Lou

Teddy Chanel

Prediction This is when Nao realizes he has feelings for Souta, has been in love; and knowing he gave up these tickets for the girl that likes him - either he goes into a rage and confront souta or leaves crying that it wasn’t souta

leen

Finny

I'M DYING OF LAUGHTER 🤣

StoryWriterFL

Boom..... try to explain that 😆

SleetMage

I'm going to be honest, Arashi slipping up on the last panel is probably the best possible place for the cliffhanger.

jjelly

PLEASE

Ivyyy

OMG YES YES YES

Beuuuuuuhhh

Justo hoy se me acabó la suscripción 😭 en el momento más importante Tendré que ahorrar para la siguiente

Ava

OH MY GOD! OKAY IT'S HAPPENING! EVERYBODY STAY CALM!

rwbq

OH YMGOD.

Lo Ry

YES YES YES FINALLY PLEASE LET NAO KNOW PLEAAASE

RENO

Oh wow... he's down BAD

Link

HES GOING TO KNOW!!!!

Sora

But I high key think that Nao has such a negitive experience with romantic relationships because his parents were so toxic to each other so maybe seeing Souta wanting romance made him panic because to him Souta is really important in his life that he's scared that romance would taint thier relationship because he was tramatized by his parents toxic relationship and has yet to be in a serious romantic relationship since the most he's probably done is experiment once in a while. I'm intrested in to seeing how they'll navigate and reach the same page with each other eventually

Mimi

crazy how he became more talkative with her when he imagined her as souta 💀💔

FallingPixie

He's- He's wishing Souta was there!!! She just thanked Souta for the tickets!!! This- this is good. This is great its going places man. He even wanted to tease Souta about his crush in the cutest way omg I can't right now 🥰👏

kara

someone play andrew in drag

itoldya590

OH MY GOD?? ITS TIME

Roy

My jaw droppedddd omg hes finally realizing 😭😭

Cloudy!

nao is so down bad and he doesnt even know it 😭 first he teased souta about them kissing and then teased imaginary souta about holding hands

Procra

😭😭😭😭😭😭 that was sooooo perfect I’m gonna die.

Rishi

The daydream has me weakkkk omggg

itoldya590

NAO LIKES SOUTA CONFIRMED AND SOUTA BUYING THE TICKETS HAS BEEN REVEALED?? I CANT WAIT UNTIL NEXT WDDK

Raverin .

when I saw Nao imagining Arashi as Souta I said out loud verbatim “holyyyy fucking shit brother ohhhh my god” and I think that really encapsulates my feelings about this update

doingus

OH MY GOF. OH MY FO OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD IM FREAKIKG OUT TRALLT BAD GIYS. GUYS IM FREAKING OHT SO MUCH OMH TLEONAOAB OH MY GFOD OW OBWW OW WKK NO WPWNEW

kal

IM SCREAMING OM FUCKINF SCREAMING

Rishi

Ahhhhh I’m scared

Procra

And oh my god they look so cute with their outfit!

emms

I took like 10 pauses reading this update. This was so much for me that I had to actually go outside and actually touch grass.

AzulFire

OMG THIS IS SO PERFECT!!!

Halee

Every exciting thing aside in this update, we got some very cool, very rare expressions from Nao!! Teasing/flirting Nao oh how I’ve missed you

Pwola

thank you WHAT

Zarrytan

Did you hear that? It was my jaw hitting the floor 😭 Out of all the people who could have spilled the beans on who actually bought the concert tickets, Arashi was not at the top of my list. Somehow having her give Nao the information makes it that much more gut wrenching. Now, where will Nao take it it from here, and will he be too late?

Rishi

Nao just say you love him🙄🙄

Rishi

I’m glad she wasn’t hiding it tho!!

Beck

Ahhhh the lore was finally dropped on nao. Hes gotta reckon with the fact that souta bought those tickets cuz he knows nao well enough to know he would love this concert

cha0ticneutral

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! Also I'm so excited to hopefully get more of Nao's perspective on things-- we've been getting hints but I'm excited to hopefully get some more insight into what he's feeling. My personal theory is that he knew he liked Souta but was too afraid of losing him for it to be worth the risk given how much loss/abandonment he's experienced, e.g. he's finally in a place of stability and is afraid he might go back to floating in space alone if he loses Souta (and a part of him probably believes that that'd be inevitable because #trauma).

