Hermione

Yesss I agree!! Souta should just to see that there are other people who do feel attracted to the same sex. Right now, he hasn’t seen any of that and I feel like it is affecting his confidence in some way. I want him to see that it is valid to love Nao in that regard even if he might not feel the same way (even though he does/will).

Hermione

Wow you can see the sadness and fear of Souta leaving in Nao’s eyes when he asks him why he’s leaving. He really wants to spend time with himmm

That Ranting Girl

I do think Arashi was being a bit insensitive? But to be fair she doesn’t really know Souta, but to be even more fair she kinda brushed aside his attempt to connect with her😭 This part’s made me realize I really do want Souta to meet other queer people, I think it’ll really help his confidence if he did

Hannah

Nao needs better boundaries if he even regards souta as a friend. Nao said that it had been a while since they hung out, and didn’t really consider how Souta would feel having a stranger join them. And goes as far as ignoring him during their hangout. Souta doesn’t deserve the disrespect and it reminds me when I felt left out by my friends who did these things. It hurts to see this and they really gotta talk things out, Souta too about why he has his job because it’s a big thing to hide

Rishi

BROO HE’S SELF ISOLATING😭 (he’s just like me😍)

pumpkin

NNNNOOOOOOOOOO

JH

Nao appears oblivious to what is happening. I do not blame Souta or even the girl, it was Nao that messed things up. Hopefully he will eventually figure it out.

Birdie

It’s hard not to read her actions as insensitive but she may also just be clueless and we haven’t taken into account that she may have some sort of condition that affects her ability to read social cues and whatnot. I’m just trying to be understanding I guess?

VANNA

Noo, Nao could you please just follow him. A storm is happening in his mind haha he needs you right now. Maybe not to confess but to feel like you're there.

AJ Mason

Souta is me.. I am souta 😔

Tina Gomez

First off, bish don't act like you were involving him in anything so don't be like "looks like it's just you and me then," when were you acknowledging Souta at all?! Second, Souta my boy, you haven't met fujoshi or fudanshi...we are always coupling same/similar sex people!!🥰 Souta needs to meet maybe another bi/gay guy or something to see that his relationship with Nao is possible🥺🤞🏼🙏🏼

PikasGirlfriend (•bruh•)

Hita

Mafuyama

OMFG IT STILL HURTS

Jackyjams

LITERALLY UR SO REAL

Jackyjams

Bro im actually in tears

Jackyjams

Bro im actually in tears

Atlanas E. Kildarin

That’s so true. All my friend and I have to do is go somewhere together and people automatically think we’re dating or married just because they see a man and a woman spending time together in public without other people. My friend was looking for a new bed-frame and I went with him. The staff person who was helping my friend joking said, “It will be *her* decision what bed-frame you two get” while looking at me. Not sure what I said, but it was basically along the lines of “It will be his bed and we’re not together.”

Elliot Summers

Love those!

Elliot Summers

Go after Souta, Nao! T-T

Ari queenofcolor

Aww my baby

UnicornSwag52

THE WINDOWW BROOOKKEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEE

Dragon Fan

I bought a physical book and it arrived today (all that's left in the world) it's an apocalyptic romance lmfao. But if you're thinking webtoons there are a couple cute ones you could read. "Adding you to my cart" and "our walk home" to name a few

Mads

No because this just makes me sad especially cuz it’s just too real 😭😭

Aisha ,love

Man, the comment about how you’ll never be seen as hanging out with a partner when you’re gay hit too close to home. 🩷

Midnight Mandu

Oh no that just broke my heart 💔

MsNutLover

Nao knows something is up with Souta 🥺

Ellis Meredith

been there honey, c'mon Souta! fight!

