Ao no way flag

There will be a lesson to be learned for her as it does for every other character.
The things she says and does has an effect on others and no matter how carefully she tries, there will be times where others will misunderstand or twist the meaning to what she says and does, she can't ignore it this time since everyone involved are people she cares about.

Why is Taichi such a shit friend

Me on the left.

I mean, it's sorta important

I mean there is nothing left after this arc unless something else happens.

Is Mami's friend gay too>

I don't think Touma meant what he said. He was clearly trying to get a rise out of her. He ended up confessing something really difficult to blurt out and others were ganging up on him. He reacted like a cornered animal would.

This arc is the core of the manga, a slice of life with unimportant relationship bullshit about faggots and dykes learning to make peace with their sexuality.

She's not actually the one who said "you can't hit a girl," that was Kensuke. Then Touma throws out this fucking line. That's why Shingo goes off at him. Because the point wasn't that Touma shouldn't hit Mami, it's Touma should feel sorry he accidentally lashed out at his friend. But instead he's spouting off some excuse that it's okay because Mami wanted to be treated the same as everyone else.

The big reveal of this chapter was that Touma is the one who fucking lost and started physically striking out at everyone around him. Not that Kensuke was the paragon of diplomacy, grabbing Touma and getting up in his face, but it's primarily Touma who initiates the actual exchange of blows and doesn't seem to give a shit about any of it. Touma's just looking for reasons at this point to attack people out of frustration and rage. Not that he doesn't have his reasons, but still.

If Taichi had been the one trying to break up the fight and gotten smacked back like that, would what would the reaction be? Or Futaba. And so on.

Attached: 005d.png (146x178, 22K)

That's sort of the point of what Masumi's fears were. When you've been harboring this big secret about who you are and how you view the world, revealing it is scary because you just don't know how people will react. Perhaps more importantly, they don't know how they'll react, the situation likely hasn't even occurred to them as a possibility, and you're probably going to end up in this painful awkward situation where the other party just doesn't know how they should feel any more. And that in it of itself can be enough to hurt you, if you see your friends unable to understand who you truly are. If in an instant their perception of you changes and all those assurances they had about their relationship with you is up ended. Taichi said he would be Touma's ally, but as we see Touma's similar fears were well founded: Taichi simply isn't enough of a saint to be able to instantly accept who Touma is and what his feelings are and proceed on as usual.

He sees Touma as a different person now, a strangers, someone different from the person who he considered his close friend and who had his loyalty. Someone he doesn't know that well after all. So now he's not sure if those same feelings of his apply on his side of the relationship anymore.

Maybe Mami will cut off her friendship with Kensuke? He's not like Mami who is more or less fine it remaining friends with Touma. He constantly tries to win her affection despite outright rejection. He also picks fight as seen when he grabbed Taichi when he thought he made her cry and what happened now

I just thought they were really good friends and he was just upset at him being farther bc of him dating the hamster, just teens being dramatic
Genuinely wouldn't have guess he was gay

He helped Taichi and Futaba get together. He wouldn't be mad about that.

I'm sorry buddy, but you should probably try reading between the lines a bit more. The implications were heavy to begin with and have only gotten heavier over time.

Hell, if you read the official translation, they just outright said it during chapter 5 even though that's almost certainly not a straight translation of the original text.

So do you guys think this is gonna be the final arc? Or will we get 1-2 more after this? This is what the entire story has been building up to, but I could see one more arc after they reconcile that's about them graduating and preparing for their lives after highschool.

Good commentary.

Yeah it'll probably end at graduation

Reconciliation, maybe something dealing with Masumi/Futaba, and something dealing with Taichi/Futaba's future.

>goes to any lengths to make you feel happy and accepted

I mean the story is rapidly approaching the end of the year. Unless it continues past highschool, there really isn't much left to happen

It'll either end at graduation or go into college and have drama about long-distance relationships and all the cheating that comes with them

He's doing that now by meeting Shingo and Kensuke, you know people that were actually in the room.

dude...

Attached: x19.png (1914x1400, 2.74M)

college years are kino romance material

i thought his injury wasn't permanent and he could still play ball

They had to convince him to come, he didn't try to do shit prior this which already makes him a shitty friend

It is a first step sure, but he nearly didn't go. It wasn't until Kensuke literally asked him over the phone to come that he decided to go. He's been doing his best over the past few days to talk to nobody about it, and when the two girls asked him to come talk to kensuke and shingo, he didn't even say anything, he just sat there and let mushroom talk for him. They were about to give up and leave before Kensuke called.

So yeah, him going to the meeting is a good step, but before that he's been completely spineless about the whole thing.

Mami is STILL not Touma's friend. Touma doesn't like her.

I mean I knew he's been gay for taichi from the start, but I think I missed this. Were these two pages in the same chapter? I wanna know how dense I am.

How the hell would you know if he is gay from the start when you missed this fucking page? Jesus christ.

I think Touma is ambivalent towards her. He doesn't care for her constant attempts to woo him, but I don't think he exactly dislikes her either.

If he did, he'd have little reason to not just outright reject her.

It was Shingo that invited but yes. He has to start somewhere.

Because this page I assuming happened after his conversation with Masumi where it was almost explicitly stated he's gay?

>I wanna know how dense I am.
Reread the whole manga with your newfound knowledge, because Touma is literally dripping with homolust since the beginning.

He really beat up Shingo and Kensuke pretty hard compared to how Touma looked a day after the incident

Well he's fucking huge compared to everyone. He even towers over the other baseball team members.

if touma would just get a bishie hairstyle instead of the turbo gay military man look then maybe he's get the girl (male)

Am I misreading her or is Futaba’s lesbian friend the worst character in the series?

You're the one sperging out about this dude. I said I got it from the beginning, I just missed that one bit about Taichi wanting something home made.

She one of the best.

I hope the baseball team still has his back.

Futaba is the worst. Dyke is only hatable at first because she starts the series as a massive, possessive cunt.

Also in case that's what you are thinking, I'm not

>Futaba
You misspelled Kensuke

Maybe that is why I don’t like her, I’m around 1/2 through

Kensuke isn't even the worst. He is an idiot, sure, but at least he is entertaining.

It's a baseball team they already know

Einosuke will win Toumaball.