Mayazra

Bro is being so normal right now

~Jess~

LETSGO SHE TOLDD HIM AND HE WISHES SHE WAS SOUTAAAA😭

Toast

This might be the most insane update we’ve gotten in forever? I’m—

kal

this gay ass is HALLUCINATINGGG !!! 😭

BiliousBecca

Nao's gonna be furious when he learns Souta worked so hard to make money to buy the tickets then just handed them to Arashi because he assumed Nao likes her and would rather go with her... like, Nao's literally imagining/hallucinating being at this concert with Souta... it could have been reality. I'd be furious if I were Nao.

Rishi

I’m scareddd I don’t really think Nao quite understood Souta’s feelings this might be a wake up call

Emmy Lexus

Yaaaaaaaassss this is it, his moment of enlightenment! Let's hope we don't have to suffer too much longer before we get our happy boyfriends arc ❤

Ugh1ife

AHHHHH THANK YOU

Ells

IM LOSING MY MINDDDD

The Last Tree Star

Ohhh!! I didn't expect her to tell him! Things are about to get soooo interesting! Also, him flirting with not-Souta. Gahhh!!!!

Procra

I feel relieved that the tickets thing is on the table now. Like, I was so stressed every time nobody said anything about that. Every update was a deception. Now I’m like, I can wait because I know 😌

Chloe Mechelle

“Thank you Ue-“ IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UP🗣️‼️

KBird

Oooo she tattles on herself, I love it.

AngieLovesBL

HOLY SHIT I NEVER THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE THE ONE TO TELL HIM!!!!!!! 🤯

Chloe Mechelle

AUTHOR YOU HAVE BEEN FEEDINGGGG US👸

rwbq

I keep rereading this

Imagine4SG

YESSSSSSS OMG IT FINALLY SLIPPPEDDDDDD I'VE BEEN WAITINGGGGG

lenawithapen

Oh man, what an amazing update. I LOVE the whole hallucination scene. Did not see that coming, but man, did I need it. I also love how Nao's tone and vibe completely change the moment he thinks he's with Souta and not Arashi. He's back to being snarky and cheeky (and flirty) and fun. We finally get to see a little bit of that fire that makes him a interesting character. More. More. More. 😁

Shar

Thank you Arashi for finally slipping up. And omg Nao, you're gone. Stop fighting it.

Kingston.bro

Ao notice how the soft smile nao give pretend souta is the exact same as the "do u want to try kissing smile". The authors ablity to create micro expression and have them be soo linked to specefic scenerios is insane. I like now we kinda know that expression wasnt just in souta head and it is tied to some affection nao has for souta (indicated by the sparkles that appear around his eyes)

James Wearing

At those final words my cold dead heart began to beat again. There's hope!

Imagine4SG

also seriously nao how are you going to be sat next to one of the prettiest girls ever and still thinking about souta help😭 nao loves him so much i cant. ahhhh i hope they both still get to have a good time at the concert, even though arashi's finally slipped that souta had something to do with their tickets!!!! i live for the drama though, this scene HAD to happen!!! so excited for the next part😁🥰

Sweetish

NAO POV?!! EVERYBODY STAY CALM THIS IS NOT A DRILL! I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!🚨‼️‼️

Badgerengineer1995

On one hand Nao’s smile when he said “yeah” while imagining Souta was SO SO precious and Apache m adorable. On the other hand the secret is now coming out about the tickets which is going to cause so much drama but also I can’t wait to see how Nao reacts to this news.

Nat

Jag kommer!!!!

Stickabee

GOOOOD THE WAY HIS BANTER TRULY FLOWED WHEN HE WAS IMAGINING SOUTA IN HER PLACE AND ARASHIS SURPRISE BECAUSE HE JUST ISNT LIKE THAT WITH ANYONE BUT SOUTA. i just know nao is gonna be hit like a truck when it comes out souta gave her those tickets, likely connecting it to the part time job.....i need to time travel the wait is going to make me insane

Rosie 030

OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING !!! Also that’s so sad and cute! Wdym you’re imagining him next to you right now?! 🥲🥲🥲🥲

Javi

Oooooh, igual pensé que ella iba a decirlo en algún momento!!

Kastey

I’m literally screaming over there. IT’S BOUTTA GO DOWN SIR

_Star_ Flight_

AHHXUDTDOYDRUYSEFXJFUYZR I was not ready for this!! omg i was thrown so many times, things just kept happening!! RAHhhhh I love this update!!!!

Maki na łące

I debated like 3 seconds with myself if I actually feel sorry for Arashi right now. But nope.

Nat

Souta daydreams about kissing Nao, and Nao daydreams about flirting with Souta 😭. May your daydreams come true 💘

IwantJollofrice

THIS IS IT, OMG THIS IS IT. IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING AHHH!!! 😆😆😆

Rohan Naik

I feel bad for Arashi, that little blush, she's fallen hard for Nao, even though he's been distant and lacking all affection but she still hasn't cottoned on. Now she'll fixate on this one moment of affection that wasn't even about her.

