Realizing that if he just had the tickets in his pocket ready to go he must have been planning to give them to Nao any day 😭

EmilyEdenReads

No matter how many times I read this when I get to Souta breaking down it feels like the floor drops out beneath me.

EmilyEdenReads

It must sound crazy what I’m about to say..

One thing I appreciate about Aina's work is when the characters cry, they full on ugly cry. Their face wrinkles, there's snot, their chin dimples. It makes the emotions hit home so much harder, since it's truer to life.

Something that I imagine during the scene with Keisuke is when Souta says, “It still wouldn’t matter would it? Because I… I’m a… I…” Even though he never says “I’m a guy”, I imagine he is using the first person pronoun 俺 (ore) or 僕 (boku) which are both masculine. This hurt me even more cuz while he’s repeating “I” all he hears is the masculine pronoun he’s using so he doesn’t even need to finish his sentence 😭

Souta made me cry. I've been there before.

I LITERALLY CANNOT BELIEVE HE GAVE THE TICKETS???

Joe

I think it's fair to say that Arashi doesn't know about Souta's feelings! Deeespite that, though, she also completely disregards him outside of when she needs his help. Like all of their interactions up to this point, she hasn't even tried to be genuinely kind or have a real conversation with him.

WHY DID HE GIVE DA TICKETS IM CRYING

MSL

Ty! But it is just pure obsession over the plot of this amazing comic at this point hahaha!

Hermione

This is such a good observation!!!

Carola S

OMG I SWEAR I READ THIS TOO MUCH BUT… I think Arashi is starting to seek help from Souta now because she realized how much Souta means to Nao. This meaning that she asked Souta about the Christmas present and is mentioning that Nao and him are really close ONLY after seeing Nao buy Souta a christmas present (the soccer shoes). Nao probably spoke very fondly of Souta when she was with him buying the shoes, which is further reason why she is pushing Souta from then on to be on her side. Because beforehand she wasn’t as interested in getting his help with Nao before the scene where Nao seems to have bought Souta the soccer shoes!

Hermione

I would have probably put my fist through the wall if I was being honest if I had to see that. Himura is a better man than I am.

I’ve read this about 15+ times, and my heart is crushed each time 😭 The people pleasing alongside Souta basically giving up. 💔 I am crying!! Also, while I know Nao is noticing that Souta did something with Inoue, he’s also noticing that Souta doesn’t seem happy about it. And that Souta doesn’t seem happy about the amusement park event either. Nao’s always been pretty focused on Souta’s emotions, whether or not he understands them…we’ll have to see.

Carola S

You are so right… I started rereading things because I forgot why Nao wanted to get Souta shoes, and while so I wanted to give Arashi the benefit of the doubt as well. But as you explained it, I can see so many flaws with her now. Mainly I missed the fact that she completely disregarded Souta when she greeted Nao when they were hanging out. I’ve started meeting a lot of new people lately because they are friends of my friend, and whenever that happens YOU ADDRESS THEM AND SAY HELLO AND MAKE CONVERSATION. Thank you for making me realize my reasons for disliking her are valid because I really didn’t like her vibe before.

Hermione

AHH this is all too sad!!! the way u draw the expression is so good~

gtaps

The way she dismissed Souta hurt :( Like girl he’s a whole human being at least say HI 😭

Kazemi / かぜみ

Yes I agree and hopefully Nao doesn’t look and believes it was on him at him He tried, Souta tried but Arashi was really just like “annnnd time to move on” smh

Faith

Oh man, I bought this membership because I was so curious what would happen. And curiosity really got the cat in me. Because I'm crying so hard. WHY AUTHOR WHY, shattering my heart. lol, anyways, bless thank you, I love angst and this story🙏

Kaido

I **NEED** to know what's going through Naos head, especially in that last panel 🤧

Amber

Oh yeah I don’t think it’s his fault at all! And I would hope he doesn’t think it is when it comes down to it. Same, like yeah Souta might be kinda weird or whatever she might think of him, but she never really did try to have a conversation with him outside of the ticket giving scene. Well, Nao was opening up to people by the time the festival came around so it’s not too far out of the ballpark, but yeah it’s more likely she approached him first and it went on from there.

Kazemi / かぜみ

Right He’d feel so upset for not noticing I think but it’s really not his fault though. I really wonder why she never tried talking to Souta , like she’s probably social cause I couldn’t imagine Nao approaching her first.

Faith

And you know what’s even sadder? Is when Nao first mentioned Arashi to Souta, he thought they would all get along and be friends! Even if not besties, Nao thought the three of them would hang out and chill-Yet none of that happened!! All that happened was Souta being shelved for no reason :( Can’t imagine how Nao feels if he’s figured out by now…

Kazemi / かぜみ

Didn’t even think of this!!

