every time they called him "hetero" I had to mentally cross it out and substitute "CLOSETED BI GUY" in my head or else I wanted to punch through my computer screen....why do so many yaoi authors seem to forget that gay and straight are not the only two categories out there?
I always think about it... "Bi exist ya know?" But I think that maybe it's due to the lack of acceptance to anything but hetero. Like they already are quite reluctant to accept gay, if you add another one their heads might implode...
Isnt it possible Okada would only fel attraction to Sakaki? Maybe that is why the author kept calling him "hetero" rather than "bi", to emphasize Okada's feelings for Sakaki as being special, and exclusively for Sakaki.

Oh sorry, but I do understand what you are saying. Manga artists seem to have only "hetero" or "gay" in their stories. The other day I read one where the character said hr was "bi" and I was, in fact, surprised.
I think that's what Okada was saying about Sakaki drawing lines between things, and why earlier he was so frustrated with Miyama about the same thing. Okada never calls himself hetero really... I think he knows he's bi, but he's everyone keeps drawing lines between hetero and gay. Somehow I wonder if this author isn't a bit bi hehe
I agree with the comment above mine, the sequel is called double line bc Sakaki is the one drawing those lines. I myself hate when people draw that line, I'm more like Okada, and I don't particularly care. Well, at least I think that Okada is like that and that's why he pointed it out.

Dude, not just manga authors...
Trust me, I know...I'm bi myself, I see it every day. But this is a manga site so that's what I'm going to complain about here :P