Kat

IM SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP😭😭😭😭😭

Tiny Ez

NAO IS FINALLY GOING TO REALIZE HOW HE FEELS

jen

Well she let that secret slip way quicker and easier than i thought😂 Also, did nao make that WHOLE EXCHANGE WITH SOUTA ALL UP IN HIS HEAD? I cant- HELP this poor guy has his gay heart broken he’s literally hallucinating souta 😭 Nao u r so downbad, I also kind of love it tho but it was actually frying me cuz he rlly just forgot who he was with for a moment 😭😭😭

Cassie

Omg I don’t think I breathed at all while reading this chapter. And the gasp I gasped at the last panel!! IT’S HAPPENING!

SaltyButSad

LATE CUZ I HAD TO WAIT FOR MY WORK BREAK LMAO BUT IM GOING INSANE yeah the reveal of the tickets and nao imagining souta but the “like you wouldn’t wanna hold my hand” or whatever is making me CRAZY what’s his problem (lovingly)

OLB

Reminds me of Soutas daydream

HighFlyer

Welp you done messed up!

Awphinesse

NAO NAO! SNAP THE FUCK OUT OF IT! 😭 YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET HIT BY A TRUCK

Hector G

Pescladies

Kade

ITS HAPPENING STYA CALM ONG

Kade

IM SO EXCITED FOR NEXT THURSDAY

RueRU

He’s afraid to be loved your honor

Andy

RAAAAHHHHH

n3wl!f3

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally he learns the truth. Bet he is going to leave the concert to find Souta

DearNeptune!

Reverse parallel to Souta imagining Inoue and getting Nao. Aina, you've done it again. *cue campy canned laughter*

chloe benton

I’ve been reading this storyline since it basically came out and omfg I’ve waited yEARS for this damn slow burn im so excited

stnara

OH MY GODDD

Sarah

This was a devastating cliffhanger. But, yay! Also get your head in the game, Nao😂

Sarah

It's giving "it broke my heart to put that tumor is her head" lmaooo

TT

I am having a VISCERAL reaction to this whole episode!!! AINA!!! I could cry right now, and in fact, my eyes might be a little teary. 🥺 🥹 This update is a GIFT!!! 💝😍

Rachel Winters

Oh man, he has it bad. Kinda nice to see his side of the feelings instead of just Souta’s. And yay, she finally mentioned Souta getting her the tickets! That makes me so happy and actually makes me like her a little bit.

Azherwind

ooouf things are about to go DOWN, poor Arashi, poor Nao, I'm so excited to see how this all plays out

sleeption

this might officially be the gayest thing I've ever seen. Nao you have this super cute girl right next to you AND YOU'RE IMAGINING SOUTA OH MY GOD BRO

Susannah Read

That was a diabolical cliff hanger and now I have one week to wander what will happen

MrMonochromatic

I'm really glad she showed some gratitude at the end there, after getting to the event. I was afraid it was just going to be that quick thanks when she got the tickets. Even if she can't have Nao, free concert✨️

Caru Zu

Hasta ahora este es mi capítulo favorito. Las emociones de Nao se ven reflejados en sus pensamientos y Arashi es traicionada por sus palabras. Que se sepa la verdad!!!

ALICE

FINALLY!!!!!! We all saw it coming but this was just SOOO worth the wait ☺️

Cory

It's kinda messed that Nao is imagining Arashi as Souta, and then accidentally flirting with her in his place! but I will take whatever this cruel desert may offer me. Like how can Nao not connect dots about how he feels 😩 I have to assume that Nao already knows how he feels about Souta but he's scared of the relationship one day ending so won't go for it? Either way this is painful and I can't believe she's about to finally drop some sweet sweet, well needed, tea ☕️🫖 my god this story always has me hooked :^:

Bella

Not him finally smiling when imagining its Souta 😭ALSO OMG THE TIME HAS COME IM SO READY👏😖

Pandyakuza

oh wow, Aina... That's a really good cliffhanger , but a really bad way to end my week !!!!! 🥲❤️

PikasWife (•bruh•)

HOLY SHIT YALL OMG MULTIPLE OF MY WISHES CAME TRUE AAAAA (Nao imagining Souta and the tickets stuff)

Seven

its so great to finally have Nao's pov

Gina rodgers

OMGGG!!! Pleasseeee give us the next episode!!! You know how painful it is to be on a cliffhanger like this 😭😭

Cas

Yes!!!! Nap pov

Rishi

NAO WAS ROBBED😭💔

Alex

He’s gonna leave

daws

FINALLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY

Hannah

omg he gonna leave and souta is going to be kissing that other guy 🤡

Zaladric

I'm kicking and screaming!! I'm gnawing at the bars of my enclosure!! It's happeniiiiiing!!!

