In almost all male-based love triangles (not just yaoi triangles) the kind male backs away while saying, "I loved you, because you loved so and so." But you know it was just an excuse, so that the mc could be happy. Whenever those characters show up, I would pray that they would find someone else.
I liked Masahito better. Soji felt too much like an unfulfilled whim, and he was indeed cowardly: Masahito waited 10 years because he wanted Kasahara to have a chance at being happy with Soji, but Soji didn't say anything because he was running away. But honestly, while I wanted Masahito to end w Kasahara bc I think he was the best for him, I also don't think Kasahara is the best for Masahito. Masahito deserved his own happy ending w someone else. Soji x Kasahara was just disappointing.
