Aikou’s friends should be something

I disagree. Not every male character needs to hook up with another guy in a yaoi manga. I loved how the mangaka portrayed the true bond of friendship between Hikaru and Ken, and one of the most awesome things about this manga was that a gay guy was supported by his straight male friends without judgement or prejudice. If they're gay/bi too, that becomes pretty meaningless.

Good point as well!! I do understand your point that not every character should be forced into conforming to a relationship like this. However, my statement is merely a superlative of what I would have preferred since it's kind of reflective to an event I experienced within my circle of friends wahaha! Also, since it doesn't have a sequel as far as I know, it's can be open to interpretations - to which for me is inclined to that. But thank you for great insights! ヾ(☆▽☆)
