Let's gooooo

luciole

But if this is the smartest thing he’s ever done, does that mean he’ll get a cold immediately after?

ScuttlebuttScootScoot

Man running through snow and sub zero temps to snag his future BF, but it's cool because "Idiots don't catch colds"

Octavia Liotine

Happy thanksgiving! This next few updates is going to be heart wrenching isn’t it

Tenga

It literally snowed when I opened this chapter. Ugh XD

Emberling

y’all what if the new chapter is titled “cold hands” i’d cry

Mo

NEW CHAPTER SOOOOONN !!!!!!!! :D

So'

I’m so confused why is everyone talking about cold hands art 💔 is it on Patreon

Adrianna Lopez

Okay so hear me out...they mentioned how it will snow tonight at the beginning of the chapter. Now imagine, they're both running to each other to communicate and nao just kisses him in the snow. Trust guys it's gonna happen (cope)

Bats

I know we’ve thought this before guys but I think this week might actually be the one 👀 or at least the beginning of the ACTUAL conversation arc

perpendorkulate

Look at my most recent comment 😭 In Aina’s Insta on March 10th from her mini game there’s a caption that says “there’s a 100% chance of something happening during the holidays” okg AINA GIRL

Dani

YALL okay this needed a separate post. March 10 Aina’s insta post. There’s a slide that says “there’s a 100% chance of something happening during the holidays” and Takeo is complaining and says “you fool this is nihon. Christmas isn’t some Willy Nilly family gathering. It’s a battlefield of singles. If you don’t have a date you’ll look like a loser”. You guys. Aina’s been hinting at this when with subtle things like this like on her game she created 😭 this is even more reason to know something is about to happen!!

Dani

OMG AND IT SAYS THERES A 100% CHANCE OF SOMETHING HAPPEBING DURING THE HOLIDAYS YOU GUYYYYYYYS!

Dani

Yall look on Aina’s insta at the post from March 10th this year: there’s a slide labeled Blonde delinquent side character dealing with unrequited love.. is this Sato or is it Nao’s rival who is besties with Ryu?? I think it’s Nao’s rival but are we going to have a story line about this guy crushing on Nao at one point? Because I remember he stared at Nao when him and Ryu were talking that he changed a lot when smiling at Souta (after falling down a mountain).

Dani

Verdade, né? Jun esquecido 😂

amanda

This actually came out on the first big snow of the year for me and I was so excited!

FeyFlower004

Youre less twisted then me im kinda hoping souta goes and sees them but from the angle he’s at he sees them “kiss” so he leaves to juns party but its something else like nao picking lint or something off arashi then arashi confesses and nao turns her down while realizing he likes souta and goes to find him

nv

So guys I’m sure cold hands is in the near future but souta has to be approached by nao for it to happen because if you look closely you can see souta looking surprised ( and like he was crying) and nao taking the lead and looking ahead. This clearly implies that nao will be the one who wants to find a spot for them to talk. So don’t you worry, naos time to shine is probably in the near future… lol 😅

Elisa🩷💜💙

Bro I can’t tell you how much I love this comic. Fr it’s just so amazingly written. I’ve been a fan since 2023 and I will stay till the end of it idc aina is just so great at making a realistic story that has good writing AND beautiful illustrations ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️

Elisa🩷💜💙

guys remmber at th beginning of this chapter where arashi says “maybe it’ll snow. wont that be romantic?” or something along those lines…. I KNOW ITS COMING IM JUST SO SCARED IM SO SCARED

benson boone’s first cyborg clone

Do we finally get to see the snowing panel!?!?!?

flash_lover21

I’m tired of Souta constantly chasing after Nao 🫩 I know this might seem twisted of me but I hope that Souta heads in Nao’s direction and Nao goes for Souta and they miss each other so then Nao thinks Souta went to the Jun’s (?) party :-|

gnabnahc9706

That makes since. Especially since Nao now knows that Souta brought the tickets!

