LMFAO, man, arashi can't get a win, it's so funny😭like idk I like her but also don't like her. Like I'm neutral with everything. But her "WHAT" has me laughing. But anyways, glad Nao was like "bruh, ain't no way Souta just did that". Reminds of a mother cat grabbing her baby cat by the neck and took off😭SNATCH, hopefully they talk to out, I'm quite excited for what's about to happen. Anything can happen

KC

Inoue's tiny blush, I see you girl, welcome aboard the ship! 🤭

James Wearing

AT LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST!!!!!!!!!

Cory

I knew it! 🥳🥳🥳 have fun talking things out guys (Nao and Souta) Bracing for very possible argument to come because their emotions are running high. But progress is progress!

Mads

YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH

janneil

EVERYBODY STAY CALM STAYYY CALM

Cassie

This update is everything! Literally had to give the girls at work a rundown of the whole story just to explain why this update is so good😂

Olitri

EVERYBODY STAY CALM

Sweetish

Inoues expression is KILLING me HAHAHAHA

Caleb

Ohh my GOODNESS. Ok, on the one hand, I am a bit anxious as to what Nao will say. Like obviously we know he cares about Souta A LOT but we also know that he can be rather brash. I'm just hoping that he's not too harsh with Souta and that some things get cleared up. On the other hand, this is so much better than I could have anticipated! Obviously, there was that hope that Nao would sit with Souta, but this is amazing! The way that he grabbed Souta shows that there will be some kind of confrontation while they're in there. Perhaps the half-confession that we've been waiting for? Also, I am living for how passed off Nao looked. Poor man is still not entirely used to social interaction and Souta (the person that helped him with it so much) is being weird. I love them both so much. Anyway, I am SO excited and ready to see what'll come next! Love it, Aina <3 Edit: I forgot to mention how hilarious everyone's reaction to Souta getting dragged into the carriage is. The shock/befuddlement is to die for.

vave

YAYAYAYAYAYA

kello_armypjm

Oh my God I laughed so hard. He finally had it up to here with her and took initiative. They're finally gonna talk. YAY!!!

TaySteeg

I went from shocked, to excited, and now I'm side-eyeing Aina because I've developed trust issues. 👀

Tracy Fonmedig

if important things aren’t talking abt on this ferris wheel I will go insane 😭

Rice

There is nowhere to run now

Marcela Modesto

Finger crossed for them not to leave that ride worse than how they got in 🤞

Cory

Can't wait for the whole chapter to be released together because reading this all through again will be satisfying 😊

Procra

OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I love the personality of Nao 😍 He is so true to himself, he doesn’t assume anything without speaking to Souta, he seems to love him so much 😭 I cried for real 🥹❤️😮‍💨

binarytrimble

I think this is my favorite chapter, I can’t stop reading back 💔

itoldya590

FINALLY FINALLY PLEASE TALK AND COMMUNICATE I BEG

hani✨

OH YEAHHH

alimac

Oh my gosh Inoue and Keisuke’s faces!!!! Ok I need next weeks episode right 👏 fricken 👏 now! 👏

ALICE

Y A A S S ! ! ! (The entire day though! I was thinking “wouldn’t it be funny if NAO just dragged Souta to the ferris wheel with him??”. Aina, you’re manifesting my thoughts!!)

Kappathefish

i would bet MONEY that Nao's figured out what's going on and is pissed at everyone for making assumptions about him and Arashi

alimac

Also I kind of get Nao. I mean. We as the readers know it’s clear Nao likes Souta, and then Souta denied wanting to get away just the two of them, and then got angry about Arashi and told Nao to just go hang out with her, and then disappeared with Inoue and then helped Arashi and Nao to get a carriage to themselves. Boy is confused and doesn’t know why his best friend is acting weird!! I appreciate his gumption to just grab him hahahahha

Sweetish

FORCED PROXIMITY = COMMUNICATION 🔥

Kappathefish

i know i said i wanted nao and arashi to get a chance to talk but this rules i am not disappointed in the slightest

Procra

But, I was waiting for the time when Arashi gives him the tickets and he know it’s in fact from Souta. I’m so happy and I’m so scared because Souta is never saying the real things and he just makes Nao confused with all his false responses (I love you Souta Im sorry). Thursday is soooo far.

