Please be honest with ur answer. Let us say Taiche is your boyfriend in really life how w...

I will give it an amout of time ..
if it wont work still
I might wanna break up too

There's no way I'd exhaust myself waiting for someone like Taichi to get a clue. That's not dense, he just doesn't get it. His feelings aren't on the same level of Kouhei's and that's why he can't notice he's hurting him or relate/understand him. I don't see why the other should have to wait and suffer.
Taichi isn't making any efforts and in real life, there would be no guarantee his feelings would ever change to grow deeper. He's more interested in his new job than his relationship, so just let him be and have his experiences in life. He's just not ready to date.

I agree with you. Taichi really starts to piss me off a little. He has to refmect about what he feels toward Kouhei. I'm sure he loves Kouhei but he's too shy too naive too afraid. Like other people say this manga become too shoujo-ish and that piss me off too !

Then there'd be two Taichi's in a relationship (inexperienced, nervous, shy) oh god lmao, but I'd at least try to open up and if it doesn't feel like a relationship and I constantly get rejected bye bye ~

I would do something that seems like a foreign concept in manga world .... "TALK and COMMUNICATE" omg do they even know what this is ?
Taichi can be quite honest and most of all isn't a mean person at all so I think it could have good results.
A relationship needs two people to make it work, if I see that things don't go the way I want it to be I'll talk it out, let them know how I feel and what's wrong, people aren't psychic, words need to be used. I'm sure he would apologize and work on it now he KNOWS.

If after a while he still neglects me then I'll think about breaking up but knowing Taichi it wouldn't get to this.

Honestly I find it sad how many people don't see that s ex isn't easy for everyone. Some people have to take their time or are nervous. Societal standards like this disgust me.

Taichi is very slow, it has to be direct, I think it is missing communication between this couple, if it did not solve I break up, because this guy is already in the process of solving this and he seems always avoiding, letting fear dominate him, poor of Kouei.

hey ho, it's not about the sex. More like, Taichi talked like he was ready for it and got surprised at a kiss with tongue. And I was surprised they didn't sleep in the same bed. Like forget sex, their level of intimacy as a couple is weird. They didn't see each other in so long yet Taichi said the phone call didn't had bad timing like? No, this isn't about Taichi obviously not being ready for sex. That's okay. It's just overall like any form of intimacy seems to surprise him, like it's coming out of nowhere for him when he's supposed to be dating Kouhei. Like???

Um, not talking and communicating is realism. ESPECIALLY with young kids. Like these two are, mmkay? I am sick and tired of people talking as if communication is oh so normal in the real world. It's not. Divorce happens in the real world. DEAL with it. Compatible people don't break up for a reason, and usually the PRIMARY reason has nothing to do with communication. The primary reason is that they feel they CAN talk with each other when they're READY and not feel as if they're being shoehorned into it because of one's idealistic reiMAGinings of what real life is, when they aren't. INcompatible people on the other hand tend to ruin relationships by forcing someone to do something even when they're not ready. Communication is NO different. KT.

Seriously? I see the total opposite. Very weird. HMMMMM.... Everyone's blaming Taichi for something that all the people around him are ARBITRARILY placing on his shoulders. He gets people haranguing him all the time about how he doesn't understand Kouhei when he's the one that apparently understands him the best, like the last part of the manga showed...? Or did no one else read that part? And there have been MANY other parts where everybody's opinions of Kouhei were proven to be wrong while Taichi's was proven right. REALLY weird that no one else sees that. And he STILL tries to adapt to what everyone else is thinking and STILL people are always looking for MORE from him while not appreciating him for it? It's gotta be pretty exhausting. And it's really sad that there are people like Taichi in real life that get this kind of treatment all the time. SAD. Kouhei on the other hand never really intervenes when people say stuff to Taichi, yet you think Kouhei seems to be the one more in love? Really weird, indeed....

I've seen it become better BECAUSE it's more shoujo-ish. It's less cliched as a result, where Taichi is no longer expected to try harder than everyone else and not being praised one iota while others are expected to do very little and praised all the time. Ktbn.

And... you proved their point. Not everybody who is dating jumps into sex right off the bat or even months down the road. That was the point the other poster was making and you just argued that it was wrong by agreeing with it...?

Besides, many a person has thought they're ready for sex and then reacted like a virgin... in real life, too. It's normal. What IS people's objection to realism, by the way...?

And what I said about sex ALSO applies to intimacy. Thanks.