Iona

AAAAAAA Im crashing out don’t mind me. How does that sounds so sarcastic when he says this to Arashi, while it’s so flirt if he said it to Souta??? And omg tickets reveal finally ARGH I’ve been DYING. I wan Souta to be acknowledged for his hard work 😭

Tere Chaverri

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT, OH MY GOD IS HAPPENING EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Zaladric

OUR KISS WILL BE LEGENDARY!!

Kingston.bro

I honestly hope this comic doesnt end i cant wait to see how they navigate their relationship once they get together.

Hermione

AHEMMMMM THE FORESHADOWINGGGG!!! HOLLLYYYY!! “Please, like you wouldn’t love the excuse to hold me hand.” UMMMM sirrrr i think it’s the other way around!! We alllll know that YOU’RE the one HOLDING Souta’s hand in the picture of Cold Hand’s!!! Well, that didn’t go as expected at all. I can’t wait for next week and for what happens next. I feel so bad for Nao right now though because he’s so deprived of Souta time that he’s hallucinating that SOMEBODY ELSE is Souta. There’s a major difference here. It’s one thing to daydream about someone when you’re alone or around people, but you don’t typically see anyone around you as the person you’re thinking of. It’s a COMPLETELY other thing to look at someone and involuntarily replacing that person with someone else. He has gone TOO LONG without Souta time🥺. He really gave Souta space… Alsoooo this is really big development for Nao. Him saying that he bet Souta would use any excuse to hold his hand and flirting with him proves that he’s accepted and acknowledges that Souta wants him. In fact, I would say that now he loves it with the way he flirts with him in his head. Also find it funny that Nao is wearing a shirt with a heart monitor on it and a necklace with a ring on it also. All symbols of the heart and love, or could be considered as such. Very sweet and it looks really nice on him.

Cam Cam

HAHA WHAT IS TGIS CHAPTER

Milo

Omg it’s happening guys it’s happening

Tink

Oh!! She mentioned that she got them from Souta sooner than I thought she would! And ahh omg!!! re Nao's hallucination! He also honestly looked a lot better talking to NotReallySouta than he has in what would probably have been a few weeks in their time!

Nik

HERE THE FUCK WE GO (idk where we're going yet but it's definitely somewhere) THANK YOU, AINA! 🙏

TyTaco

ITS. FINALLY. HAPPENING. OMFG.

Amanda Ellis

IT'S HAPPENINNNNNNNNNG!!!!!!

Sophia

I anticipate a misunderstanding, like Nao thinking Souta gave them to her due to him rejecting him or maybe Nao might lock in and realize Souta is his man idk

SavageWolffSoul

I am so late, work is a nightmare BUT I love/hate the crazy ass banter. Like Nao flirted with her by accident, seeing souta in her place. That's gotta be hella mixed signals for her.

EmilyEdenReads

Had to physically set my phone down when he started imagining Souta’s face. 🥲 How can these two imaginary boys hurt and heal me so much?!?

Elvis Zimmermann

We thought he would find out through someone else, but she ACTUALLY just PLAINLY SAID IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM!! She is just a girl with a crush, who, apparently, is not exactly playing dirty. I'M SO EXCITED!!!

ouchmypancreas

AINA YOURE ACTUALLY HILARIOUS I LOVE THE WAY YOU KEEP ME ON MY SEAT

jami

bro is so in love he’s hallucinating 🥴

Taytorade

I DIDN'T THINK ARASHI WOULD LET IT SLIP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Diadia20

Omg YEEESSSS SHE FINALLY SAID IT!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 I NEED THE NEXT CHAPTER NOW😭😭😭

VANNA

I laughed so hard while having a panic attack and giggles... can you imagine if you blurt something like that haha. And finally he is going to find out 🤣🤭💖

kleoplasm

Not exaggerating I literally started sobbing while reading this chapter

rin lol

…oh honey

PAW

Finally!!!!! I cannot wait to see this play out! 👏😭

Ash

I SCREAMED OUT LOUD

Kastiro

i love how his mood completely switches up when he hallucinates souta being there instead of arashi. like even tho nao and souta haven’t really been speaking he just fell right back into that old pattern as if nothing happened. i love🥹

