elephant in the room 😭 They pay so much attention to one another but not in the right moments 🥺 Maybe we’re gonna find out now, if Nao, in the end of chapter „do you want to try it?“, was jealous of Inoue or felt bad, because she told him about her feeling and he still thinks Souta is into her 🤔
Yunice Lennar
This update reminds me of all the TikToks with “She likes a boy, I’m not a boy” song.
maria_yah
But we also need to remember souta has openly told nao he would like to kiss her👀 so jealousy is normal too
Danielle Taylor
That whip around has healed me so much from the last several updates 😭 thank you Aina, bless you 🫶🏻
Tina Gomez
Aina is a Goddess at facial expressions!🤩🥰
Tina Gomez
I love how Nao was the first to say something about Souta going with Inoue, you can definitely tell he's interested😏 can't wait for the next chapter!
Laura
Nao's face after hearing about Inoue😭 Well done with the facial expressions again this update Aina🙏✨️
PikasGirlfriend (•bruh•)
Aina has said we will see them as bfs too! Idk how many arcs tho
Ellis Meredith
my life
Kaitlin Anderson
Oooooohhhhh
curiosoalentar
I hope this does not end with them dating. I want at least two or three arcs with them as boyfriends.
Poppy Jasper
When you read the comic and think if I go to Patreon I can read ahead.. then realize.. You're already here 😅 Aina Palm thank you for a great story and artwork. 'Chefs kiss'
Mads

charlie

Veiwan

Veiwan
IDK HOW TO FEEL SO MANY EMOTIONS
Mafuyama
Bro, I just don’t want there to be more miscommunication and misunderstandings, that’s all. I mean, both of them alrd think that the other ones likes someone else, add this on top of that? CRY ME A DAMN RIVER 😭😭😭
MsNutLover
He's a sad jelly 🥺
Mafuyama
SAME 😭 I’m actually not a huge fan of jealousy arcs coz I just feel like it invites a lot of miscommunication 😭
RAE
Why didn't Nao get put on cleanup duty? at least Souta was still stretching....
Aisha ,love
Omg thanks for reminding us of past events, this comic is long and I totally forgot about that!!
ghibligirlie90
Oop good eye 👀
RAE
didnt we get a hint that there would be a half confession after a fight? or am i misremembering?
ghibligirlie90
YEEEEES AT LAST 😈 LET THE NAO JEALOUSY ARC BEGIN
_Star_ Flight_
Wait, wait, wait! Why didn't Nao get clean up duty too? I call favouritism!😂😂
_Star_ Flight_
"So young, so bitter" 😂😂
_Faust_
Nao please MAKE A MOVE
awkwardlymatt
People are excited for the jealousy, but I’m more worried since I could see Nao’s jealousy manifesting and driving the wedge further by withdrawing instead of confronting, thinking Souta and Inoue are a thing. And Souta interpreting that distance terribly as well. Hoping I’m wrong 🫠
Biscuit
Y’a know, Nao being upset that Souta hung out with Inoue is understandable because of Souta’s blunder on saying he wanted to kiss her. Souta being upset about Arashi is more about him and letting what others said get to him. Nao relationship with Arashi can still be viewed as platonic whereas Souta not so much based on the blunder (from Nao’s POV).
Hannah
maybe nao is obessed with souta as souta is with him 🤡
churrry
a jealous nao?? i’ve been WAITING for this ! 🙏🏽
Finny
I sense another fight coming up 😳
Hector G.
Maybe with this you’ll be able to fully understand why Souta acted the way he did when he chose to leave. Nonetheless I enjoyed this update 😄
Hector G.
Nao just know There’s a difference here. Souta hung out when y’all didn’t have any plans. And no one was being left out. So you’re entitled to feel how you feel Nao, but the situations are different and no third party was hurt during Souta’s ghost tour adventure
jen
pls i wanna see nao get jealous hehehehhehajd
Nikki Crumbley
Omg guys wouldn’t it be so cool if nao gave souta the shoes at the same time souta gave nao the tickets. Then they both realize they like eachother and kiss.
jen
FRRRRnsksjeid
TaySteeg
It's honestly crazy how much time I take to analyze each expression.
Taytorade

Lily
Misunderstandings EVERYWHERE
Zarrytan
The miscommunication and misunderstandinga are killing me 😭 now both Nao and Souta look miserable... I'm seeing no end to their suffering or ours 😮💨
Pikturit
Heteronormativity + Keisuke not knowing = awkward conversation about Inoue

He needs to get jealous. End of story
Nikki Crumbley
Omg noooo now nao gonna get the wrong impression and maybe get jealous…I can just see this is gonna turn into another big misunderstanding and fight…Man souta and nao are never gonna confess their feelings and kiss 😭
Tink
Jealousy??? From Nao??? Hey souta is allowed to platonically hang out with girls too! Souta being hurt, hurts me so it's like YEAH I'm not THAT upset that nao is also a bit jealous now
Alessandra Angiuli
oh this is going to be bad
drunk kitten

drunk kitten

Sandy Shar
No one's said it, but I agree that Keisuke seems more invested in Souta's thing with Inoue than normal....🤭🤔😉
awkwardlymatt
Misunderstandings. Misunderstandings as far as the eye can see
Tiny Ez
NAO GET JEALOUS AND THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Ragpie

Sandy Shar
Keisuke, the things that Souta is hiding from you...
DearNeptune!
Souta looking at Takeo like "Now why am I in this? See, I ain't even do nothing."
Nat
Yeah, I had to stop a bit there just to admire him
McKynzee Pivonka
Definitely cooked. But hopefully it leads to *romantic development*
