I agree wiht you. Like it rubbed me the wrong way he kept sleeping with her. Also, she was older so it was kind of weird for me.
At that point, the fl shouldve ended up with someone else.
I don't know man, I feel like he should have ended up with the black-haired girl if it was going to be this way. Also, constantly sleeping with a particular individual means some feelings between you may blossom, even if it's "for support". Physical intimacy and emotional intimacy are usually closely linked for a reason. What if he goes into a spot where he's insecure again, even if he dates or marries her - will he do the same thing to cope with his feelings again? And if he doesn't - well, where will he fall back if he feels that way again? Another woman? The black haired girl? Finally, and I don't think it's completely impossible - what if he impregnated her? "Goodbye my first love"?
I've seen a lot of stories wherein the main character or their love interest sleeps with others in order to hide their feelings/in order to forget their feelings etc., but the thin line for me here is whether or not it goes beyond physical intimacy, I guess. Once that's crossed, it feels like there are feelings waiting to bloom or wither. It feels like, even if no feelings bloom, a seed was planted.
It's hard to get rid of. He likes the girl, sure, but the other lady will always be special to him as well.
Is it insecurity? Probably. I feel like even when the curtain closes, unless that seed is disposed of, it may just be waiting to bloom. I guess I just feel like I can't trust it. Maybe I don't understand him. Maybe I don't understand the main point.
But, well, this is of course just my opinion. The artstyle is pretty and the eyes and faces are cute. I think I'll use ch. 22 as referrence for drawing, but no more.
