a wandering mind prevents kaien from being able to move forward :-( part of two worlds, yet belonging to none.

kaien... ure just like me fr :') i've dealt with the same stuff when i moved from my home country to america for the first time and sometimes it still doesn't get easier but as the days pass, it eventually will be :]

This boy needs a hug 🫂. Moving around as a kid at an age where there are established friend groups or different social norms is so difficult. That need to fit it really makes it hard to believe you can be excepted as yourself.

NAOS ACCENT COMING THROUGH WHEN HE'S UPSEET I REMEMBER

aww this resonated with me sm as an asian immigrant child :'))) i love kaien smmmm i can't describe how happy i am that we're finally getting more of him, nao and the other babies 😭💞💞

To find out who you are if you're living in two different worlds, is exhausting. I struggled my whole life and U might have found an answer but not everyone is happy about it. And now I am fighting the ones who aren't able to accept or understand my decision. Kaien, feel hugged! You are not alone. ♡

I can't even imagine how hard that must be for anyone, to grow up in two very different countries with tons of different social norms. Not to mention his ADHD must make it even more difficult, I sympathize with Kaien so much

ariel

kaien your clashing culture dilemma is so real i see feel and empathize fully

Nikki Huh

Oooo! This hits home. I love where this is going. It's so true that there are people struggling with this, and it's not that easy to fix as people would think. Especially when you're still so young.

"Who do you want me to be so that I won’t be intruding too much into your lives?" Oh my god this update… THE FEELS 😭 This part definitely hit too close to home but I really like the way you portrayed Kaien’s insecurities, I don’t exactly know how to explain it clearly but it doesn’t feel rushed or out of place it’s like, exactly how it should be I think I can say it like that? Thank you for this update 🫶

Mel

Oh honey :(

kerol

nooooo, no kaien suffer ☝🏻😭 the parallels you've made are so valid it hurts

Angel

I love the comparison between Brazil and Japan. So good

Chibi

This hit me hard. 😭😭 My mom has talked about how she’s an outsider both in the US where we live and her home country. That it’s odd to have lived in both places for 30 years and to somehow not truly belong to either? I gotta go give her a hug lol… but anyways… I love this story arc!! 🥹💕

Yura

Kaien my baby 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Haley Bunny

god, kaien asking what person the others want him to be hurts my heart 😭 i've been in that same anxious and uncertain mindset feeling like an outsider even to some of my closest friends and it's incredibly painful 🥺😭 poor boy has also had such a long day going through a LOT of emotions going through all his keepsakes with nao. THAT SHIT'S NOT EASY!!! poor boy needs a breather and a hug 🥺

Nicole

The ache my heart feels for poor sweet baby Kaien…ouch🥺😞 well done Ally hitting all the feels! Love this story so much as always

Sleepless

Awww Kaien ❤️❤️❤️ that’s sooo rough 😭 it’s so much harder when you don’t have a solid cultural identity yet since your still a child growing up and have lived in two very different cultures. I hope Nao can help him 💓💓💓 HELP YOUR CRUSH BABE!!!

Annachi

I need more Naos accent!!! I love it coming through when he’s ticked off 🤭

LJ

Kaien!!! 😭😭😭 He looks so much like Sho in the bottom panel of the 2nd page. Like whoa

midori

AWWW I ACC UNDERSTAND HIM SO MUCH! i was born in england but raised and lived my whole childhood in brazil. when i moved back to england again everything was so weird and different because people here are too cold and way more introverted, so it was hard to fit myself in. i definetly understand him feeling like an “imposter” 🙂‍↕️ it is not easy to adapt in two countries

Leia

“Who do you want me to be?!” YOU, YOU SWEET CHILD 😭😭😭😭😭

Trixie Moon

KAIEN 😭😭😭 no bb, you need to be you 😭😭😭 I’m sorry you were left out

Chanel Gravier

🥺🥺 Bby kaien is okay 🥺🥺 cuddlessss ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🏼🫶🏼🥰🥰🥰

Inna

Nooo Kaien baby 😭🫶🏼💕 He’s probably feeling so left out now with Nao and Isao still being close ☹️ All the hugs for my dearest child!🥺 I hope he finds his place with them (and most importantly Nao) soon

Laney

😭😭😭 Poor Kaien. That's completely understandable. When you've been somewhere else where the culture is the opposite, of course it's going to be hard to adjust back to things you only remember as a kid. I just wanna give him the hugest hug ever. 🥺🥺🥺

Punchi

the cultural shock is crazy!!! as a latino i dont even want to imagine how rude I would probs be considered in Japanese culture by complete accident. i remember moving to the US and going to greet someone by kissing them on the cheek and they freaked out on me, in Asia i think it would be 100000 times worse.

Isao’s expression is such a great mirror of irritated Oikawa and Hajime. I’m living for him being the Oikawa he is and immediately taking charge of their little volleyball scrimmage in the backyard. I feel for Nao and his struggle with the different social norms within each respective culture. That’s difficult for anyone, but with the social struggles he deals with on his own, it’s a nightmare. And the fact that it’s impacting his play is just heartbreaking because of how volleyball is usually an outlet

Titania

He’s feeling that imposter syndrome real bad