Wouldn't be the worst end. Would be a little contrived though.

i dont follow this manga but this thread gives me vietnam flashbacks
i used to be part of a super bro-dude group at one time and we used to do gay chicken race type shit
until we unknowingly had a gay/bi dude with us and he tried to get me to go home with him to fuck, needless to say i dont joke around with gay shit anymore shit can send the wrong signals and get you nearly date raped man
also whats up with gay people not being to accept someone being straight?

If it's a random out of the blue announcement after a timeskip that Touma and Einosuke are together, sure, but if they get any shared scenes together in the future chapters, nothing contrived about it. Though that's possibly unlikely since the manga will keep it's focus solely on Taichi and Touma.

People still debated after chapter 5 simply because the translation didn't completely and explicitly say it.

Hell, only the chapter from 2 months ago is really enough to stop the debate once and for all since Touma finally explicitly says it.

yeah, she's much better now but she was very aggressive at the start. i suppose dating guys she never liked and breaking up with them is pretty bad

Touma fucked up shoving Mami that hard and then intentionally warping her words, I can understand why best boy would get involved at that point

I get that he was agitated from his fight with Cucksuke but he shouldn't have talked shit afterwards

There was nothing wrong with Touma pushing Mami back, as she was grabbing him, and he DID tell her to stop, but she didn't listen. She got what she deserved on that regard.

If it was a dude getting pushed back, none of ya'll would be sperging out about this so much.

He's a the biggest and probably strongest guy at the school, he could probably wrench his arm away from her if he really wanted to. Instead he pushed her rather forcefully into some desks, which could have hurt her.
If she had joined the fight, thrown a punch at him or something, then yeah what he did might have been justified. But she just wanted to separate them and stop the fight.

And hell, if all he had done was just push her, then that would have been one thing. But then twisted her words back at her for little reason other than to be cruel. He could have just said "I told her to get off me, she didn't, so I pushed her"

This, I don't understand how people see this as "Mami wanting to be like a man, but refusing to to beaten up as equals" or some ridiculous shit. This makes me wonder if people in these threads are legit retarded.
Best boy didn't even start acting because Mami is uguu cute girl who was shoved.
And Mami was only trying to stop the fight since calling any teacher and leaving them on their own would've led to the shit we have now, and she only tried to prevent that from happening and stop the fight.

I'm not trying to justify that everything Touma did was right, but I also completely understand why he was defensive, and I understand his actions.

You got one of your friends attacking you for being gay, you got one just staring silently, and one is trying to separate you from the person who attacked you, as if you are the perpetrator and the issue here.

There was no one there to have his back, and that's how he has been feeling for a long while. There was no one there to take his side. Even if Mami had the intention of being supportive, the way she initially tried to stop the fight, Touma would think in the heat of the moment, in the heat of a fight, that Mami is implying that he is the issue, while he is trying to stand up for himself.

Touma was going to explode sooner or later

I think this guy is living an admirable life, he chose the happiness of his mother and others over his own, sure he'll never be "himself" but for some people that's not a choice they can make without having others suffer for it.

He didn't twist her words at all. The reasoning of why he can violently confront her has the same exact reasoning for why nobody should care about her friendships with guys. It's just that she never actually thought about, which is why she had nothing to say in response. Now that her reasoning has been used in an unexpected way, she will have to critically think about it other than going "everyone else is just stupid" or being validated.

Because living a lie never lead to any issues that then manifested as abusive, unhealthy behavior towards the people around you, right?

Living a lie doesn't always lead to such results.

His mom was a psychotic bitch who forced him to sacrifice his happiness for her own satisfaction. She won't live forever and in case he doesn't off himself soon, he'll have to keep living a lie forever. And have you seen how he looked in the ending? He wanted to be put out of his misery

And we can determine whether that's the case after he has lived his life. Right now he is in the fast lane towards resenting his wife, not fulfilling her emotional and sexual needs in the long run, and spending all nights after work hitting on men in nichome, possibly getting drunk of his mind to escape his situation if only for a while.

That's just how parents are, it was a fairly realistic conclusion to the story, not everyone always gets what they need or want. Isn't the idea of someone sacrificing their own happiness for the happiness of others an admirable trait? It's fairly realistic in how it's depicted not as an ideal solution but one that, to him, seemed necessary.

That just seems like you're projecting too much into the story.

Most of the parents aren't psychotic shits who'd force you to fuck a woman and start a family when you're a flaming homo who can't stop thinking about dicks.
It's unfair both to the guy and the woman who will have to live this lie. I bet he probably can't get it up without viagra or thinking about buff dudes. Judging by the last panels with him, even the author agrees.

Attached: ANF.jpg (822x1200, 141K)

>Isn't the idea of someone sacrificing their own happiness for the happiness of others an admirable trait?

Considering he will never love his wife, and his whole relationship is based on a lie that he is attracted to his wife, and the child he has conceived wasn't out of his own want or need, not out of love either, but because of someone elses wishes and wants, then no, I wouldn't call this very admirable because his sacrifice is potentially hurting others around him.

Yeah, Kensuke is such a drama queen.

Based Mami making Touma SNAP because she is a horrendous bitch.

Clearly you've never been in an Asian family in an Asian country.
Gays and stuff are still things very vile to people in the Eastern hemisphere. If I was gay my mother would have a mental breakdown. I've had gay cousins where their parents would simply ignore the reality that's right in their face.

Potentially.
Since this is fiction there's an infinite number of possibilities how things might work out for the guy, it's possible that the man would be so dedicated to his act out of a sense of responsibility out of the happiness of his mother, wife and child that he would life his entire life managing to fool everyone around him. His wife and child might even mistake his personal suffering as the heavy burden of being a male parent and it would somehow twist into a positive impact on them.
I'm not saying it's admirable that he's basically hurting himself inside, I'm saying it's admirable he considers what people around him wants or needs to be more important over his own.

Liking someone and confessing makes you a bitch? Then Touma is one too. Touma looked done for a while before this btw

>as if you are the perpetrator and the issue here.
Touma trashed Kensuke and mounted him, the only way for Mami to attempt to break up the fight is trying to pull him away from Kensuke. The problem isn't him pushing her away, that much is understandable, but his words afterwards.

He could've simply left that village and pursued his happiness in Tokyo, just like the main character did. It wasn't his duty to follow his mother's wishes just because she's a a crazy old asian lady who can't accept her son's homosexuality. And denying your own right to happiness isn't admirable in the least.
You just seem to be projecting here.

are we forgetting that shingo was there and just staring at them fight? it was only when touma twisted mami's words that he punched him

So Touma is the issue in this fight? And that he should have never stood up for himself?