Aedyn Ikushima

I feel for Souta 😢 never personally felt like a 3rd wheel in the romantic sense but with family and friends. You feel like it'd just be better if you never tagged along. Nao needs to go after him and talk things out. I wanna hug Souta so bad

_Star_ Flight_

Not me fighting off tears in a waiting room. My heart literally hurts🥲🥲

Mo

what’s the other one? i need something to get my mind off of this one😭

Mafuyama

I JUST READ IT AGAIN AND MY HEART LIIIIIIITERALLY ACHES 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Mafuyama

IT’S HEARTBREAK FRIDAY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Dragon Fan

Dude I'm reading two angst with gay highschoolers at the same time this is unprecedented

Dragon Fan

ALL HE WANTS IS YOU BBG

Honey&Melon

💯 When she raised her eyebrow at Souta leaving abruptly, I was like "Girlie, pls don't act shocked. You ignored him at best and kept snubbing him at worst." I'm trying not to be mean, but could you show some courtesy 😔

Elisse

I... Sad 😢

adzie✨

heteronormativity sucks man!!! 😭

amber

My heart😭💔

N F Palmieri

Say no, Nao

Eden Jay

oh, that window reflection scene is so well done. poor souta ;_; i've been there man. reiterating what i said last week: hitting hard!!! i'm living for the pain but hough. this boy needs some tender loving care. at least a hug. i hope since nao realized souta was constantly walking behind them that he tries to talk to souta about it - whether he goes after him now or gives souta space. hopefully it doesn't end up in shouting matches like old times, but instead ends up genuine talks like new times (like the sorts of talking they did after nao lost his mom and showed up at souta's place, given i know that was after the shouting/anger, but maybe they can make progress on doing that without yelling first). once again, thank u for the lovely writing and pain, aina!

Dylan

Literally so sad rn😭😭😭

Ana Carolina Silva

NOW I'M SAD

Francisca Huenchuman

Ohmygosh:( quiero llorar 😭 Se me ha roto el corazón con lo último 💔😭

Hatterandahare

Hello friend yes me too

sleeption

Souta please don't do this to yourself 😞💔 this is so well done and heartbreaking

ISA!!

comfort character is hitting hard rn 😣

ISA!!

i love chapters like these in bl or gl where it seems like the world isn't made for same sex couples. It's so real and i love them so much because i constantly have this same thought. Don't worry Souta your not alone

eemmao

GO GET HIM OH MY GOD

BK

This is making me emo, but I love how you portray the accurate experience of pining over someone of the same sex :,) 🩷

Nikki Crumbley

I really hope nao realizes something is wrong and doesn’t think souta is trying to get them together because some people might think souta wanted to leave them alone so they could have alone time but I hope nao doesn’t think that. I hope he realizes souta is upset.

Kiki Meowzilla

Nooooo why would you bring this up... sobbing now!

Gabriel Pereira

Nao, please, don't make Souta Sad 😭🙏🏽

Gabriel Pereira

Souta, please, you have to understand that Nao is your man!!

Nefe Takpi

Now to do what any sane person would do and reread the entire webtoon from the beginning.

Laura YUC

Yess omg I need to heal and that would be my medicine

drunk kitten

i want to cry, this is such a common, painful, humiliating realization that makes you feel even more isolated than you already do all the time just for being in the lgbtq community :(

Laura YUC

Yeah I would've dipped before I started crying not gonna cap

Gabriel Pereira

😭😭😭😭😭

Mojo

😭😭😭

ableaelle

when really he's like "but SHE'S the third wheel why are you leaving me" 🥹

EMF

Cr my heart 💔

Jummy Akintola

Ugh, my heart aches soo baddd 💔💔💔. Aina, why you gotta do my boy Souta like that 😭😭😭

kal

look up k.will “please don’t” on youtube. you won’t regret it lmao

jjelly

GAHHHHHH

Milo

My heart is in so much pain. This is such a common experience for any lgbt+ person and especially the wedding attire scene was like a punch into my heart. It would be cool to see the next part in Nao’s perspective and generally his thoughts on how Souta has been acting.