Ragazza!

amo que o souta vai atras do homem dele mas e o rolê na casa do jun? 😭😭 já to com saudade do meu loirinho

ceci

Agreed I want them running around missing each other but they can't meet at one of their houses bc Cold Hands is outside

chicknbaconranchmelt

Inoue my beloved <3

Weronika Zieziulewicz

I love this kind of theories

Paw Mon

A lot of theories being made. We still have the karaoke spoiler 🎤 Whats gonna happen at the karaoke, I'm so curious 😭

mic

I love Inoue more than anyone in this whole comic 🥹 She deserves the world! If anyone has an Inoue in their life treat her well and hold on tight to her because friends like her are ones you want in your life forever 🥹💖

Skibidi Bonnet

Inoue casually sending Souta over to Nao; she's amazing 😊 Thank you for another wonderful chapter!🌸

Fyo

let me guess: souta will go to the karaoke and nao will go to the party AND THEY WILL MISS EACH OTHER 😩

Mimi

imagine writing so much to be completely wrong in the end im scared

ultimate lurker aka Pika

a lot of text but trust me worth it READ THE VISION I saw people say they don't want Souta to go meet Nao which at first os valid but guys Im here to make yall see the vision. who did souta hate at first? nao who did depite that join aoccer just for souta? nao! When soccer camp went shit who did souta avoid? nao. who made the effort to fix it? nao! who did souta avoid because of his crush? nao. who came to fix it? nao! who did souta fail to spend properly with? nao. who did smth like going tp arcade even if they dont like jt just to spend time with sout (even if the follow up was a fail) ? nao! who did souta avoid because of heteronormativity? nao. who tried to fix is even if he miserably failed? nao! ofc souta also followed nao when he thought he was a depressed bun or when nao was on edge because of his mother bjt he did end up saying that's why you dont have any friends anyways im not done who did try initiate kissing twice? nao! now who didn't do shit? Souta! now guys ofc souta worked hard for the tickets now tell me do we belive that he was ever planning to guve them to nao if even WE THE READERS didn't know he already had them them did souta ever think hard enough amd go im going to give him them today for us to see it in the comic? no maybe he did but maybe he didn't but the tickets were obviously not focus enough in his life for us to see but he still worked hard for them which is later important now to the actual vision part part souta has to move his ass for a romantic reason to show he wants to be woth nao try for once we all know that nao rejected souta but man souta rejected himself before nao could but wait do not think i want him to meet nao at karaoke cause i do not not at all they have to meet halfway because in the symbolic sense of my world if souta goes to jun and nao goes to karaoke it means they decided to give up on the other it means they decided to not try (though umb did point out to me that it depends on how conscious nao is of he goes to karaoke which is very valid this would only aplly if he is in his right mind) now imagine they trew that away and BOTH decided tk go after the other woth miyako saying the stiff to souta technically there's nk misunderstandings left between them miyako telling souta that he probs didn't read nao right is soutas wake up call callnao realizing how much souta worked for him is naos wake up call THIS IS THE MOMENT OF TRUTH with knowing what the other might feel do they decide to look for each othed or do they not this is THE moment where the forst time in this long ass comic the two would try for this relationship TOGETHER not a im going to work my ass of for him not a im going to try initiating a kiss not an one sided i want him on both sides no it's a WE WANT THIS WE ARE TRYING bonus symbols if they miss each other at first thinking they lost their chance but then realizing they infact did both try long story short if they dont meet up in the middle im going to cry maybe not if nao isn't even properly with arashi like i was pointed out in discord then i still need souta to move though to for once wreck all the walls he put begween him and nao and go get nao out of there also nice symbolism ngl CRUSH THE HETERONORMATIVITY AND MOVE like as in since he always backed down seeing them together and now if he sees them together again it's a question of how determined souta is to TRY AT LEAST ONCE and then see nao follow him the second he says smth BECAUSE NAO WAS NEVER INTERESTED ANYWAYS ykwim? as in it was always souta who pushed that picture on nao and IT JUST NEEDS ONE FUCKING STEP FOR HIM TO SEE nao in fact never was part of that normativity he was never part of the picture souta build in his head the way he never truly wanted to be at karaoke still though i like them meeting halfway more

ultimate lurker aka Pika

Okay people it's snowing it's not a drill

Silencio

He and Arashi would be cute tbh

Dani

I can’t tell if Aina made it work timing wise! It’s 7 weeks and one of these chapters is usually around 10 weeks. I wonder if she’ll be doing an extended Christmas ep?

