I don't know... I have contradicting feelings about this manga. The ending was cute and lovely but I felt like the characters could't really rich until the end. I mean, his friend who apparently never noticed the ML's distress and his sick relationship with women. I wondered what kind of family he had to be like this... Then the FL who misunderstood him completely even if she saw all his tears at the beginning. She never asked why and he never told her his horrible experiences (so horrible that he was sick just thinking about them!). I hope they'll talk about it in the future but this'll remain at our imagination...
Sp for all these reasons I really appreciated especially the chapters at the beginning but then I'd wanted more introspection. In any case thank you very much for the translation!

That little epilogue made me feel SOOOOO nostalgic for Kyoto. Does everyone go the same route? I'm glad they finally came to a mutual understanding! I hope Sara can help heal him from his past traumas.

I feel conflicted about this. I understand there are people who can “move on” from their trauma without having to discuss it.
But I felt here since there was a lot of misunderstandings about our ML then the author should have had him at least discuss it a bit. His past is devestating and I felt like he was someone that needed to share it. Even just. A bit. I mean that panel where he cried after the fl assumed he was okay with all the attention he gets made me so sad. I just wanted to jump in and give him a hug.
And also his relationship with his senpai? I don’t think he ever loved her and I felt like we never got a clear answer about that. It’s not the most important thing in this story but eh just something that kinda bothered me. Overall it’s a good story and I would def rec to this anyone.

after rereading this again the ending is really bittersweet like other comments say. I guess it's realistic in a depressing way, because the reality is therapy isn't normalized and sexual assault, especially where the victims are men, is. Japan is even worse with regards to both of those.. Sekine needed therapy before even thinking to start a relationship. But how many of us actually get therapy? How many have the courage, or the financial or geographical means? Sigh..