The Urge

I think an angry kiss would be a terrible idea and maybe out of character for Nao, but it would also be really good drama. Not necessarily what I want though.

NeonOstrich

OMGOMGOMG I had a feeling Nao was gonna do this!!

Kappathefish

i love idcc god bless 🙏 getting me through finals fr

Gutokun

How can this go wrong

Procra

Also, last thing to say, I’m sorry 🫣 : I love Inoue ❤️

Emmy Lexus

YAHHHHS NAO YOU GET YOUR MAN! KISS AT THE TOP AND BE TOGETHER FOREVER ❤😂 Also double update?👀 I really can't wait a week 😭

Artemis mckee

YES NAO, FINALLY!!!! YOU GO GET YOUR MAN BOO!!!

McKynzee Pivonka

Yes. Just a 100x yes. I am so glad Nao finally did something! And I love how pissed he looked. I can't wait another week!

BiliousBecca

Lowkey my favorite thing about this is that, the only person Arashi can get mad at for this, is NAO! Souta helped her out, and based on his reaction to Nao doing this, he is JUST as surprised/thrown off as everyone else. So this was ALL NAO'S IDEA. She can only be angry at Nao 🤣

WillShipForFood🛥️=🍕

Personally I think the "confession" will be one of them admitting they like guys like Souta saying Nao likes Arashi and Nao saying something like "No I don't! I don't even like girls!"

edenjay

LMAO yessss, about damn time nao!! take charge of what you want and talk to souta!!! whether they argue or peacefully talk, i hope all works out by the end of the ride, lol. if not....... soon. also, inoue's lil blush and keisuke's face in general as nao does that, i love them lol.

lenawithapen

I'm pretty sure the exact translation for Nao's face here is, "Are you f'ing kidding me?" 😂He's so fed up, and I'm so ready for it. Man, have I missed the straightforward and assertive Nao! ❤️ He always gets lonely without Souta, so I can only imagine how he's been feeling. He's got all my empathy... He's trying, but he doesn't have anyone in his corner who actually understands what's going on. (BTW, I love that even the attendant is like "WTF was that?")

Sydney

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!

Rohan Naik

Did not have that in my Bingo card at all. Much excitement for next episode.

MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!!!!!!🥳🥳

André Dircksen

Get in as friend, get out something more

Teddy Chanel

THATS RIGHT BABY YOU GET YO MAN 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Pikturit

I don't think anything is going to be confessed just yet. Too easy. I think Souta will admit he was helping Arashi, but I don't know to what extent he'll say. They'll start to reestablish some kind of communication, and hug for the rest of the ride. When they get out, Arashi left, and gave Keisuke the tickets to return to Souta, taking it as rejection.

Sweet

I was kinda waiting for Arashi to be rejected, but I am definitely not complaining 🙂‍↔️🫣

Aud

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP. This updated right before my therapy appointment so I told my therapist about how happy it made me 😭😂

Zarrytan

I can't tell who's more astound, Arashi or me?! This is the move from Nao I did not see coming but had hoped for. I'm loving how angry Nao looks. He means business and I hope Souta is ready for it.

Ran Shindo

Inoue blushing... She must be rooting for Nao and Souta real hard in her mind right now 😭

Dug

YES 🙌

cragy

AHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA

choco_milk6969

Aw don’t stop it at best part. Looks like I gotta be patient for next week

Susannah Read

YESSS NAO KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS AND HES GOING FOR IT

SleetMage

Why do I feel like this is going to be one of those "arguments that ends in a kiss" type situations? Also, Arashi's reaction is so funny.🤣🤣

Hime

OMG i'm smiling rn like a clown in the office

Novicity

I don't know if I can wait a while week after this, the anticipation is gonna end me oh myyyy goddddddd 🥺🥺😭😭😭

Airy

How can I wait for another week after this!!!😫😫✨

TaySteeg

Nao is going to demand answers. The question is, will Souta give them?