Atlanas E. Kildarin

Uuugh finally. I like this much better than the guess I had about Nao seeing Souta’s name on the tickets. 😆 This has much more emotional impact, especially after that day dream . . . And I hate to be a sceptic, but now I wonder how Nao is going to once again misinterpret things. 😅

Reese J

This might be the CRUELEST cliffhanger ever 😭😭😭. It's been bearable for the last several chapters but MAN oh MAN. The fantasizing is bad enough but actually spilling the truth. Nao is gonna be a bunch of conflicting emotions. I could see him leaving the concert to reprimand Souta. Or at least missing some songs for a frustrated phone call. No sane person would be able to sit through a concert once this bomb drops. If he sits through this concert, no way he enjoys it.

kay

she exposed herself.

churrry

omg i need the next episode right now💔💔💔💔

kay

nao: i wish i was here with shouta instead us: …so…funny story…

GUTT

Get rekt nao

kay

someone needs to hold MY hand

kay

I feel bad for her too😭😭 it’s not like she played dirty to get those tickets

Maisan

At this point I just feel bad for all of them. Arashi’s gonna get her heart broken at her favorite concert, Nao is confused as hell about his feelings, and Souta’s a brokenhearted boy alone on Christmas. I hope everyone ends up okay and that Arashi finds someone who actually loves her so so much.

alchemist

i’m starting to get so uncomfortable with the way people in the comments talk about Arashi, she genuinely has done nothing wrong other than like a guy. she hasn’t overstepped any boundaries or talked bad about anyone…and difference between the way people talk about her and the new guy feels very misogynistic.

Leta

ITS HAPPENING 😱😱😱😱😱

Arah

I LEGIT SCREECHED HOLY SHIT The fantasizing was already insane like okay Nao we are picking up what you are putting down okay okay AND THEN GIRL SAID TY UESHIMA BRUHHHH HIS FACE GOD AINA SO GOOD

Ashley Rodriguez

The plot is plotting so excited!!!! I love all of the characters they’re so cute!

miki

OMG i might throw up

Billy Maz

So excited by these developments! I just hope this isn’t the kind of bl that ends when they finally get together, I NEED at least 12 chapters of fluff! Please!!!

pupcuz1

I forget, did Nao know who bought the tickets? Cause if he didn’t, oooooooh!

Jentle

* pterodactyl screech* YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSUUHHHH

RAE

hehehhehehehhehe

Ari Yez

I was so 'oh no, now she might think that nao likes her....' but GURL WHAT DID U JUST SAY???????? LIKE HELLLLL NAH THIS IS THE MOMENT ITS HAPPENING

Circe

Best birthday gift after 8 years of being a huge fan. Thank you Aina ❤️ Guys, it’s happening 🥹

Kazemi / かぜみ

Oh my god. Oh my god. OH MY GOD. ISEYA NAO DID YOU SERIOUSLY HALLUCINATE SOUTA IN PLACE OF ARASHI WIDVDJHDBSSU OH MY GOD THIS GUY IS DELUSIONAL ITS SO SO OVER. Speaking of over, biggest rip to Arashi. She truly thought she was having the time of her life. The fact that the only time we’ve seen Nao pay attention to her is because he deluded himself into thinking she was Souta is so incredibly heartbreaking :(. Homegirl is gonna get absolutely destroyed by the end of the night. This was not how I imagined things would end for her ☹️ ALSO SHE MENTIONED SOUTA WE WONNNNNN (WE DID NOT) Guys I have not had a crash out over this comic in a very long time and this legit sent me spiraling akdbskusbsish Now next week we’re gonna see Nao crash out and it’s gonna be all over

PI

Ok so he conjured up Souta just to flirt with him 🤨 this man is so far gone and I am loving it 🤭

Liz

AHHH THE HALLUCINATION!! THE ACCIDENTAL CONFESSION!! As a wise man once said. OH YEAH, ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER -Kronk (Not gonna lie I’ve reread the hallucination part like 5 times)

SnowWrite

Noooo I want the next chapter now 😭 waiting another week after this is going to be agony

madness.managed

Guys I read this about 5 billion times by now, I am FED 😋😋😋

Awphinesse

Nah I feel bad for Arashi rn cause now she can only assume Nao reciprocates her feelings to some degree at least, meanwhile Nao is being delusional. 😭

Awphinesse

Nao crash out next week guys 💕✨

Silencio

Wait first things first - is that a type o negative shirt? 😵 Also omg mommy I'm scared, help, I got the vomity butterflies

