This manga is not only funny and sweet, it is also full of character development that is coherent and satisfying. The problems they face aren't unrealistic, they truly reflect the inner turmoil you feel when you are seventeen and start to question your place in your friend group, how they view you and how you view yourself.
The self pity, the insecurity that comes not from what others think but from the strength in your resolve, the weight of expanding your world view and so much more!
I came looking for a fun read but I'm leaving with so much more than that.
I have a theory of why the bottom was dating anyone who would ask.
Now, this may be me scraping some sense after reading this for the fifth time but...
I think the first scene when they meet in high school was love at first sight for both of them. The bottom seems to know very well who the top was in HS and didn't want to say it when they met in uni, maybe out of embarrassment.
I think that the bottom created the opening for the top to confess by building this image of someone who dated anyone, in hope for the top to get interested in him. He really isn't eager in dating these other people, also he didn't do it out of desire bc he never slept with them.
The bottom seems to be very on guard at the beginning bc he knew that he created this image but immediately folds when he sees that the top is genuine, that's why when they tell him about the bet, he immediately thinks of the first time he saw (and fell for) him, like: Damm all this work and yearn for this, I won't let him go now. I'll pay the 100 bucks.
I think the point of the whole story is that they seem to be more aligned in their feelings that they think. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