OliveOil

Yknow what... there's not enough patience in the world. Time for some more rereading 👓

Ragazza!

Finally!! When Nao rushed to grab souta I was like yes! A conversation!

Quinn

YES TELL EM HOW YOU FEEL

na_marie

ZimzalabimMelodyClub

BK

YESSSS THANK GOD

Stef

bro the look on her face at the end 😂😂

Tiffany Rawson

And souta will be cold at the top of the wheel, without his coat... I'm hopeful for a sweet conclusion to their talk. Fingers crossed!

Elizabeth Eva

keisuke: YAAASS MY BOI GONNA GET HIS BOI

Nie

YESSSSSSSS THIS MADE MY DAY

Tempest Eaves

Nao is pissed and now Souta can’t run away from him 😭

nyanpixel

GET EM NAO 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

TaySteeg

Two emotional teenage boys in an enclosed space where doesn't understand what's going on and the other not ready or willing to explain... Plus Nao's reaction now has me wondering if he's viewing Souta's withdrawal after everything he supported him through as a betrayal. Well all know Nao tends to lash out when his emotions run high. This can go very very badly.

UnicornSwag52

I AM LOSING MY MINDDDD IM SO GAGGED IVE REREAD IT 7 TIMES!!! NAO STEPPING UP! THAT FIRST FRAME OF HIM ALL PISSED FILLED MY STOMACH WITH SO MUCH DREAD AND THEN BOOM!! SOUTAS SHOJO MOMENT

n0tba7m4n

I hope they make peace. 🙏🏻

Mo

FUCK YES!!!!!!

thedistortedeye

HA! He just said “nah, you ain’t getting away this time”

Kazemi / かぜみ

LESFUCKINGOOOOOOOOOOO Guys, I really thought this was going to be a pipe dream. Nao had done so little for so long that I didn’t except this development at all lmao. But I’m happy to say I am very pleasantly surprised. From last episode, he seemed so done with everything but I wasn’t sure if he would do something to sit with Souta. Or do anything at all. So HELL YEAH LESGO NAO GET YOUR BOY Also everyone’s faces at the end is killing me LMAOOO Keisuke: oh no Inoue: that blushing is the funniest thing Takeo: trying to get a good view of this show Arashi: stay mad The WW Worker: confused but hey Can’t wait for their conversation 🙏🙏 I just know Nao is not letting Souta off easy no matter how hard he fights it (Also it’s very funny to me that Nao had to navigate between Keisuke and Inoue to get to Souta lmao)

uchi

CONFESSION TIME PLEASEEE (Side note, if they confess and start dating I really hope that isn’t the end of the series, I’d love to see how’d they be as a couple..maybe even a time skip😆😆)

pupcuz1

Inoue is like, “Omg… my new ship is sailing?!” The rest of us are just screaming in excitement because Nao isn’t letting Souta escape. Added bonus: Arashi can’t give the stolen birthday present to him. Yeah she was *given* those tickets, but those tickets were really stolen. STAY MAD YA HOMEWRECKER!

Pandyakuza

Let's gooo ! Please no more ANGST. Bring me confort again 🥲😂

Roy

I wanted this but also did not think it would happen !!! Wtf AHH

Madeleine

YEEEESSSSS!!!!! I’m so happy! Slay Noa! Also their faces are so funny!

TyTaco

OMG OMG PLEASE NO MORE ANGST. Let these boys talk we've all been waiting so long.

Pau

As much as I wanted to see Nao rejecting Arashi on the ferris ride, this is so much better! I giggled like a schoolgirl when Nao dragged Souta away, he is so pissed that maybe he'll let something slip? Not a full confession yet since we still have the half confession to go, but maybe he'll say that he doesn't like girls? Or that Souta's is more important to him than Arashi? Or that he's jealous of Inoue?

