i agreeeee! esp the emphasis on naguru being born to meet towa (or kids in general?) it kinda feels like this vol. focused more on naguru’s trait of taking care of others (the kids from his hometown, his bike gang, then eventually towa). if there really is a second volume i’d love for it to focus on naguru and hirao’s relationship, since they still have a lot to talk abt imo (the result of the fight was still largely unresolved, despite naguru saying he lost bc that was primarily bc of towa anyways)
but either way i think this volume’s focus on the family aspect was fitting and obv still very good.
totally agree, hopefully the author makes the 2nd volume, a little more focused on their relationship
if this gets like a second volume or smth (not sure if completed) i hope the author will delve into naguru and heropi's relationship more because i feel as though they didn't really established what they are to each other but more like what they are to towa (which is their dads) ion know i lowkey just didn't get the vibe that naguru really liked heropi deeply as it seems... It felt as though naguru accepted heropi because of towa (it felt as if he just wanted smth to tie him down and prolly move on from that gang lifestyle and what better way than to have to care for a child and start a family)... nonetheless this is still a cute story