Dani

They’re both 100% chasing each other right now and I’m excited to see when they finally reunite 😭

Dani

Okay I’m calling it! Souta will get to the concert and WILL NOT FIND NAO he finds Arashi and she is sad cause Nao ditch her and rejected her and Nao will go to Jun’s party looking for Souta but he AINT THERE YET and will be confronted by Jun (and get jealous thinking he is into Souta) and he will be the catalyst to get Nao to confront the fact that he might want things to not change but they will, and eventually Souta will be snatched by someone (points if Jun kind of plays into Nao’s idea that he is into Souta to see his reaction ) and then both of them will leave and meet in the middle and confess after 60 years of torture by Aina! That’s just my theory, a BL THEOOORY! -insert mat patt voice-

SilviaLuna

You’re not biased😭 it definitely feels so one-sided

wendalize

His hands are about to get cold hurry Nao or you’ll miss your que!

The Urge

*Its that ending scene from Aniara where the ship is drifting through empty space after a million years with everyone on board dead, except it’s the Ainara. The last living planet is the image Cold hands. Suddenly humanity is revived immediately to worship at the Altar of a brighter future, one where Souta need not suffer in oblivion and Nao need not fear the light he’s been denied might vanish if he steps too close, a world where they make out with tongue in public*

The Urge

<3

Elliot Summers

Good on Souta for getting over his fears and going for it!! Although I'll be honest I'm a little disappointed that Nao isn't doing a lill' more chasing. We've gotten to see years and years of Souta pining and now that we've finally gotten Nao's POV I wish we stewed a little more about how much HE loves Souta because it still feels a bit one-sided. I want Souta to be loved without having to IMMEDIATELY reciprocate it just as Nao was. But I'm probably biased because I want Souta to feel actively sought after:') as always amazing chapter Aina!! Super excited for the (maybe) Christmas confession ❤️❤️

DearNeptune!

But I know it’s cool to have the real confession on the real Christmas but HOW can I survive till then 😓

procra

Takeo is like in a relationship with Souta but it’s an unrequited love and he doesn’t even know he’s in love. I love him 😭

procra

The SNOOOOOWWWWWWW

EmeraldMoth

I really like Takeo 😍 He is fun, he reminds me of Souta sometimes. Souta when he’s not sad 🥲

Va a pasar! 😱😱😱

Kastiro

Let's Freaking Go!

Chip Kelvin

GUYS GUYS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TWO YEARS FOR THE WINTER ART FROM 2022 (??) TO COME INTO THE STORY I AM SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW

Isa

ITS SNOWING EVERYONE REMAIN CALM

ableaelle

I started a new job that’s so.. something and this has been my way to relax mid week now 😅

Dani

Were unsure on Souta’s but naos is the exact same (minus a few artistic changes since it’s been a few years)

Dani

I NEED THE CONFESSION I NEED IT I NEED IT I NEED IT

kal

I’m about to lose my mind

Dani

100%, there’s gonna be a reason Souta’s been running around in the cold longer than Nao (as in cold hands)

Dani

One thing I know is Aina is not about to fool around with a Christmas confession after eight years 😭 she’s had this confession planned for YEARS. IT IS TIME GUYS.

Dani

I think they are both going to. Either he is bolting after that concert or maybe even during it.

AlexSam

YES!!! Go Souta, GOOOO!!!

