Martha M

HE’S BLUSHING

DearNeptune!

Sato! 🤣🤣🤣 You can't tease him right now, he's just a baby. But also, keep going, he needs it. Just in these panels alone, Souta already looks so much better. The shock got him and now the calming feel of solidarity and community. I'm so happy for him.

kellyyyyy💕

imagine the real rival is him 😭

Pikturit

Another one! Yay

Am

HIS CHEEKY SMILE AHAHHA I'm so so glad Souta is finding more people he can talk to, relate to, confidence in.. especially when it comes to his sexuality, he can talk to Keisuke but Keisuke will never fully understand. I'm so so excited for this chat to unfold, and what it means for Souta/his emotions!!! EEEEK!

Gutokun

I love a queer friendship

SamIAm2

Damn roasted lmao

BiliousBecca

Awwww yay!! Souta needs this soooooo much!! Sato's gonna be a great influence

rae of sunshine

they're so cute??? souta NEEDS a sweet big brother figure to look up to

K1w1

Got me smiling ear to ear from how wholesome this interaction is 🤭

july

HAHAH god I love Sato 😭😭😭 absolutely bless his soul, this is exactly what Souta needs rn

tsunderephant

ueee I like that he’s being so lighthearted about it, it makes things a lot more comfy when a serious topic is met with familiarity and gentle jokes I think!

Ran Shindo

Is it just me or is Sato flirting with Souta??? 😭

😴

THIS IS SO CUTEE im so glad he has someone to talk to😞❤️

Anako

Yes, YESSSSSSSSSSS THIS IS WHAT I NEEDEDDDDD

Veiwan

I LOVE HIM SO MUCHHHHH😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sekai

God, please let this make Nao jealous and finally realize his feelings and confess. I’m begging you! 😭

Tink

Sato makes a good point but I'm glad Souta opened up to him and that he doesn't feel so alone anymore re this particular feeling! I'm very much looking forward to next week :D!

Bella

Lol I love his teasing and also he didn’t HAVE to share anything but the fact that he did to help Souta feel understood when he’s obviously struggling is EVERYTHING😫💛

blayke

HE BLUSHED!

Taytorade

Souta really did luck out with having a coworker who not only was cool with his sexuality, but also someone who understands what it's like, I don't think my heart could have handled if Sato wasn't a good dude 😭😮‍💨

DearNeptune!

I'm so happy he can have this talk. That Sato is holding the conversation as he would any other to make sweet sunshine boy realize by more than just words that this is really okay.

hani✨

hes so prettyyyyy

WillShipForFood🛥️=🍕

PLEAAAAASE it would be so cool if Souta started hanging out with him more and Nao less so that Nao gets jealous and DOES SOMETHING

The1Phoenix

Usually, I don't like the trope. However, this time around, I absolutely would NOT mind if Souta decided to take a nice scenic detour down Sato Avenue while he is driving to his final destination on Nao Street. 😏

Nikki C.

Omg awww I love this episode. Souta needs this

BiliousBecca

Also, I can totally see why Sato is popular with the ladies 😏😂🥰

Sydney

i see something blooming 😏

Zarrytan

I love this budding friendship. For so long, although surrounded by friends, Souta seemed to feel alone. He can finally share his true self with someone and have that someone understand him. I'm high key hoping this leads to a development in their friendship 😌

ELE É ELE É ELE É

Parranda

I’m sorry English it’s not my first language what does it mean feeling down in the dumps?

Nik

This connection with Sato is gonna be so good for Souta and so good for ussssss. Thank you, Aina! 🖤

Sutton

AHHHHH CUTEA

Shar

Sato is a tease, I love it.

thedistortedeye

You know what… from the very moment he made the girlfriends joke I suspected he was gay… sometimes my gaydar with fictional characters is almost impressive (almost)

Ana Burciaga

Omg I’m calling it now Souta will start walking to work with him after school and not home with Nao and Nao will be jealous hehe

jen

omg this is so cute i love them 😭

catto

GDDIBGUB THANK YOU SATO

Kat

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH 😭🧎🏻‍♀️💖

PetitLikeMe

That's why representation and talking about it like it's any other normal thing on this earth matters. So you find like minded people and surround yourself with the life and love you deserve.

Rishi

Read himmm😋

Zack Quinn

oh nao is gonna have a field day with this one

lenawithapen

I can already tell that this chapter is going to be so good for my heart. 🥰

churrry

lmaoaoaoa souta’s blush was saur cuteeeeee

Kaitlin Anderson

This is healing my heart and clearing my skin.