Awphinesse

"It broke my hearth to put that tumor in her head" ahh situation

BK

Okay one, thank you for the long chapter!! Two, HOLY SHIT ITS HAPPENING

Magspie

Nao…this is WILD behavior 😦

whatsup dude

Beren

mar

nao: *rejects souta* also nao: *daydreams about souta*

Stephanie

Ladies & gentlemen my heart has left the building 😭😭🖤

‘Aidan’

Time for Nao to have his ‘questioning the relationship’ arc

Rox

Can't give him too much crap. Having a sexual awakening is hard thing to process, especially if you're admitting feelings for a best friend. Such a scary thing to potentially "ruin." Such a frail thinv thing.

fish

This comic is genuinely causing me physical pain

Rika 🤭

RAN TO THE COMMENTS, SHE SAID ITTTTT

Quint James

First all, no Nao. You don't get to imagine him there whne HE COULD'VE AND WANTED TO BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Second, having to imagine someone else so that you can have a better time is very TELLING. Third, HE SLIPPED UP AND FORGOT WHO HE WAS REALLY TALKING TO. Fourth, SHE SAID IT! Now he's gonna know and leave and run to his man and confess and aina will come up with some other misunderstanding to happen and our torment will continue.

grrrbarkbark

I CANT DO THIS RIGHT NOW NO NO

Vero Ver

Omg omg omg omg!!!!! I need the next part right feckin noooooow!!!!!!

tamar levy

ughhh my heart. he misses him so much

tamar levy

thank you arashi for that slip up. nao deserves to know!!

tamar levy

nao misses souta so much, they haven't interacted normally for a while now. nao imagining souta in arashi's place just shows how much he wanted him to be the one with him. rejecting souta doesn't mean he doesn't value him as a friend, souta has been such a rock for nao through everything and it's really valid to miss him, even when he rejected him. i feel nao a lot here

Vero Ver

Imagine being dressed up that cute and awesome just to be replaced by a dude in a T-shirt.... 🥲

Rowan

VINDICATION let’s goooooooo

cherriesncitrus

I had to reread up to when Souta gave Arashi the tickets and it in Chapter 51 part 4 - i wonder if Nao will remember Takeo(? I think it was) saying that how is he low on money already

choco_milk6969

This is so cute 😭 I can’t wait for where this is goinggggg

Yunice Lennar

The one time he flirts with her, he thinks of someone else. RIP Arashi. And from her perspective right now the guy she likes finally seems to be into her. Ooof. Poor girl will likely spend tons of time crying because of him.

Dredlocke

OH MY GOD SHE SAID IT

Ariane Loures

Nao is like you wanna kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid

Nanani

Poor Nao must be under a lot of emotional Stress to be hallucinating like that. Stop hurting yourself and get your man asap, I can't take it anymore. Just be happy god damn it!

AWWW ITS A CALLBACK TO WHEN SOUTA WAS FANTASIZING ABOUT NAO UNDER THE EXCUSE OF INOE

Lyana224 .

This was the best morning I had in like forever, thank you Aina for this good morning gift!!!! Let's goooo!!! (Also Nao I see your eyes! You are cooked!)

Lyana224 .

Guys do we have reddit community for IDCC? Or something like that?

Ash

Anyone else a little sad that Nao doesn't get to enjoy the concert fully because of what's going on? Like just imagine if Souta didn't give Arashi the tickets and they went together. They both would have had such a good time 😭! I love what's happening rn dont get me wrong, but I also hate the idea that Nao isn't going to have a good night. Especially after Souta worked so hard so he would

yo mama

bruh $100 rn for the next episode 😭😭😭😭

yo mama

hallucinating him and flirting back …. someone get him his man back already 😭😭

☆

CATS OUTTA THE BAG 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Gaya CyVer

FINALLY SHE SAID IT!!!! AND OMG NAO HAVING FULL-BLOWN DAYDREAMING THAT HE IS WITH SOUTA INSTEAD!! AAAAAAAAAAH!!!

mixhelle

EXCUSE ME HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK 😭😭

Myri

Souta:,,… my straight best friend…’’ The straight best friend in question: daydreams about flirting with Souta LOL

nitbit

that hallucination basically confirms what i’ve been thinking this whole time. Nao has feelings for Souta, he just doesn’t want to admit to them because he doesn’t want their relationship to change.

nitbit

poor Arashi man 😭 here’s to hoping i never become the female rival in a BL that shit is ROUGH

empty

OH OH

empty

the slowest burn EVER

Lily

YESS LEARN HE WAS THE REASON YOURE THERE AND HE CARES FOR YOU THEN FCKN KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE

nyanpixel

ITS TIIIIIME OMG

Chip Kelvin

I think I’ve been reading this since 2017, and man have I grown old while waiting for Nao to sort his feelings out 😂 Yo I’m almost 30!🙂‍↔️ 😭

hazzyalea

ngl the hand holding thing is a crazy thing to say to someone who just confessed to you and you rejected, even in your imagination

perpendorkulate

AHH UESHIMA KUN YES YES YES PLEASE NAO ASK A FOLLOW UP QUESTION I BEG

Beanie

I'm so so so sure she finally mentioned the tickets cause nao flirted with her and reciprocated, giving her the confidence to admit that she got help/was given the tickets cause someone else also saw their chemistry or whatever. I feel so bad for her, despite how little social awareness she has and how little I like her because of that. she's in for a riiiiiiiide, poor girl...

