This beginning of this doesn’t make a lot of sense or seem to fit well with the rest. First chapter Nishino seems really happy-go-lucky and seems to adore Maki, who is a more wooden character. Nishino even says something about u required love! Then the rest of it Nishino is a straight guy confused by his feeling for his secretly gay roommate, Maki. Maki is the one in unrequited love. Maybe this is a translation issue with the first chapter??? I don’t know