MsNutLover

OMG IF HE DOESNT KISS HIM!!!!!!😱😱😱 AAFDJSYSUDKDBHDKSKDJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😖😖😖😖😖

Pau

Also Inoue please tell me that you figured out what is going on with those two! Souta is so dense he'll need someone to convince him that he has a chance with Nao or he'll never believe it!

Nana

Let’s goooooooooooo

Solochely

OMG YES!!!! FINALLY!! XDD

What If

I feel like The Neighbourhood really fits the mood and emotions

UDENZE_ANNIE

I wish there was a higher tier for more episodes 😫😩. I'm so ready for more. GIMME MOREEE

Rishi

This is doing wonders for my imagination rn😍

Otome Laundry

I can't stop reading it over and over

Nie

after rereading this for the nth time, i started thinking... WHAT IF nao actually felt that their feelings were mutual but when things were getting good souta distanced himself and now nao thinks its bc souta doesn't actually see him in that way and he's avoiding him for that reason so nao is angry af? IDK man i want it to be next week already 😭😭 i just now my boi nao isnt as dumb and oblivious as little souta. TRUST!!!!!

Moonyena

I'm just going to repeat myself first: "Nao should say if he would like to go with Souta or someone else or maybe, even alone. Or that he doesn't want to go there at all. Anything! They really need Nao's opinion, like we too. It would already be (even tiny) rejection towards Arashi from Nao, but I think she wouldn't take it that way and won't give up that easily." YEES! I'm soooo happy for them! 😍 Even in my own romanceless life nothing goes like I hope, IDCC is still making me more alive, warmer and smiling with its surprises! Thank you, Aina! 🥰 Nao showed (even without words) how HE wants something, finally! His mood is pretty dark right now, but if that helps him to make moves, it's very much needed. 🤭 I hope they won't just fight up there, so the cabin won't fall off... 😶 They both need eachother's words and time now, more than ever. And Souta soon his or someone else's jacket, because he has been without it for a while now and it won't get any warmer there (mayyybe). 🥶😉 It's better this way because Arashi doesn't even see, how upset Nao has been, so her confession would have ended really bad way (like Inoue's before). Nao is totally not in the confession mood. He just really misses Souta's company, thinking Souta doesn't want to be with him at all for some reason. I just hope Arashi won't be hanging on the door outside their cabin. 😅 I'm so gonna buy every IDCC physical books of yours, Aina! When you publish more of them, I'm ready! 💖 Now I can keep sleeping happily. 😴

Emily Caton

He’s like “I can’t believe I’ve fallen for someone so dense that I have to do all the work” *angry face*

Elisse

Well this wasn't on my bingo card at all!! 🤯🤯🤯

Kita

I think Nao is just upset that Souta is showing interest in hanging out one on one with everyone else but him. He’s had enough

Monty Mon

AAAAAH I WAS HOPING NAO WOULD DO THAT LETS GOOOOOO

Zack Quinn

i be staying defending arashi against obvious internal/blatant misogyny within the bl fandom 🫡

Iona

The expression in this update are incredible. I relate to them. I feel more like Inoue rn 🥰🥰🥰 finally Nao is waking up ffff I though he’d never do this. I’m so relieved. For sure I’d have appreciate for Arashi to get rejected but meh. That’s 1000000 times better!! A fucking DISCUSSION!!

Dredlocke

I did NOT see that coming!!