Wtfhp

How much money do I need to pay to see more than this. Is that possible or…. I’ll even take it without the visuals lmao

Ivy

The please don’t frame?

kal

WE GOT THE “PLEASE DONT” FRAME !!!!! 😭😭😭

Tiny Ez

I really don't want to dislike Arashi or make her into a villain but...girly you gotta be aware of what you're doing.

procra

And Im happy that Souta is respecting himself. I love him so much 😭

Ximinnie

And man, heteronormativity really sucks. It really brings back bad memories

Jup1terian

been there, done that

Zosh

ㅠ_ㅠ

Kari Stoltenberg

Naur

Ammy Rosales

The way my heart broke for him in this scene!!!🙁🙁🙁

TaySteeg

If Nao doesn't follow him I'm going to need Souta to have some time alone to heal. The fact that Arashi once again completely dismissed Souta. I don't even want her to stick around. Shoot your shot, let Nao turn you down, and go away.

procra

I believe in Nao, he will refuse Arashi invitation and gonna take care of Souta because he knows 😌🥺

StoryWriterFL

Don't let him just leave..... You were with him before she barged in and took over your guys time

Hector G.

Hmm Nao, I’m glad you picked up he’s been walking behind this whole time but then I’m a bit side eyeing because that means, to me, you’ve been aware all this time. I’ll be watching very closely to see what you decide next homie 😅 I think Souta needs some “me time” where he focuses on himself to find his happy center

Krissy

AHHHHH

McKynzee Pivonka

... dang, Nao, you should havve said that like, at the very beginning!

Goshdarnit

I know 💔

Laura Castrillón

Souta, the reason girls are always seen as love interests is because of sexism and heteronormativity, and it's a fucking negative thing... Ugh, Souta needs to update himself on the lgbt community, because it really sucks to realize how alone you are, but you're not, you just have to look where it matters and not at appearances<3

rae of sunshine

sexuality crisis time 🥲 i can't wait to see souta sad and doubting himself 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

_Faust_

Ok I’m sad.

Beatriz De Almeida

Go after himmmm

Caitlin

😭😭 I have no words, just tears. 💔

Leta

Hdjdkxjddhhdsj NAO GO AFTER HIM 😭😭😭

Jublieejam

My heart broke also when I saw that

Ximinnie

Come on chase him!

Diamond

While this chapter was so heart wrenching 🥲 it was also really really well done. I loved that scene with the wedding clothes. So much was said with just that one scene. Can’t wait to see where this goes and how Nao is gonna react. Souta comforted Nao and got him to a better place, now it’s time for him to do the same

tsunderephant

😭😭 souta’s slow realization that hetero couples are so ingrained in society that he struggles to view himself as an option for nao is so palpable that I could literally feel my own heart break omg…ainaaaa you write subtle emotions so well I’m gonna cry ahhhhh

Ariba Rasool

Nao this is now down to u pookie

Lady Irene

Great job with the window reflection! I feel everyone's pain on this one tho

Maddy ♡

RAHH I CANNOT WAIT ANOTHER WEEK TO FIND OUT WHAT NAO’S GONNA DO 😭😭 Aina please let them be happy soon 😖🙏

Sora

I understand to some it may seem obvious that Nao likes Souta and Souta likes Nao and they should kiss already gaaa! BUT. Its not, they are two japanese highschoolers who live in a conservitive country that frowns upon lgbt couples. Its actaully really commen for gay couples to stay in the closet thier whole lives. Some gay men even take thier sexuallity to thier grave. Its a sad reality that will hopefully change in the future. But just giving you guys context to why they might not be rushing to get together. Plus gay relationships are tricky especially if it's not super obvious that the person you like is gay,bi, or pan. Relationships are messy

Endia K

😭

Zarrytan

I'm going to very intensely judge Nao by his next move. He seemed to have finally picked up that something was off with Souta, so I'm hoping he does something about it. Saouta is very much in his head and his emotions are heavily being guided by what he sees/thinks society accepts as a relationship. Something, or rather someone, needs to prove him wrong.

Veiwan

At least nao has been aware of souta’s distancing😢

MMJD13

In my feelings right now! 😫

Cami

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Tink

SOUTA! Well it looked like he was going to cry in that one panel ugh!!! Nao wants him I know! But I get Souta feeling like a third wheel unfortunately :(
