I definitely agree with the confession because of his parent's situation, but maybe Nao will surprise us. And I also wish they could somehow communicate maybe in a unique way how they feel without words maybe. Like maybe one day Nao will try to grab Souta's hand like he did when they were laying in Souta's bed after what happened with his mom. And he let Souta hold his hand while talking 🥰 So maybe there will be a different way they can communicate their love for each other. Either way, Aina please don't fuck up their relationship once they're together😩🙏🏼 unfortunately there a few stories I like after characters get together simply because I don't like how some are written once they wind up together. They seem to either become annoying, or not as interesting characters anymore, someone becomes super clingy, idk I just have issues finding good romance stories after they end up together finally. And I usually fall off the story. But I trust in you Aina, you're an amazing writer and so good with characters, I think you'll handle it beautifully😊🩷✨ no pressure but sorta pressure haha

It kind of reminds me of the “Days” anime (also about soccer). Spoiler********* The main character’s friend starts sobbing at the festival because the soccer team shows up and steals her friend away to go do something silly. “I lost him because of the soccer club!!!”

The more I think about it, the more I like your theory and believe something like this makes sense to happen (now or later) 👀 I've imagined them winning nationals together, but am willing to give up that headcanon 😅 and this makes me really curious about how the rival arc will play out...

Atlanas E. Kildarin
2024-09-07 16:23:57 +0000 UTC
Right, I’m guessing there’ll be too. It’s Souta and Nao we’re talking about. Miscommunication is their greatest skill 😭😭😭🫠
But I wish to remain entirely delusional for now lol.
Iona
2024-09-06 23:08:28 +0000 UTC
I have a theory that Arashi isn't in love with Nao, but she still wants to steal Shouta from her, MUSICALLY.
She just wants Nao to leave the soccer club and join the music club (Especially her band)
My theory is that this chapter Shouta will realize that Arashi and Nao have a lot of things in common (Music stuff) and it will make him feel like Nao has more fun with her than with him lol
Laura Castrillón
2024-09-06 22:35:19 +0000 UTC
Here comes a long and overanalyzing comment:
The main problem between Nao and Shouta is their communication problem, because they both communicate and express themselves in a VERY different way.
Shouta is very emotionally expressive, and he always says how he feels, even when he's hiding his feelings, he can't help but show them in different ways and always look at Nao, that's why he doesn't know how to lie, because you can tell right away that he's hiding something.
While Nao is the opposite, he usually avoids expressing his emotions unless it's something that overwhelms him, like a fit of rage or crying from his heart or Shouta making him laugh; and unlike Shouta, he always avoids looking at him directly to hide his feelings (That's why the looks between them ARE SO IMPORTANT), honestly, the main difference is that Nao currently knows how to hide his feelings and pretend that something doesn't matter to him when in reality it matters a lot to him.
But ironically one thing they have in common is that they are both "givers", and by this I mean that while Shouta has taken a job to give Nao an expensive gift, every time Shouta and Nao get together, Nao always makes sure to do activities that Shouta likes and let Shouta choose the plans, simply because he wants to make Shouta happy.
Which is sweet, but it has created an ironic situation of miscommunication.
BECAUSE THEY BOTH ASSUME THE OTHER IS IN LOVE WITH A GIRL WHEN THEY ARE IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER.
And my theory is that it's Shouta who is going to confess first, because I don't see Nao confessing when he's seen firsthand how a romantic relationship can end disastrously (His parents), and what he wants to treasure the most is his current relationship with Shouta, that's why he hides his feelings and stops himself from kissing Shouta.
Now about the girl...
My theory is that while she's not in love with Nao, she wants to steal him away from Shouta, but not romantically, but musically<3
She wants Nao to quit soccer to join her music club because she knows Nao takes music seriously (Plus he's only in soccer for Shouta lol (I mean he likes soccer too, but he's not as enthusiastic about it as he is about music, plus I find it funny that technically Nao is an arts kid who joined a sports club to be close to his crush lmao)), and she wants him to join her band and dedicate his life to music (Ok, that last bit might be a stretch, but I like it XD)
AND I LOVE HER FOR THAT<3<3<3<3
I'm probably wrong, but I'll be here to see it<3
Laura Castrillón

Lately Souta has been lighting up every time Nao says something sweet, and my personal head-canon is that whenever this happens, Nao’s heart does a little flutter 💓

I don't actually know if there will be a chapter, but Aina revealed in a Q&A some keywords that would be relevant (for the romantic development) at some point in the story. I think the Q&A was in 2022? That, and my deluded mind probably makes up some connections every now and then 😭

Iona
2024-09-06 00:26:17 +0000 UTC
But realistically(?), Nao and Arashi are new friends with lots in common, so they're gonna be chatting away (esp since Arashi seems outgoing) and Souta's gonna be like ah no, I'm not wanted 🥲 BUT at this point, surely Nao won't let that fester, okI'mGonnaStopNowAaaaaaa