I feel people are mixing the readers reactions, Kensuke/Shingo's reactions and Mami's reaction.
Most readers are whiteknighting her while she herself didn't bother about screaming "FEMICIDE!".

And I would say, Touma wanted to fix his own conflict through Kensuke, he probably wanted to beat the shit out of many people who just joked and mocked homos, and this was his chance. He was projecting his anger issues on him.

But the conflict here is not Touma pushing Mami, but what Kensuke said. That is what pissed off Touma, not Mami playing a woman card in a men fight. Touma already knew him liking guys is bad, and is only a thing that girls can do. What Kensuke said hit him in that meaning, how he is constantly reminded he is forbidden to like, love and do things in certain way because he is a man. I could even say he is jealous of Mami and pissed off a little about her own philosophy of being treated as an "equal" but constantly getting the privilege of a woman and a beautiful/popular person in the process.

>Shingo was there and just staring at them fight
Yeah, that's the correct thing to do.

I am expecting a time skip. Graduation and teens are not the best sets to fix conflicts on this level. I wonder if Touma is going to be able to graduate anyway.

>It wasn't his duty to follow his mother's wishes
He's Japanese, family is very important for them.
Let's play this the other way around, imagine if he left that village and pursued his happiness, the fact is that before he made the decision to stay, he thought of his mother, the person who gave birth to him and raised him, she may not be perfect but she is still his mother.
He would live his life the way he wants to, but he could very possibly be plagued by the thought of ingratitude toward his progenitor. He could be on the path of resenting the life of having chosen to pursue his own needs and making his mother despair over having "lost" a son.

It's vague and disconcerting, it's realistic. There's no true right answer for him and he made the choice he felt was best for him and the people he cared about.

>Gays and stuff are still things very vile to people in the Eastern hemisphere.

Back in the day Japan was very open about gay people before Meiji Restoration ruined it even WW2. To this day gay people are getting accepted in Japan with same-sex certificates on step closer to gay marriage legalize and Taiwan is about legalize it too.

They make a good couple. At least they should donate their eggs and sperm to make the ultimate uberfag.

How many times will people have to explain that Mami didn't play the "female" card, that Touma wasn't at fault for pushing her away but was at fault for knowingly twisting her words around in a deeply hurtful way and that Shingo only got into it because he knew that was over the line before you guys get it?

>Touma totally checking Einosuke
We have some hope!

>he made the choice he felt was best for him
no he did not?

I was spoiled about Touma being homo for Taichi before reading this but scenes like these made me think I got it mixed up and it was Taichi who craved Touma's dick, until chapter 5 of course. But I'm still 70% sure he does, at least a little.

I have a feeling his brother isn't going to behave nicely.

there's a few months left in school right? either Touma returns to school or can he complete the remainder at home? I know his sister in law was a tutor at one point. Either way, he doesn't plan on going to college

Standing up for yourself isn't the same as intentionally misinterpreting Mami's words about wanting to be friends with guys because they are fun to hang out with without wanting to fuck them.

He was completely justified in pushing her away after she wouldn't let go even though he asked her to. He pushed her harder than he intended, probably because of the adrenaline, as evidenced by the panel where even he looked surprised by how far she flew away, The issue is him verbally attacking her and her logic because of something Kensuke did instead of attacking Kensuke.

Make no mistake, being openly gay in Japan is still largely taboo. They're making steps towards it but it will still be a very long time before they embrace anything close to how western nations treats LGBT.

Not entirely, but he explains that he simply cannot live with himself if he has known that he made his mother unhappy.

Are you being deliberately dense? Other user said the issue was that Touma was needlessly cruel to someone who just wanted to break up the fight

How hard is you to get it people is talking about Touma's mindset here and not Mami, Mami is not the main character so ignore her a little.
Touma was having a bad time since forever. He was at a boiling point and he exploded right there in the classroom. Everything he said was about himself and his own shitty place in the world, even those words about Mami, were about how disgusted he is in his own situation, being a male and having to fix shit with a fight. The fact people are more interested in whiteknight Mami than understand Touma is the saddest part of the chapter.

>twisting her words around in a deeply hurtful way
He didn't twist shit. It's only hurtful because her ideals are half-baked and woefully inadequate and can justify something she had never realized until it smacked her into some desks. Throwing her words back at her is the only thing Touma did right this chapter.

The rest of the characters are also Japanese with Japanese moms in a Japanese manga.
Two of the characters came out to their families and surprisingly even got support from their moms, but they still had decided to proceed regardless of their approval. Being japanese doesn't justify his mom's being a psychotic bitch and I'm not even sure if you've read this manga.
The guy literally looks dead inside and he'd probably off himself at some point. It's as far from the right answer as anyone could be

Ah that's the manga with the good end/bad end? Did the other guy turned into a stylist?

>verbally attacking her
you mamifags do the ABSOLUTE most, it's as if Touma called her a useless ugly fat bitch who is a detriment to everyone around her and she should just kill herself.

And regardless of whether what Touma said was unfounded or not, I'm guessing it did make Mami think twice about the point she is trying to convey, and how she really feels about the surrounding world. Hell, maybe she even understands that Touma's comments came from a place of hurt, and that it's not just Mami who is dealing with the pressure of the surrounding society and culture.

Also, people are just interpreting Mami's mindset in their own ways. She is basically asking other people to not feel what they feel for her, to treat her as SHE WANTS TO be treated, while she can just being "herself". So she doesn't leave room to do the same for other people, to deal with them. In her ideal world people should treat her just like how she wants it, that implies "guys I don't like shouldn't like me, but the guy I like should like me and I deserve anyway to be at his side". She is pretty entitled despite how innocent and honest her mindset looks.

The sister in law will obviously be on Touma's side and defend him from the brother and get him to be supportive at the very least.

I didn't say ALL Japanese moms and families are like that, the point is that his mom is like that and he cannot live a life without his mother's approval, psychotic bitch or not.
But the path he chose is not just about him, he's choosing to live for the sake of the people he cares about. It is unfortunate that he had to give up a large part of himself for it but it's the path he chose and as far as the ending showed, he seems to be playing his part properly.

I'm not saying it's a perfect ending for him, just that he has chosen his compromise in life.

Jesus, Mamifags turn everything about her. What Touma says was a reflection of himself not Mami. Yes, she got hurt but probably she understood better how entitled she was being, with some look she is going to stop pretending she is a special snowflake that should be treated different.