Yumaaa

This convo will be so healing for souta!! He really needed to hear that he probably has met a lot of queer people without knowing…hopefully he can connect the dots and realise this could apply with nao too 😩😩

Rvn

I cant wait for the friendship! I want them to walk to school together, hang out together, spend quality time and look like a couple so Nao sees what he's missing! Don't think I want them to date, just because I don't want Sato to get hurt or be reduced to some crazy rival. Buuuuuuuut I also wouldnt say no to them dating for a little then mutually breaking up and Sato finding himself another guy.

mangokoni

sato being gay proves my gaydar is still functional bc i clocked that the moment we were introduced to him

Fairy Fawn ♡

Can someone please remind me which chapter Sato first appears in? 🙏 I want to go back and read 💕

So'

This exchange is healing everything !

So'

" it's the first time I meet anyone like me" he really needed that 🙏

Dani

Where is this playlist that everyone’s referring to?

Elisse

CRYING. I LOVE SEEING THIS SOLIDARITY AND FRIENDSHIP.

Hector G

Love that Souta is potentially finding a little chosen family of his own whenever he may need folks who can understand him a bit more than others

Presley Wyatt

i think it’s become extremely evident (to the readers that is) that the problem with nao and souta isn’t nao not reciprocating his feelings, it’s that nao doesn’t want things to change. ge explicitly states this (i know im late chill) but never states that he doesn’t feel any romantic attraction towards souta. that’s because HE DOES! nao makes it very clear in scenes that we see of him (washing the dishes after the whole kiss thing, buying souta the shoes, all the worry when souta was pushing him away) but it’s never conveyed to SOUTA himself. so obviously when souta hears that nao doesn’t want things to change he automatically believes that his feelings aren’t reciprocated (and honestly atp i don’t think it matters whether they are. some part of souta needs that relationship to change). it’s a very important detail in nao’s character that he doesn’t really trust himself with any sort of relationships (friends, family, romantic, whatever) because of his past experiences. souta was his first and is one of his only friends who was with him through a whole lot of stuff making him extremely important to nao. it’s pretty obvious that nao doesn’t trust himself to be able to upkeep a relationship with souta. it took him a very long time to trust in their friendship and even now there have been several moments where it’s clear that he thinks he’s gonna ruin it somehow. HOWEVA! when he realizes that his rejection hurt souta he goes back and tries to chase him- he tries to fix things. but i think because he gets in his head and starts believing that their friendship is fragile he believes that he’s very replaceable. this is where soutas coworker is falling in. nao don’t know this man. he’s realizing (or assuming) that there’s a side of soutas life that he doesn’t know (which isn’t that big it’s just soutas job but nao doesn’t know that) and thinking that souta can fill noa’s role with anyone but nao can’t do that with souta. throughout this series nao has only gone to one person for comfort and that’s been souta. but now he’s witnessing souta find comfort (CAUSE NAO HURT HIM) in some complete stranger to nao. so no nao is not gonna chase after him or get mad at souta. he feels bad and doesn’t have trust in their friendship or a possible relationship because he thinks he messed it all up and now is being easily replaced. i also don’t think soutas coworker is going to make nao automatically want to be with souta now out of jealousy. i think it may spark some but i think after his chapter im seeing him more as a guide for souta on how to accept himself (something he still has a hard time with-a clear theme/conflict in the story). this dude seems like he has a more stable thought process when it comes to his identity and can teach souta a lot. but it also makes a future conflict clear-he’s further teaching souta that people don’t accept this kind of stuff. he talks about how he doesn’t really tell people which i think is normal but knowing souta he either took it really chill or is gonna go bonkers and worry about telling anyone. anyway that’s my scoop!

TyTaco

I'm feeling New Bestie vibes. Maybe even Nao being jealous for a change. I'd love it not getting dragged out forever but I live in reality so I know it'll be another 3 years before any more romantic motion happens. 🤣

Hannah

aww i’m hoping a good friend

adzie @doodlesphan

i have decided i am shipping Sato and Takahashi for no reason other than I love them both and think it would be neat

Hermione

Just need to say real quick, that it has been a WHILE since I’ve seen Souta blush. Thank goodness

Diadia20

For some odd reason, this chapter made me forget all about Nao lol I’m getting more curious to see how this new friendship will develop and what sort of new crazy drama will unfold🤩🔥🤤♥️

Kaido

Aww, I'm glad Souta was able to talk to Sato. Reminds me of that Barbie movie "pauper and princess" soundtrack "Your just like me, I'm just like you". lol, anyways that was in my mind during this talk. I'm getting side track so let's continue on. I'm happy about this talk so much and previous on the last chapter comments. I said something along the lines, that I hope this arc brings out more confidence in Souta. Which I really hope so. And Souta being more accepting of himself and that's it's okay. Him telling himself that "I'm proud of who I am and I'm okay, I'm happy." I just want him to feel that sense of relief to let go. Hopefully Sato and Souta friendship blooms. He gives off wise older brother energy where helps guides Souta through this new era of acceptance.

