AfteThe first installment I was leery or reading e sequel but I'm glad I did. This continuation of the story is so much better because I get to see how Chihiro feels and thinks. Although the pushy nature of the first story did continue. I found myself thinking why can't everyone just leave Chihiro alone. Maybe he was gay to begin with so he didn't just give in to Keigo but come on let the guy come out on his own terms.
In the prequel Keigo basically force him into a relationship before he was ready in my opinion which is why he is so conflicted in this story. Chihiro rushed ahead but he seems to be adjusting and he is the one wanting to get all lovey dovey and getting jealous.
Another thing that I absolutely hated was that model Okezawa. He is openly gay which is fine but he also knows how hard it can be to be gay especially he by young and in school so the pressure he was putting on Chihiro was just wrong. He knew from the moment he saw Chihiro and Keigo that they were a couple and he feed on Chihiro's desire not to be outted to try and step in between them. He is just an ass and I hope he never finds anyone.
Okezawa is a grown man who knows what it is like to be gay because I'm sure growing up he was confused and tried to hide who he was but he uses Chihiro's inexperience to try and get what he wants.
Keigo also pissed me off because in the prequel he was relentless in his pursuit of Chihiro but in this he kinda of left him to fend for himself. Chihiro flat out told him he didn't like Okezawa and he constantly avoided him but that didn't seem to alert Keigo to that fact. Keigo seemed to brush it off, continue to hang out with Okezawa, never told him to stop asking to date him or tell him that he had someone until the very end. This Keigo doesn't seem like the Keigo of the first story.