Maybe the crap he says here, he managed to achieve, maybe he's stronger.

But it wasn't the same as modern gay life style, it was still expected to get married and have children. It was more in lines with ancient Greek when one had sex with young boys.

He wanted a family, and to him a family was a wife and kids. Even if he was gay, he decided to no look for a male partner but a female one. I don't see this a sacrifice in the sense the romantic love ideal is not always the more important goal in life, as is proved in this case. The other fag was trying to live happily in his ow way, and neither of them were portrayed a "the winner and loser" of some contest about the ideal life.

Yeah, gaybro moved to the city after he came out to his mom. Crossdressing guy’s family called him a disgrace and he wound up marrying a woman, having two kids.

>Directly adresses Mami
>It was about himself
I give up, you win faggots. If Touma wasn't mentally disabled this situation never would've occoured.

He is the loser because he chose to not be himself and looked like he was going to hang himself because of how fake he has become at the end.

If Touma wasn't gay he wouldn't have used his feelings for Taichi to turn down Mami's confesison
If Touma didn't turn down Mami because he was in love with Taichi Kensuke wouldn't have freaked out the way he did
Taichi is entirely innocent in this situation, he didn't ask Touma to fall in love with him.
>But he was born that way
So what? Stop trying to frame him as this perfect being that has done nothing wrong. He fucked up and no matter how much you tell yourself that those words adressed at Mami were actually a self-reflection of himself that doesn't make it true. It's so funny you accuse others of being an xfag when you can't even admit a wrong doing of your favorite character.

I mean I think it's because Seiya was asking Taichi to poke at Touma and ask him about his future and why he won't go to college or something. But, I think Seiya still understands that Taichi is someone important for Touma, and he might have noticed Touma's feelings for Taichi.

Regardless, I'm hoping that even if Touma and Taichi won't end up together, it will at least in a positive note that all the doubts and fears Touma had were more or less unfounded, and that he doesn't have to escape and hide to be accepted by others, that he can live openly as he is amongst his friends and family.

Touma has had enough shit go down in a few months time, one victory, his family's acceptance, would do good for him right about now.

And that is a naive idea.

>imagine being in the middle of those big guys

Or Touma just got jelly his brother can be touchy with Taichi.

Well, gays are not unproductive. They want to reproduce as much as straight people. Even having gays choosing the best eggs of sperms to make babies would favor a new set of kids due to selection. I don't see the problem.

>I don't see the problem.
>want children to grow up without both mother and father
Which leads back to

Goal of humanity is to reproduce, thats evolution. Many cultures raise their children in community or by caretakers (grandmas, grandpas, uncles, aunties), even in the so called urban societies you have fathers and mothers leaving the kids with other people to bring money and food. Even more when there is no father in the picture because the guy just ran off.

you can only say this because you yourself are not gay you are the selfish one

>I'm optimistic Japan will beat this cancer
No user you are the cancer

How do you say WORLDSTAR in Japanese

back to back to tumblrina

back to faggot

???

Japan doesn't have the history of deep-seated hatred towards fags like the Christian West does, so there's no reason why they wouldn't accept faggotry. The real question is why we still tolerate it

>Goal of humanity is to reproduce, thats evolution.
Of course and gay people are willing to do that especially lesbian couples this is why iPS is born.

They definitely donxt care for it because family is like the most important thing in japan.

Bloodlines specifically. You are expected to take care of your parents, get married, have children, and continue the family line. Since gay people won't be having kids of their own blood, that's considered shameful. Even adoption isn't good enough since even being adopted used to be considered a disgrace since you weren't part of the proper bloodline. Same with being a bastard child.

They may not have protests about it in the streets like some do in the west, but you'd be very wrong to think that being gay is very accepted in japan

there are only two way to end this peacefuly.

cured end or rope end

choose wisely touma.

Sure, but it's not the same kind of moral disgust most of the West exhibited towards gays prior to the Orwellian hellscape that is our modern world. Either way, it'll still be taboo in Japan but I doubt anyone there has any nuts to protest anything

The number of Japanese women who prefer to be working and who don't want to get married and have children these days is growing.
But talking about real life japan and Ao no flag isn't the same thing and it only invites retards to the threads.

Where's the link you faggot

Again, adopting someone into the family is not rare. The muh royal blood is more a myth, and people would be happy raising any children. The problem in Japan is not gays or lesbians but the straight people not willing to compromise or make babies.

Who can resist that alpha male?

Only that dumb apathetic homo Taichi.

Well we call each other fag all day and argue who is the gayest
Yea Forums doesn't love gay drama
Yea Forums IS gay drama

This Also, we are little girls.

They all should have a wrestling session to heal each other.

I can't believe there are people defending the girl in this situation
Unironic fedoras on fucking Yea Forums

I thought Japan had this weird thing about adopting planned successors for your firm rather than giving it to your children.

But she did literally nothing wrong you incel. She just tried to break the fight up. Kensuke and shingo were the one's who brought up that she was a girl.

Kensuke is the fedora one and the followers here are retarded. But Mami herself didn't do anything wrong.

Except people are defending the fedora action and saying the nice guy jumping in for her was the right action
Mami herself apparently agrees that she should have both.

Mami realized immediately she wasn't able to stop them, she even asked Shingo to do something but he didnt even bother to explain why he just stare at them. Thats why Mami approached. Shiingo could have say "lets them settle this right now" or "is not a good idea to negotiate with hotheads".

I really believe the story is that we are meant to agree with "that is not what she meant"
If I am wrong and she goes "he was right" then fair enough I am the asshole
but I don't see it

The gays in this manga didn't force the heteros to anything at all, they just suffer quietly (until recently

Did he kidnap you and make you have butt sex? No. He just tried to find if you were into that and you clearly say no. Whats the drama. Is like you trying to get into some girl's pants and she just saying no and leaving you and later making big drama on social media.
In short: don't be a pussy.

Of course that's the case. Anyone saying otherwise is a fool.
>She wants to be able to have platonic relationships with guys that means it's okay for guy to beat her up too hurrrr

She wants to be treated and not treated like a guy.
That is really retarded.

despite knowing the type of drama she might cause, she tried to befriend Taichi. Even Shingo warned her to stop since he's in a new relationship with Futaba. How many relationships ended because she just wanted to be friends? Lets not forget she acted like a bitch to those other girls

Attached: Ao no flag ending approved by Abe.png (541x466, 310K)

people really hate the idea of gays being happy in same sex relationships, huh

I think it's more that they are both the most attractive characters in the manga and they would produce amazing offspring.