Kappathefish

Souta deserved this. I love Nao but he needs to work through his shit

Kazemi / かぜみ

okay okay look. I knew. Sato was gonna tell Souta he understands liking guys. Somehow, him being outright gay was on my “too much to be true” list. That said, I am very happy I was wrong lol. Anyways, I’m so, so happy Souta found someone like him. He’s been needing it so much. Sure Keisuke and Inoue were very supportive but neither of them could share the same struggles he does. And that’s perfectly okay, sometimes you just want your friends to accept you and nothing more. But Sato being the gay older brother who can relate to his struggles is such a relief. I hope Souta comes out (lol) of this talk with a better understand and more support. And maybe a smile on his face. Also Sato is absolutely correct, you don’t out yourself to random coworkers just because you’re sad loooool. That blush panel is adorable btw. He looks so squishy.

Stephanie

Who am I supposed to ship again part 2? 😭

nico

Souta: NO ME QUEMES AMIGO

BK

If the love rival spoiler has a double meaning and means Nao is getting a rival for Souta….. oh I’d be so here for it.

PikasWife (•bruh•)

I hope Nao gets his own Sato too💔 bro desperately needs another support system besides Souta

Heehee

I forgot who Sato is. How does he know Souta again?

Holden

Yo he single

tamar levy

I'm at peace. this is so wholesome

aki

I love this man and if anything happens to him i will commit atrocities

Heidi

I love Souta he deserves the world, such a cutie 😭😭😭🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Heidi

I think Nao will see them interacting and make him WAKE UP. Or push him away further 😭 (pls no)

Jay

Nooo give him his eye-bags back he looked so sexy

catto

BRO THAT SMILE AT THE END... SATO IS DOING FOR SOUTA WHAT SOUTA WOULD FOR NAO 🥹🥹

Bubbles🫧

My two queer babies🥺❤️

rin

baha! 🤣

KJ

Souta is SO cute like he’s so baby

Nati nah

they are adorable 🥺 I hope this helps Souta understand he is not alone in this 💖

Cyber

I really hope this stay a queer platonic relationship bc they’re isn’t enough rep for that 🙏

Iona

I love what is happening to them rn. Souta really needed that and the sweetness they are sharing rn. I think it’s clear Aina came up with that scene later on cause I don’t see it in the playlist. But if there was, what do yall think would be the music associated to queer friendship?

ScuttlebuttScootScoot

Awwww it’s a good thing he did tell a random coworker while down in he dumps though cuz otherwise he would never have found community. I looooove that he has this connection now. He sorely needed it.

Forest

i love queer friendships😭☺️

Casimir

✨the community✨

charlie

LMFAOOOO he kinda got you souta

SilviaLuna

Forshadowing for Nao being Bi too maybe?

Kyndo

lol get his ass 😂

Sarah

Roasted lmao

Rishi

I wonder if Nao’s feeling lonely rn. Someone often comes in to comfort Souta but Nao would never let anyone in that easily😭💔

Deirdre

Souta 😭😭💔

Fen

Clocktina on that last bit—mercilous.

choco_milk6969

“I bet you’ve met many more without realizing it - it’s the kind of thing most keep to themselves” yeah, like nao 🤭

Procra

Not sure if I can wait till tonight ( passing out renaissance lady gif)

Yesa

Lmao he's right though, it often doesn't go well even with people you're close to, Souta got lucky this time.

Chip Kelvin

I knew this was coming! Souta finally has a Queer friend he can relate too!

Katie

SOLIDARITY!

A. E.

Ahh...teaching the newbie😂😂😂

Anamonique Nau

Impulsive … that’s a puberty brain for you …

EmilyEdenReads

Okay, call me crazy, but does anyone else think Takahashi is one of the many more Souta has met without realizing it? 👀 I’m re-reading from the beginning and so far I’ve clocked: “Nao, get over here, you stud!” (Fireworks chapter) “Most beautiful!” (Taka referring to Big Ben) “This is your gentle wake up call ❤️” after blowing in Souta’s ear 😂) “Don’t worry your pretty little head.” (When Nao apologizes after returning from Hokkaido)

Jessica Whale

Aina instead of 'It's the first time I meet anyone like me' shouldn't it be 'It's the first time I've met anyone like me', sorry for the correction but I assume that's the right wording 🙂‍↕️