ALICE

oh my god oh my god oh my god IT’S HAPPENING SOUTA LEFT THE SNOW takeo needs to shut it tho MIYAKO DROPPING THE INFO FOR SOUTA !!! AAAAAAA GUYS ITS GONNA HAPPEN TRUST TRUST Eventually, but this means Souta either A) left for Jun’s or B) went to find Nao. While I hope it’s not B, knowing Souta he will do B because his heart is too big and he wants him so bad :( Poor baby…

Kazemi / かぜみ

Marzipan ♡

oh my god!!! dramatic confession in the snow on Christmas Eve!!!!! I feel like all our years of waiting are about to culminate in something so big

Martha M

IT’S SNOWING. IT’S HAPPENING. COLD HANDS IS HAPPENING

Kiarrionss

im not ready for the next one omfg

mimi

This is the second time Takeo has looked to Souta for backup and he's been gone. Poor Takeo. 🤣

DearNeptune!

Even if it leads to the heartbreaks of heartbreaks for Souta, I'm low key glad he's going to get a decisive answer. No more room for doubts and speculations. That's the least Nao can do for Souta and himself.

Zarrytan

And then they reunite, Souta gets sicks (finally) from being in the snow too long, and Nao takes care of him for once! Happy ending guys, trust ☺️ (I’m delusional)

Sweetish

GO GET YO MAN, SOUTA!!!!!!

Patron-Kun

The next chapter is cold hand! I'm gonna cry, I like them so much. Thanks Aina, this is soooooo good <3

procra

My theory is this (close to what I wrote in my fic) Souta runs to the karaoke place but gets stuck in the snow somewhere. Nao skips karaoke now that he knows the truth about the tickets and goes to the soccer club party to see if he still there. Inoue tells him Souta left hours ago and Nao freaks out and runs to go find him. I’m going wrack these boys on the head💔

Sweetish

I swear if they go looking for each other and miss each other by a second 😭

JenBear

If course it’s snowing ! It’s snowing on my heart ! It’s snowing on MY LIFE !!!

_Faust_

Everyone stay calm I think it’s happening

#FreeSoutaFROMTHEMBOTHWHATTHE

I was hoping Nao would be the one to chase souta for once... it feels like it's always Souta putting himself out there. Either way I love this story, the incredible author, and I can't wait to see how this plays out 🩷🩷🩷

Camila A.B.C.

I adore and love you Inoue. You are such a queen!! I’m also absolutely LOVING this dynamic between her and Keisuke, it’s so funnnn! Although, I sort of wish that Nao would be the one chasing Souta. I love how selfless and caring Souta is, but I feel like Nao needs to chase after him for a few reasons. If Nao does then not only will it be more satisfying, but it would mean that he’s ready. He’s ready to start a relationship or think about truly being in one with Souta. I feel like if they get together now it still would be too soon in the context of it all. Souta still needs a self love arc and Nao needs to figure out if he is ready. We might find out now since he has been having daydreams of flirting with Souta, but it still feels incomplete. I hope that Nao chases Souta after they probably get into another fight when they see each other or something. Cold hands is coming up and Souta looked like he was crying so maybe they fight, Souta runs away and then Nao chases him. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

PLEASE MAKE MORE CHAPTERS ON THEIR LIFE AS A COUPLE AS WELL!!! AND ALL THE OBSTACLES THEY WILL OVERCOME AS A COUPLE!!!!♥️♥️♥️

Diadia20

COLD HANDSSSS

Dani

::silent screaming:: ::LOUD SCREAMING:: Please please no more heartbreaking detours. Please please Nao comes to find Souta at the same time.

Susan Long

OK, I’m gonna be honest. It’s all good cause it’s fiction and we know that nao feels the same, but if my friend who was just rejected by his crush goes running to ask why he said no, I would stop him cause that’s just masochism and cruel to him

Parranda

I love Inoue for doing that! You go Souta! Honestly I feel like Nao should be the one running after all the emotional turmoil hahaha but I guess if he's giving Souta space then i get it! You go Souta regardless though! I wonder if he will run to Nao or go to the other party now hmmmmmm

Tink

Do not EVEN 😭 I’m hoping since she said the specific details and he left after and Keisuke pointed it out that it means he’s going after Nao

Dani

Kinda, yes 😫🗯️ (a spoiler)

Am (distracted)

souta said 'say less 🏃💨'