I really hate how alone Touma is right now. Nobody's really come to his aide in all of this. I hope that changes soon.

Taichi is shit. The dude almost died saving his ass, yet he abandons him the moment he confessed

I suspect it will in the next few chapters

He really is. I understand that he's not going to immediately be able to process everything with Touma and his feelings on it but the absolute lack of care and disregard he had for Touma this chapter was infuriating. Shingo basically had to beg for him to come over and hear him out.

Which makes the situation even worse and Touma is hurt even more because of that. Since the only reason he's acting like that is because Touma is a homo.
If it were a female childhood friend he would've been flustered at best.
I hope Touma didn't off himself while everyone was begging Taichi to give a fuck.

How long has it even been? Do we have any reference to time pasts since he confessed?

What is the right option then?
Offering your ass to be buttfucked?
Friendzoning him?
Sorry but when you confess you risk the friendship.

He is in the same position when he was talking about the cat with Touma's brother. I remember him telling Futaba later (or before?), how he wanted to be able to do something to avoid someone to die. I bet is going to have some call about it, and for first time he is a position of really helping someone, not only play brave hero for a second, and he needs to realize it.

I mean I had a friend confess to me back in high school, I rejected him and even though obviously the relationship was never the same we still hung out sometimes and he knew I had his back on whatever he needed. Obviously this changes from person to person but considering Touma literally saved his life and they've known each other ever since they were kids you'd expect him to do something better than: "completely cut him off and don't even try to contact him while not even replying to the confession"

Taichi is pretty realistic here. Is not easy to react to this situation. Also, what is he going to do? "Hey buddy, lets be friends and disregard the fact you want to fuck me and I want to fuck a girl". Things doesn't work that way, something more than LOL NAKAMAS was broken in the process, and Touma knows it, thats a big reason he was so adamant to confess.

Its simply not nice to lead someone on and even give them the option of further friendship
It might come from a good place but you are essentially saying you want the relationship that works for you but is painful for the other
I think its shitty when women do it to betas and its just as shitty when men do it to other men.
The nicest thing you can do is cut the relationship off.

Telling Touma that he needs time to think if he's confused; rejecting Touma if Tai doesn't feel anything for him, but still trying to find out what happened and supporting Touma as his friend? It's not like the guy did something horrible, blackmailed Taichi into offering his ass or tried to rape him.
Leaving Touma on his own and just minding his business when he knows that his friend is going though something hard makes Taichi shit

Taichi should've rejected him and tried to still be friends and talk about it, you will see in the next chapters when they eventually talk, Taichi Is just being dramatic rn

Touma saved his life because IT WAS TAICHI. With the love confession, his sacrifice is seeing different right now. Everything Touma did, does and will do is going to be seen in a different way. That's the entire point, the actions have a different meaning. When someone really loves yo and you have a strong bond with that person but can return back the same feelings, is not easy, you question yourself, and the other person too, wishes those feelings weren't there because can't be returned, and is frustrating.
Maybe in your case it worked, but you admited it changed the relation with your friend.

>and supporting Touma as his friend
How is that not cruel?

Again how long has it been since Touma confessed? It seems like maybe a couple of days? It's fucked with this being released around once a month but for real what is the time frame? If it's been weeks or some shit then yes Taichi has a terrible friend. If it's only been a few days it's all quite reasonable.

...are you posting for the sake of posting?

You guys have friends? Relations doesn't work that easy. You are not in an Otome game.

Probably a week. I mean, if there were months, I would feel Taichi is being a dick, but things are not solved magically, people need time.

i don't think more than two days have passed

I don't think cutting the relationship off is always the option, what I did was tell him in no unclear terms that I wasn't interested in him in that way but that I'd always be there for him, and that it was his choice to decide how our friendship would move forward since he was the rejected one, which is how we ended up with a less close friendship where he knew that if he needed something I'd be there to help out. I agree that basically forcing down the relationship that works for the person doing the rejection would be awful, but I don't think it's an either/or situation either, as with most things in relationships, it depends on the people directly involved in it..

There is no easy answer to this, but your best friend, your dear childhood friend, who potentially saved your life, DESERVES some fucking respect.

Taichi could at least have the fucking courage and decency to hear him out, make him talk, and offer a pair of ears. Taichi could have the courage to tell him how he himself feels, ask for clarification, support his coming out even if he has no interest in him, thank him for his confession, ESPECIALLY when Touma had the courage to confess to him.

And if you are unable to man up, then at least say so, say to Touma that hey, I need time to process this, but we will talk about it further when I am ready, I am promise.

But no, he decides to mope, and even lash out on his girlfriend. It's infuriating. A man who saved your fucking life deserves better.

Do you realize all of those things need time to be given honestly? Otherwise you are just being a hypocrite.

Right. It feels to us like this has dragged on and on because of the release schedule but that might not be the case at all.

Less than a day. Touma confessed the night before, then Taichi got the call from Futaba as soon as he got home, half past 8pm. The next day he was approached by Touma's friends after school.

Attached: 1793700528263.jpg (1080x1577, 251K)

Cutting off contact is the biggest sign of respect
If taichi never talks to him again then he is doing well.

Touma is Taichi's best friend. Touma has been there for him countless times and even risked his life to save him. Despite this Taichi can't even act like he gives a single shit about him being in deep shit and is acting like it doesn't concern him. When your friend is suffering it DOES concern you because that's what friends do.

Again, it's understandable that Taichi doesn't know how to process Touma being in love with him but he is acting like all the years of friendship with Touma mean nothing in light of this.

youre forgetting the context of that scene. He told Taichi to find something out about Touma

Of course that's much worse than leaving your emo homo friend on his own when you know he's already struggling with something and just had a "coming out" about which everyone knows about.
Not going to blogpost but you can be friends with someone you rejected, sorry it didn't work out for you.

Well there you go. Taichi isn't being a prick at all. That's a minuscule amount of time for something like this.

>Of course that's much worse than leaving your emo homo friend on his own
It unironically is.

I agree, everything he did has to be seen in a different light, and nothing truly is as simple as "just say no" in a situation like this, but just avoiding the subject as things move along is even more disrespectful.