Emily159

This is torture 😭 this cliffhanger should be illegal. I’ve just spent the last hour rereading the last couple chapters to get here again. I did the same thing when Souta confessed cuz my heart just couldn’t handle the cliffhanger and while it wasn’t a continuation of the scene I wanted, I needed to read more of the story. Was going to read this episode before sleeping but idk how I can sleep after this 😭😭

So'

Ahhhhhhh ... I'm so excited !!! OMG ... She did it guys ... And Nao (I like his outfit by the way) who is thinking about Souta... He's so in love ... that's so cute 🥰

So'

"please like you wouldn't love the excuse to hold my hand" ahhhh 😁🥰🦋🦋

mic

I am so excited for the next week update already 🤪 the cat is out of the bag finally! now I need Arashi to confess her feelings as the cherry on the cake 😁

Elisa🩷💜💙

Ahhhhh omg thank you arashi ( even though it wasn’t intentional lol ) btw while reading I kinda forgot that nao rejected souta 😅. Like pls you’re so into him I feel so sorry for him that he doesn’t feel comfortable yet 😕

emms

Love the solid proof that nao is somehow even more down bad than souta

emms

NAO YOUR MASOCHISM IS SHOWING ☹️

Eternally Random

It took me 2 read-throughs to finally figure out that she flat out admitted she didn’t buy the tickets. This is amazing😂

Rebecca

Are you telling me I have to wait a week to see what happens after that?????

J

WOOP THERE IT IS

Casimir

NAO’S POINT OF VIEW! Oh man, we are blessed. And the easy transition to Souta buying the tickets and giving them to Arashi. Thank you, Aina!

Pyrocatnics

OOO she just told on herself (or I guess souta) Loooove the Nao perspective

lyscat

I SCREECHED

Živilė

I was sitting in my car before reading this and when I read the last panel I said YES. I kept saying it all the way back home with huge grin on my face.

ublep

Nao seeing Souta in the flesh. Powered by a wild imagination and an indeniable crush

jami

aina @ arashi: honey you’ve got a big storm coming

Am

I just wanted to say that this is probably one of the most visually stunning updates thus far, I have read this update about 20 times at this point and I can still spot new little details I missed the times before. The way that the panels where Arashi 'transforms' into Souta are also SO well done, both visually and emotionally. I can FEEL the emotions through the screen, and the way it's laid out flows so well. Souta, in Nao's eyes, is SO BEAUTIFUL, his feelings really truly shine through in the panels where he's seeing him. I love them both so much. Also, even though we haven't seen any of it yet, the look of 'what?' on Nao's face at the end... CHEFS KISS.👌🏻 Thank you for always providing for us, Aina 😭

Tina

Crashed out so hard over the latest updates I joined the patreon. God help me

TT

I just keep coming back and reading this episode over and over. My heart is soaring right now. SO GOOD!!!

Caro

I love how Nao's whole demeanor changes once he starts daydreaming about Souta. He looks soo much more comfortable, lively and, of course, flirty 😏

The motivation to keep living for one more week is astronomical

adzie @doodlesphan

i read this at like 4am while having a fever and for a sec didn’t think it was a real update but omg omg i can’t WAAAIT for next week … Nao’s down baaaad!

Dani

Has anybody else connected how similar Arashi and Souta pre crush on Nao are? Very hopeless romantic cutesy sweet. It makes sense why Nao is so content to hang out with her.

