Is it just me or did Kashima deliberately give up on Toono? Kashima tucks Tono’s hair behind his ear and then pulls his hand back and that same hand becomes the focus of a panel, almost as if to show that he’s pulling away. And in the last image of the two of them together, Kashima has his fist clenched, as if he’s closed himself off, while Tono’s hand is open.

But Kashima also has this surprised/hopeful/maybe even happy look when Tono directly asks him why he never tells him anything, so I don’t think the problem is his feelings, it’s that he doesn’t want to show them anymore. I get the feeling Kashima is really good at shutting himself off. Maybe it’s not that he doesn’t know how Tono feels, but rather that he does know. He never even asks why Tono kissed him (and he knows Tono isn’t the kind of person who would do something like that spontaneously), and he doesn’t follow him when he runs away, which makes me think those are deliberate choices. I’m not even sure it’s really just because Yacchan likes Tono. Maybe Kashima is afraid of true intimacy and of actually getting what he wants.

This boy is so frustrating, though. First he confesses, chases after him, etc., and then when he actually has a chance to have him, he pulls away. I wonder what happened in the classroom. Maybe when Tono said in the early chapters that Kashima and Yacchan were similar, it was because they both hid their real personalities. Yacchan’s genuinely trying now, and even though Tono doesn’t reciprocate, he isn’t being pushed away either. Is it possible they could actually get together? I still think Kashima is endgame, but maybe we’ll get a little Yagutoono first (?)

Anyway, Tono is going to have to chase after Kashima, who will probably push him away pretty harshly at some point because he just can’t let anyone into his world. Eventually they’ll talk it all out and it’ll be beautiful, but before we get there, I feel like we’re in for a lot of suffering.

    True but you gotta remember this is a BL. Everytime a main couple starts becoming Canon there's always some kind of conflict or problem before getting to that point. Sensei doing exactly that.

    Also. You gotta remember in chapter 33.kashima was completely fine until Toono was freaking out during the whole ordeal not knowing what to do with his feelings.he is falling in love with Kashima but he doesn't seem to be aware of it. Also Kashima did indeed ask what's wrong with Toono before he got embraced and ran away in chapter 33. So it not Kashima that having problems. Toono is having trouble confronting Kashima about his own feeling. He didn't confront Kashima in this chapter to explain what he said about the kiss. Just the fight.

    You're right, but I wanted to see Kashima and Tono already being a couple and doing cute stuff together, and instead I'm here suffering It's really not a problem though. It just means Tanaka is really good at being a mangaka.

    Yeah, Kashima actually does ask him what's wrong. Hopefully this isn't one of those situations where they spend a long time going around in circles because of misunderstandings. Tono had already started reflecting on his feelings but Yacchan's confession interrupted it, at least for now. Kashima is probably going to see them holding hands or doing something intimate and misunderstand things even more. The road won't be an easy for those two
