for a 2019 story, LGBTQ is a bit shaky that year. The story potrays such a harsh reality more towards the LGBTQ community.
A painful unrequited love are always tied to gay people, which Mio represent that harsh reality, by means he wanted to get rid of that feeling and be more of a true friend towards Shion, as you can see from no contacting for 3 years, would sleep with other people, and making Shion his "last option" shows how much he cares not to let their relationship break. When they lived together he didn't have much hope (based from their interactions), and by the time he found closure to leave his feelings behind, we got such a wonderful comeback from Shion.
I see comments getting mad at the Seme cuz of the "bathroom scene" which I'll get back later.
For me the potrayal of the Seme was actually unique. For starters, he was respectful to wait for the uke to explain himself, he wasn't nosy and just helped a "friend in need". He didn't jump Mio out of lust (can't deny jealousy tho) , even in a drunken state that's what he thought would show how much he's feelings are true towards Mio. Clearly, he was a good friend that I could definitely say, its also why he is so attractive.
Alright "Bathroom Scene", (opinion of a 2026 reader) Mio is not chained to anyone; he is a free man! His feelings do matter, whether unrequited or not, but we're only human; he too has desires of his own.In addition to that, blackmailing also took part of that relationship, so I wouldn't say Mio is accountable for his actions. The bathroom is so unhygienic, but why? Because he is a victim.Shion, on the other hand, even for me, is weird... but like he doesn't even want to entertain that thought because of how much he wanted to maintain his relationship with Mio.But then again, we're all human. He was not in his right mind afterwards that are shown how deeply he regretted it.
OVERALL! In the first place, Mio initially thought that him and Shion will never have that relationship. In which case Im glad everything worked out at the end. AND FUCK AOYAMA AS WELL