I don't think Taichi should force down the friendship option, I don't think he should date Touma if he doesn't even want to, but he has to accept that the minute Touma confessed his entire relationship changed and he should get his shit together if nothing else for pure respect for his friend to not leave him hanging there. Taichi is dealing with some heavy shit, but not as heavy as Touma's.

He behaves like teenager, what's wrong with that. Do you believe you should be hypocrite to people just because you own them? That would be insulting. Touma knows Taichi better, and was ready to this. Also, Taichi is not behaving like if nothing happened, everybody knows something is bad with him and have the decency to shut up and let him follow his flow. If Shingo and Kensuke called him is because they know how deep they messed up, not because they feel they should "fix" Taichi and Touma.
If Taichi owes Touma something because of their friendship is being honest with his feelings, and that means right now that he is openly confused and won't try to approach to him because he doesn't how what to think or do.

>but you can be friends with someone you rejected
Yes. That is the biggest asshole move you can do.
Its good for you and torture for the other person.

>but he is acting like all the years of friendship with Touma mean nothing in light of this.
It kinda does
All these years he has only been friends with him because he was in love with him
Their entire relationship is build on a huge lie.

If he actually think it wouldn't matter then he could just do what you suggest and have Touma suffer for no good reason.

I have, but Im more of a direct person and try to talk about my feelings and get my friends to talk about theirs, I know relationship arent easy thats why you have to try to keep them while Taichi isnt doing anything and you seriously belive the author isnt gonna make them talk sooner or later? And just end the manga like that?

No Taichi is going to get to Touma for no good reason
But he shouldn't
Right now he is doing the right thing.

It depends, I do think that there has to be some time off for both parties so they can settle down on whatever their new dinamic will be, but going back to being friends is an option for a lot of people after getting rejected. The big thing is that both parties should know what they're getting into, no "maybe if we hang out more she/he'll see that she/he's in love with me" from the rejected party and no stringing people along from the party that did the rejection, which is what I'd expect from this situation in particular because of their sexual orientation which basically closes the door down hard from Taichi's side.

It takes time, but it's not something impossible to achieve. Unless Taichi keeps talking about all sexual positions he wants to try with Futaba and takes Touma's feelings into account, I don't see it as cruel. Meanwhile cutting him out completely after everything they've been through and letting Touma feel like even a bigger freak who shouldn't follow his heart would make Taichi an asshole.

>but going back to being friends is an option for a lot of people after getting rejected
That is because the person who got rejected is so attached to the other that they are willing to settle and suffer just to stay near them
Its cruel to take advantage of that. There is no option for untainted friendship anymore because they are not equals anymore in their wants for the relationship

You're acting like the only reason Touma was ever friends with him is in the hopes of one day being able to fuck him or something. Being in love and having a genuine friendship with someone are not mutually exclusive to one another. His love of Taichi naturally evolved from his friendship with him.

>It takes time,
Only in your romcoms. Unrequited love is way more complicated. Most of the times it takes years and distance to fix things not spending hours talking about feelings with the person you will never get.

>You're acting like the only reason Touma was ever friends with him is in the hopes of one day being able to fuck him or something
I mean at what point can you go back in flashbacks and show me a touma who wasn't in love with taichi?
Seriously even really young its obvious. There never was a real friendship because Touma has been lying for all this time.

Read better romcoms and don't project your own situation onto this manga.

Dude no you still can I have been un both ends rejecting and rejected, you just have to know what you are getting into like this user here says later you end up falling in love with other people and keep a good friendship with another person you like unless you only liked them sexually then you are fucked and should've cut ties

Not really, no, it's not easy, and it's not for everyone, but thinking that confessing inmediately destroys whatever those people already had in every single scenario isn't really what happens in any way whatsoever, and if someone knowingly strings people along after rejecting them then yeah, that's cruel, but to think that everyone does that isn't right.

Falling in love with a friend doesn't make all the moments that happen inbetween noticing and confessing a lie, the friendship still exists.

>There never was a real friendship because Touma has been lying for all this time

You can be friends with someone while also being in love with them. Often lovers are also their partner's best friend. Touma being in love with Taichi doesn't invalidate his friendship.

There was no way to know he was gay until he said it.

So until he gets over Taichi they can't be actual friends.
A friendzone is completely different from a friendship

>You can be friends with someone while also being in love with them.
Yes
But if they aren't in love with you the friendship ends there and the friendzone begins
Its that easy.

Only if you're an absolute brainlet.

Attached: x22mmm.png (889x1300, 397K)

The friendzone is a completely idiotic concept and even if it existed you're using it wrong since it's built around the idea that one person strings along the other just abusing his feelings to get what he wants and offering friendship in return while the other party keeps expecting something else (ignoring that said party won't do anything to advance their relationship forward).

Being friends while being in love with said person is a thing that has nothing to do with "the friendzone".

The friendzone only exists if the person who was put into the friendzone can only see their friend they have feelings for as a lover and nothing else.

I'm sorry you have autism
And by that I mean, you clearly weren't paying attention to what you were reading/viewing like the majority of anons

What was he trying to say?

You must get friendzoned a lot

That is silly
you can be in love with someone and still want to settle for friendship since you valued that friendship
That is still the friendzone

Call it orthogonal friendship or a friendship with different wants but it is completely different from a real friendship

>both want to be friends
Friend
>both want to be lovers
lovers (can also be friends)
>one wants to be more while the other just wants friendship
Friendzone
It doesn't matter if there are cruel intentions behind it. As long as Taichi knows that Touma is in love with him then it would be cruel to go for the relationship that benefits him and hurts Touma. He knows now.

>All these years he has only been friends with him because he was in love with him
no you FOOL they're friends. they were friends before the love happened.

Not really. Its not an option if you don't let it be an option
I have no problem saying I got rejected but I also knew the friendship was over
If I was fine with just being in the friendzone forever I would've never had a girlfriend in my life.

Prove it.
Show me one flashback of them being friends before Touma was in love with Taichi.

You have a crazy narrow concept of friendship and love and it seems like you don't want to argue, you really just want to force down this idea that friendship is impossible if romantic feelings were ever involved (if this comes from personal experience or just your ideas I don't know) so I'll stop here.

i'm not combing through the manga for you

It's understandable that he lashed out, but the point is that you shouldn't act like violent mongs in the first place

Literally their childhood years, man. Yes at 10 or 11 Touma realizes he probably likes guys and he likes Taichi in a different way. But before they were kids with no further intentions than caring for each other and having fun.