Whish

HOLY CRAP I CALLED IT

shae

i was NOT expecting that omg

The Urge

Half confession theory: Nao is going to ask why Souta blew him off for Inoue. Souta is going to bring up Arashi and suggest Nao is a hypocrite for buying Arashi the guitar, and Nao will say that he didn't do that and he doesn't like Arashi romantically. Souta will say that they seemed pretty close, and that he lets Arashi grab him by the arm all the time. Nao will say that he knows Souta set the two of them up romantically, and Souta will get mad and say that he felt their chemistry and that he didn't do anything wrong. Nao will accuse him of trying to get him a girlfriend so he can run off with Inoue, and Souta in the heat of the moment admits he got over Inoue months ago. Nao will be shocked and Souta will realize what he just said. And he'll admit that he only said what he said to avoid the weirdness of what he saw as a on-sided kiss offer. Nao will admit he only said it was a joke because Souta hesitated and he thought Souta would think it was weird if he hadn't said that. And now they're acting with the understanding they they're mutually attracted to each other in a gay way but not quite sure how far this goes. And there's the half confession. Then they either impulsively kiss or they just walk out and Nao announces they need to have a talk alone.

Nao is Like „I need my Souta-Time NOW“ and I love it 😍

PikasWife (•bruh•)

Arashi being at the front in the final panel means she ran after him😭

Laura

Myri

I didn’t see that coming😳 How can it be that all my predictions are always wrong hahahah but I’m kinda glad tho~ Maybe the half confession it’s on its way ~ Also the comments are so funny hahaha it’s mostly people screaming hahahah love it 🤣💕

Beanie

Inoues blush, ME TOO GIRL, ME TOO

Ava

I KNEW IT! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

Beanie

this feels like every time my mom has taken me along for a car-ride and it turns out to be "we're gonna talk somewhere you can't escape"-time instead of a groceries trip

Iona

Idk you guys. But I need Arashi to know that Nao isn’t in love with her. Maybe I’d even like it if she knew about his feels toward Souta, on the condition that she’s an ally ofc (or more?). She really needs it, it’s just awful rn. Both Nao and her being oblivious to each other makes it soooo painful to watch. Also I think she’d understand maybe what she’s done wrong and it’d give her an opportunity to get better, like by giving back what Souta stupidly gave her, and apologize for getting in between them numerous times while blatantly ignoring Souta. I mean. Souta really deserve excuses to be made both from Nao and Arashi imho. Also I’m kinda glad she actually said ty to Souta. She’s being considerate for once, I appreciate it. But I’d like it more if she had been respectful and considerate *from the beginning* and not once Souta becomes useful to her. I think I even begin to feel pity for her rn cause like. Nao really behaves stupidly. He’s not putting boundaries where they should be, he’s not clearing things up. Such an ikemen… Ngl Im allergic to that kind of behavior irl. Both of them have been awful, I just hope they both can grow up into saner adults. Anyhow. I’d have appreciate for her to get rejected clearly so that nothing would’ve been left ambiguous. Buuuut omg I’m so glad Nao stood tf up and they end up together in the cabin!! 🥰

After 10,000 rereads of this part, I have decided to interpret Takeo's reaction as him realizing the love birds he needed to "sabotage" are Nao and Souta, not Nao and Arashi. 🤣

Judge D

I don't want to get my hopes up I feel like it's actually going to get worst, and he won't tell him how he feels.

Philo Darm

I keep rereading this ahhh, like I wanna be excited but knowing how Nao is mad, I have a feeling it’ll just be a fight again, especially since Nao is kinda frustrated rn and Souta is definitely not gonna just open up right away, but hopefully they manage to work it out, idk I’m both so ready and not ready for the next update fr 😭

soochstan

i decided to finally cave and stop torturing myself on tapas for a bit and now i need another early access to the episode not even out yet because what do you mean cliffhanger 😭🖤

Hermione

I see… NOBODY talking about this. Anyone see that Nao and Souta are the first people entering the Ferris wheel??? That means they’ll be the first ones off it out of all the group. You know what that means?? After their talk about Nao wanting to spend more one on one time with Souta, they’re going to run off together before everyone else gets off the ride!

Hermione

So… Jealous Nao + Mad Nao = Decisive Get The Fuck Out My Way Nao

Goshdarnit

Just had a dream they kissed in the next chapter yall