Kyndo

OOOOOOOOOOOO SHHHHHHHIIIIIIIII

lenawithapen

Ok, so now I can't help but wonder if Nao actually does this "imaginary Souta" thing all the time. Like, every time we see him just kinda zoned out in the comic, I'm now going to picture him just hanging out and talking to his imaginary Souta. 😂

Amy B

But did you see how Nao VISIBLY relaxed when he thought he was talking to Souta? 🥺

KJ

Im so glad she spilled the beans herself

doingus

yall i genuinely tjink nao has been in love with souta this whole time. i remember in some q&a we begged aina to make them kiss, but this was way back when they didnt really get along, but nao was super flustered after the fact and said ‘i cant believe i kissed him’ or something of that line. and when he told souta he never hated him, and he always left him wanting more. and the face nao gave souta in that chapter is likethe exact face he made whenever he hallucinated souta in this chapter… nao was always looking at souta bro i swear he always wanted him just trust me. he probably rejected souta because that would make it too real, especially given the relationship his parents had.. he hasnt seen too much good in romance until probably souta. and that is scary….. TRUST GUYS

hani✨

*rereads for the 10th time*

♡ icy ♡

THIS CHAPTER IS NUTS OMG

Nicholas

OMFG NO FUCKING WAY

Sweetish

I think she never intended to keep the tickets a secret , I’m hoping she will be transparent to Nao about it because she did seem very genuinely thankful to Souta. I’d imagine her saying something like “Ueshima-kun had generously gifted these to me since I was struggling to figure out what to get you for Christmas. He figured you’d enjoy it more with me than him” (sumthin like that idk😭) Regardless, I really don’t think she has any ill intentions towards Souta or lying about the tickets:) I can’t really blame her for taking the tickets especially since Souta lied about how he got them (otherwise it seemed she would have rejected them) My hopes for next chapter are 1) Arashi is honest about how she got the tickets from and 2) Nao doesn’t take out how upset he is on her when he figures out. Then again that is in a perfect world, these are all silly teenagers who just need to communicate 😭💕

Natali

This was so peak it got me through my shift

Jo Haris

YESSSS SHE LET IT SLIPPPOOOOOOO YESSSSSSS

Procra

I can’t wait for this week episode 😭😭😭😭

Skyler Taite

Were apprently getting raptured on Wednesday can we have the new update before that 😂😂😂😂

hani✨

broo how is it only tuesday I can’t stand the wait any longer

KATE

What if Nao in previous chapters imaged Souta projected onto Arashi (idk the logic is the other way or if that is correct you get it) thats why he said tha Souta and Arashi would get along.. when he wanted Souta to meet arashi for first time.

EmilyEdenReads

Y’all I was only going to do Patreon for one month because the “Illumination” chapter was KILLING me, but then THIS episode drops the day before I was going to cancel. Soooooo, I’m not canceling 😅

madness.managed

Yall I'm so excited for the next episode!!!!!!!

Procra

It’s today 😭😮‍💨🥳

Dylan

The next update is today and I’m at the edge of my seat 😭😭😭

Kat

IM ACTUALLY SO EXCITED

Zosh

*insert Rocky Horror Picture Show gif: "I see you shiver with antici-" 👀

Danii

Hallelujah

Dez

FINALLY SHE SLIPPED UP

Octavia Liotine

Ok. Ok. Ok. Nao, your line the next time you see him is: "So you know how you spend your whole life thinking one thing about yourself..."

Zay_zay09

Thank god this is finally getting revealed.

A. E.

Not the dream sequence got me cackling 😂😂😂

Tenga

They hit the pentagon

Eniola

First of all hallucinating banter is crazy 💀 second of all I just KNEW that was how it was gonna be revealed

Katie

THE BEANS. THEY'VE BEEN SPILLED. Girl, you had one job... but also thanks lol

AstridSkies

It’s so sad that Nao really isn’t happy being there with Arashi but still went😔 I know it wouldve been a waste of money but I really wished he would do what makes him happy💔✨

JH

Nao misses Souta, and he’s about to discover that Souta actually bought the tickets. Wonder whether he’ll just stay at the concert or leave to find Souta?

Aicha Camara

I just woke up and I was still super sleepy but this woke definitely woke me up (I hate school for making me wake up this early, especially when I was having such a good dream...)

c3c3

DUDE NO WAY

Moniko

I've been waiting for Nao to find out about the tickets! Can't wait until he puts it all together. But will this overshadow the realization he almost had?

Brick Brock

Kind of hope Nao scolds Souta for getting these tickets and giving them up like that and just staying silent while hurting himself for what he thought was better

AstridSkies

Love how Souta isn’t dressed up like them😭✨

Lammy

Ah snap she said it!

Shisui Pelón

Man I hate this comic 😭😭😭 I get desperate to know the rest all the time

chicknbaconranchmelt

God the way he was daydreaming about Souta being there and didn't even know Souta was the one who got the tickets I'm gonna freaking sob I love this comic so much

Astridou96

Finally !!!! He Will know !!!!

nico

The concept of Nao rejecting Souta and then PROJECTING HIM in a GIRL and then JOKE/FLIRT with her, is crazy