Look if you want to define Friendzones as just a different form of friendship then fine
I feel sorry for you because you must not have any truly deep friendships then if they are worth so little to you.

But even if it is still a form of friendship it is not the same as an actual friendship without any asterisk.

Last chapter. Presumably there was no romance involved when they were like 5

Don't we even have four year old Touma dreaming about giving Taichi a handmade gift?

He'll eventually confess and not hide like Masumi.

Bad example
he was clearly in love with him then.

At the point that he said no more hand holding. It was completely platonic before that

Eh. He was probing him for what he would like from someone in love with him
Even if it wasn't conscious at least subconsciously there is no question he was already in love with him then.

There are shitons of hints. Like his conversation with Taichi on whom he liked, the one with Masumi, the lingering sight, the whole "I want to live with freedom."

She was saying that she didn't understand supporting someone else's love on the previous page. At the time Touma was trying to make Taichi and Futaba hook up while neglecting his own feelings. Later on, after Taichi said he would support Touma no matter what and Futaba asked him about what kind of person he wanted to be he came to the conclusion that he wanted to start taking his feelings for Taichi seriously. He didn't get to do much about it before learning that Futaba and Taichi had just started dating though.

Sure that would be awful but there's no shortage of people that seem to be unable to empathize with Taichi and just as shitty.

>is a Taichi accepts to experiment with Touma and see if he is into gay-stuff chapter

This is just bro stuff between bros.

All in all Taichi's life is in pretty good shape though... a goal in mind for the future, family that loves you, friends that like you, a girlfriend. In this case, while I understand it's a hard position to be in and confusing if you have been utterly unaware of the existence of homos your entire life, but all in all, Taichi is doing pretty well in life, despite his constant inferiority complex towards Touma especially and the situation he is in now.

As established earlier, it's been about a day in the manga. So with that context, I think everyone is getting a little heavy handed about Taichi's current status in these affairs.

What I mean is the people making him about to be a shithead that is not suffering as well right now. Barely any time has past and you have people hating on the kid because he's being passive at the moment because he's confused. His friendship with Touma wasn't only Touma's. Just because he has some good things going on it doesn't excuse that. He can't even focus on those things.

nta but keep posting

I feel this. The discussion in this thread has been relatively civil, it's a nice change from the shit happening elsewhere on this board.

The cat thing is definitely a reoccurring theme. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets brought up again in light of the current situation with Touma.

Attached: x3.png (889x1300, 294K)

yeah, pretty much. after speaking with those 2 guys Taichi might visit Touma. The fight, the confession and this all happened in just a few days in the manga's timeline. It'll be different if Taichi ignored Touma for the rest of his suspension.

These threads are usually good outside of the homo and anti homo posters shitposting.

>He can't even focus on those things.

And that's sort of an annoyance to me personally.

You have this guy with his life in pretty good shape for a teenager, and his general apathy and low self-esteem and obliviousness towards other people's issues, especially Touma's, is infuriating. I know it's partly Touma's fault for not letting his best friend know the real him, and that he pushes people away and wants to deal with his issues on his own, but goddamn, it's absolutely annoying how Taichi can imply that '' no matter what, Touma will be happy, you are so great and amazing, you barely have any issues because you are so great '' all the while he himself is doing pretty great too, but still acts as if he is the only one in the world with problems.

His general obliviousness, not necessarily in how he is reacting to Touma's confession, but everything else, just makes me annoyed with him.

Why the fuck would you even read this if you hate homo?

I can understand that annoyance but those good things in his life just started. He just started dating Futaba and things are only now looking up only for this to happen. He just got a taste of happiness and now his friendship that was able to be rekindled is all weird. From his perspective Touma had it made until now. Most handsome popular guy in school. Lets not forget until recently he thought the girl he loved was in love with Touma as well. All this shit happened in a very short period of time.

I want to rest my head on Touma's thighs.

I'll be dumping the rest of what I have there for anyone interested.

>by the end of the story ends up right back here with no best friend or lover

Would be 10/10 pottery

I'm retarded

Well, is a hard question actually. I would chose the cat

I think what makes it worse is that he knew there was something bothering Touma, so for him to say that things work out for Touma because it is him can be pretty hurtful

Thanks, user.

Speaking of, I think pic related is the earliest you could tell in the nip version at least

This manga will have a happy ending we just have to endure the suffering

The beginning was so good, holy fuck. It has become a bit disjointed, to say at least

Honestly I think the start was a bit melodramatic. After ch5 it became comfier, even if the pace leaves a bit to be desired. But that didn't bother me much since I enjoy the characters

Einosuke is going to save the day.

If they do go that route I hope him and Touma get some development together rather than them getting together off screen.

So, homobros over hoes, or hoes over homobros?

It's not fair bros Touma is a literal 10/10 and yet his life is absolute shit now.

It's okay, he'll graduate, move on and find the people who'll treasure him. Meanwhile Taichi will forever remain a spineless virgin, even Futaba will eventually leave him. And the bald retard will die of STD

And then Touma got AIDS

Unless he becomes self-destructive, he'll never practice unsafe sex desu

Japan is one of the lowest AIDS country on planet earth

It's a shitpost in response to shitpost.

Well they have the highest single mother out of Asia too but no one isn't talking about it.

Anime when

Never

Hopefully never, I don't trust a single studio to do a proper job with this one.

JAV when?

Really? I could see Kyoani or Studio Wit doing it justice.

It'd just be great to see it animated well with seiyuu and a good score.

Shaft

The manga switches between cutesy simple art and realistic artstyle often that i think it wouldn't work in anime format.

I think it would work fine.
If anything, it could work to it's benefit. It has the cutesy artstyle at times which might save money, but then the realistic style for the big moments.

>Japan has the highest single moms in Asia history

How did this happen>

SOCIETY

Right, as long as the staff is competent I think it would be AOTY material. Wit did an amazing job with KoiAme and I feel like they would be a good fit for this sort of title.

I think it'd make a great anime as long as they adapt the whole thing and yes the art is suited for it. I could easily see the chibi style pop up for some scenes and it would work well contrasted with normal style and the detailed style.

>anime get's greenlit
> Taichi VA: Yuki Kaiji

for fuck's sake, no

WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY

It's a manga.

I think production I.G. would do a decent job desu

Do you think kaito draws porn of them? Is kaito really a guy? How can a straight man make an homo couple so lewd.