Goshdarnit

TLDR - I give 4 reasons why i’m no longer giving Arashi the benefit of doubt 🤷🏾‍♀️ I was just rereading everything btw and guys although Arashi seems like a good person in general but I can’t get over the fact of how she completely disregards Souta’s feelings EVERY single time! Like this girl’s social cues is sooo bad. 1) When she first meets Souta she talks about him being the clown and saying it was hilarious which in itself isn’t bad but just left it at that - already left a bad taste in my mouth but I digress and ignored it, But #2) When she crashes Nao’s and Souta’s little hangout she does not even address Souta at all, literally just says Hi to Nao and was like “let’s go somewhere” like girl did you not see them hanging out??? and then #3) While hanging out Nao’s trying to include Souta and admittedly Souta’s joke about joining the bad was cringe (Nao still smiled kyahhh) She literally was like “yea ok.. Anyways” and overlooked him completely. Like umm miss ma’am, ask what he listens too, ask how his day is going SOMETHING, ANYTHING!!! She hogged Nao practically the whole time without a care and didn’t even say bye when he left, like girl I get that’s not your friend but ummm common courtesy?? and last but not least #4) HER ACCEPTING THE TICKETS?? No way would I ever take someone’s hard earned gift for my own, even if Souta “won it in a raffle” obviously he pays enough attention to Nao’s likes enough to enter the “raffle” for his sake so that he could go- that is time and effort he made for a crazy good gift. Like that’s crazy behavior! Instead I would have like added on gift vouchers to the venue where the band plays for free food or drink or maybe some soccer gear like it’s not hard honestly to find something else. EVEN at the very least say “I’ll let him know right away who they came from” or something along with maybe again- free food or BOUGHT them off of him idk anything rather than just taking Nao’s friend for granted atp to gain brownie points in Nao’s favor. Sorry but as much as Nao has been through it Souta has been having things going on too and I’ve been wanting him to relax and just chill and have fun lately so my conclusion is because of her blatant lack of care of Souta, a dear friend of the guy she supposedly “like”, (It would actually be so much worse if she didn’t like Nao cause then atp why are you ignoring Souta and being rude?) I will no longer be giving her the benefit of the doubt. I rest my case.

Faith

“I’ll pass.” “It’s settled then. The six of us are going!” Lol

Lex

Now I ship the girls 😍😂

Maria Carlson

😖

Wtfhp

Also…. An uneven amount on rides…. Having to pair up… o please tell me our boys end up paired so they can finally talk

Hatterandahare

Man reading week to week I forget some of the more subtle plot lines going on, these compiled chapters are so helpful! Okay so Souta told Nao he had a crush on Inoue to hide his “I wanna try kissing you” moment, then Nao hears they went on a ghost tour, then he sees Inoue jump in to the amusement park and invite Souta…. There is a misunderstanding brewing there that I totally forgot about!

Hatterandahare

PLEASE say Nao is gonna find out how much time Shota put into getting those tickets for specially for him and them two 🥹

YoCha

I honestly kind of feel bad for Arashi 😭 like not all of us hating on her! She doesn’t know yall 😭 but anyway, Souta and Nao for always 💘

RAD

Every time Souta cries I cry, I need him to be happy asap!!

Megan Ferguson

I can’t stop rereading this 😭

Mojo

INOUE THE GOAT

Cyan134

I can’t believe Inoue just saved the day here… I love her! 😭

Madeleine

NO I CANT TAKE THIS AFTER SO MANY YEARS THE ANGST IS HITTING YET???

Little Lyttle

I feel like it would be hilarious if Souta and Nao ended up sitting together, and takeo forced Keisuke to sit next to him, so arashi and Inoue ended up next to each other. They are just frowning at each the whole time lmao

Diamond

Absolutely real 😭😭

UnicornSwag52

just found out through reading this that i missed the WHOLE CRYING SECTION SOMEHOW and now my heart is shattered in a million gagillion pieces 😭😭😭😭

charlie

I cannot with this. I love this comic to death and always have but I am simply going to pass away. I love every new update and can't wait for the next! Now who will pair up at the Wonderland? Arashi will want to be with Nao but it seems like Nao is picking up on Souta's mood so he'll probably want to stick with Souta! And why did Inoue invite herself and others along? She doesn't seem jealous anymore. Perhaps she's noticed Souta's feelings, too and is trying to help? Aghhh I can't wait to see! <3

Caleb

Oh this hurts more to read like this wow
