They are my Roman empire because the slow burn is BURNING y'all! I love them so much and how emotionally mature Hirano and Kagi-kun are with each new chapter. (≧∀≦)
That's a great point and appreciate you pointing out that Hirano presents as ace! I agree that HtK does not follow the trajectory of a standard romance which makes any progress between them feel so precious and special ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I'm on the edge of my seat to see how Hirano continues to explore his feelings for Kagi and the extent to which they may/may not have physical intimacy







I'm just going to pretend that the AU Off the Record is literally off the record because wth was that?! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ I actually thought this ending was now the main story and I am so glad it wasn't however I do appreciate that the author-nim showed us how a bittersweet ending would have played out. 1000/10 masterpiece in my book, it made me feel an array of emotions.