I'm a little scared to click this

It can't be worse than that guy who took that entire bad dragon dildo that was bigger than his arm tho right?

>Do you think kaito draws porn of them?
See

This seems really dangerously to be honest. Like, the dildo is going straight to the belly, but the large intestines just surround the torso. The belly just houses the small intestines and the bladder (and in women, the uterus). I have no idea what is happening anatomically. This is not sexy in men at all.

You can't tell me Kaito doesn't when they draw shit like this

I don't like homo and the art that gets spammed sometime genuinely annoys me, but otherwise I just like how the author writes so it's interesting to follow these characters.

IBO?

>Intraperitoneal organs are completely surrounded by peritoneum and are therefore mobile. Of the colon, the ascending colon, descending colon and rectum are retroperitoneal, while the cecum, appendix, transverse colon and sigmoid colon are intraperitoneal.
Seems like the sigmoid colon is getting stretched a little. Actual human anatomy differs from person to person and often doesn't follow exact textbook proportions so maybe his sigmoid colon is longer than usual or something.

Iron-blooded Orphans. One of the guy is clearly into the other and near the end the oblivious guy was considering it. Because its not overt, people debated they were just good friends or the other guy was completely straight

>I have no idea what is happening anatomically.
The intestines can easily move around. Like, really easily. As for how the organs move, the colon would move from the left and displace the small intestine (ie make it bulge forward). The most damage they're doing is to their anus and sphincters.

I may or may not be working on something

Yes, yes. Ruin the fucking thread.

I'm still suspicious of Shingo. He looks like the final boss of the manga.

I don't think Shingo has any bad intentions he's been mostly a bro. I doubt he'd have reached out to Taichi if he wanted to fuck over Touma.

No, he's best boy.

I'm pretty sure he's cool. I don't think there's gonna be a "final boss", at least not like an antagonist, unless Kensuke continues to be a dick, but this meeting seems to suggest otherwise.

Maybe so, but he's been trying to push Touma's buttons for a awhile. Probably because he wants him to stop stringing Mami along, and possibly to confirm his suspicious of him being gay.

He wants to rummage through Touma's room and find his Achilles heel, he tells Touma to just reject Mami, but later he is jokingly pushing Touma to date Mami, and making sure the two have a one-on-one moment, and doesn't bother to stand up for Touma when Kensuke barges in.

I'm not sure how much of a bro he is. He seems very conniving and whatever.

To continue on this thought, what I'm trying to say is that I don't think he has anyone's best interest in mind, except his and maybe Mami's.

You make some good points. I'd agree with you that he puts Mami above anyone else priorities wise. I don't consider him conniving, more just kind of an enigma in what exactly he wants or what his intentions are.

Attached: D11mj,.png (957x1400, 1.47M)

Just about the most boring thing they could do is crash Mami's worldview with Shingo being secretly in love with her

I agree. I think he's more interesting than that, or I hope so.

I also wonder if the author is going to try and redeem Kensuke. Though I don't see how at this point.

>doesn't seem either Shingo or Kensuke are athletes
Don't know about Shingo but Kensuke was picked as his class's representative for the relay race and is almost as tall as Touma.

Kensuke will give up on Mami and go back to dating the fatty.

Fatty a cute in s mascot sorta way

So did Shingo do something else to Touma besides punching him? I'm a bit confused about this part.

Dude, have you see some gay guys? If you think they are all effeminate faggots think again.

The mangaka of golden kamuy is also a guy. So is Togashi.

>homo thread

Official translation goes for girlfriend instead of lover. In context that makes more sense but I like the ambiguity of lover more.

Nip version uses 恋人 so 'lover' is correct.

Yeah, since it could also apply to Touma right here

You should see their Yoi one.

Fuck mami

He told him that gay people are sinners and should be erased in the name of our lord and savior Jesus Christ

bottom middle is clearly a huge slut

>let's draw pretty girls
>let's draw pretty boys
Not gonna bother deciphering all of the handwriting but it seems to be describing different "types", such as cool, cute, sexy, honor student, dumbfuck.

The headlines are "Let's draw pretty girls/boys" and the texts under the pics are types of pretty. For example, bottom middle is idiot (aho) girl.

It always amazes me how damn pretty she draws, the chibis are on point too

You know I never stopped to appreciate how good her style is. The faces all have a lot of character to them.

cute chipmunk

none of them come even close to Taichi's cuteness.

>draws attractive men as tomboyish girls
This is proof kaito is male

Everyone already got the memo, Touma.

I don't know, second to last in the bottom row is pretty cute desu

is kaito a boy or a grill

>that smug cunt on the right

Unknown. The name Kaito itself is masculine but here it's just a pen name, and it's not uncommon for female authors to get male-sounding pen names.

Yes

When it's ambiguous, it's always a woman.

They might be from a previous manga

I see he is turning into a man of culture. Pierce should be proud of him if Kensuke decides to drop his facade and turns into a pure feeder.

I am having serious doubts on Shingo, but are based on if he is really faking his feelings for Mami or not.

I mean, sure, he is the only one that kind of stands out.

The going through his room bit I'm pretty sure was just him goofing off. There wasn't any serious ulterior motive, or he presumably wouldn't have dragged Taichi along.

And he's been annoyed with Touma lately because Touma is stringing his friend along by refusing to outright just reject her. He understandably wants to know what the hell his problem is

Those threads had some very high quality denial. It was amusing

Male peers/friendships having to involve physical violence is a weird narrative to push desu

Still, he has absolutely no problem going through someone's personal stuff. I'd say that is pretty unbro-like of him, like even Kensuke is like uhhhhh...

Attached: twefgweg.png (710x818, 505K)

I don't think that's a narrative that he is pushing, but rather '' this is what I have to deal with as a man, and what people expect of me as a man. To take punches without crying, to not hit girls even if they are annoying, to not fall in love with other men.. Is this what you desire, Mami? Are you fine with this? ''

Does it still push the narrative Mami is trying to go for, a bit, but just before the fight, his crush told him that everything in Touma's life will be fine, and that everything will go right for him because he is this and that. So I understand he is in short fuse when it comes to dealing with other people's expectations of him, and how he is supposed to act as a man.

This is a good explanation, I get it a lot better now.

Imagine being a raging faggot

Hot.

They are, but then again Touma is so nice and wonderful he'd work with anyone. Touma x Shingo, Kensuke, Einosuke, everything would work.

Me too even though he can be an absolute shit
