muse ✨'s manga / #communication issues(3)

Aizawa has loved Tsuji since they were in school. Tsuji, who is dependent on Aizawa, is uncertain about his feelings until he fears Aizawa might reconcile with an ex-girlfriend, so they begin dating. A few months later, as things are turning into real love for Tsuji, Aizawa breaks off their relationship without explanation and moves, leaving Tsuji heartbroken. But for the first time in his life, Tsuji isn't willing to let someone go. I was frustrated by the breakup, because communication would have cleared up the issue. You don't just leave someone. But Aizawa never believed that Tsuji loved him until that point, so I believe he thought only his heart was truly on the line, and that he was doing Tsuji a favor by making a clean break. I love how much Tsuji grows across these stories. This author is wonderful about continuity.

AW! This is really sweet. The art does have some wacky proportions, but the kid is precious and these two like each other.

Several stories about couples with serious communication issues. I was a little relieved when I finished the last chapter. After a while...guys, just talk with each other. Seriously. Especially the first couple. Three years in, the kid's trying to kiss you at every point, and you think he will be turned off by the fact that you're a guy? He?? KNOWS???
