Oh please! Please reveal your feelings sooner than later so you can be rejected (in the nicest way possible). I can't stand her because she's causing so much angst in bright Souta!! Please! Just rip the bandaid and get it over with lol

The way Nao described getting swept up into a relationship before has me wondering if he'd accept her confession or not. He doesn't speak up much, but maybe if his feelings are enough toward Souta (who totally told him he's into girls, specifically one that's present)?

I just wanna say I feel this girl gets too much hate, she's a teenage girl, teenagers just want to be liked and loved, she wants that with Noa. I know she seems a bit forceful but I think she just struggles with social awareness. Although she's been rather social with Noa, maybe she struggles with other people, or maybe she's overly social and that causes issues with social awareness etc
Mikey
2024-12-27 00:08:32 +0000 UTC
Good answer, Souta! Don’t give any help to the “enemy”. Of course, none of this would be happening if Nao would just figure out his feelings for Souta!

Iona
2024-12-09 23:43:58 +0000 UTC
Yeah, I actually lean towards thinking Nao has matured and is more likely to reject her (if it gets as far as her confession). But I have this parallel fear of him "going with the flow" due to everything Norman points out, and because from Souta's perspective that's the most likely scenario right now. Well, a few of the songs on the official playlist, as well as Nao's official playlist, indicate that he will only ever love Souta and other relationships aren't really an option (yes, I take my analysis seriously). So I wish I could completely turn off the worst case scenarios in my head
Norin
2024-12-09 19:01:45 +0000 UTC
And it's because Nao talks about Souta all the time, right? While he doesn't talk about Arashi to Souta. Take a hint soon 👀 (both Souta and Arashi)

Thank you!!! You’ve put into words how I feel. I don’t hate her cause she’s an immature teenage girl with a crush, I hate her for how manipulative and pushy she’s been from the get go.
Rachel Winters
2024-12-08 04:05:29 +0000 UTC
I just don’t like how manipulative she is. I hate people like that. Honestly hoping she confesses soon, like at the amusement park so Nao can reject her asap.

I wish!
Rachel Winters
2024-12-08 03:58:45 +0000 UTC
I honestly wish she’d just confess already instead playing all these selfish games, then Nao can reject her and she can finally piss off.
Rachel Winters
2024-12-08 03:58:07 +0000 UTC
ALSO I was thinking. It probably won’t go this way but what if she confesses to Nao, and he tells her he’s flattered but he likes Souta and her and him become besties and try to hook up Souta and Nao
RAD
2024-12-08 01:11:57 +0000 UTC
Exactly!!
I’m soooo scared he’s gonna go with it just because it’s just simple.
But I tell myself, at this point he seems not very happy with Arashi’s tantrums. Like he’s like "ig I’ll go with you", not happy to hang out with her. So I hope he still rejects her.
I assume he’s gay but idk if he really is. Like, maybe he’s bi, we still don’t know. We only know he loves Souta cause dude that’s obvious. But not enough to keep me at ease.
I’m also afraid he’ll just say no thanks and she’ll try to force it or ask why and he’ll be kinda obliged to say he has someone he likes or that he’s gay if she really insists.
Iona
2024-12-07 16:08:14 +0000 UTC
Aina did say there's a half confession for our boys coming up iirc, which is why I believe so many are sure he'll reject her. Plus I'm not getting the vibe Nao's interested in a romantic relationship with her. That with the growth he has had to go through in somewhat recent times leads me to believe he has matured a bit and will be able to be clear if he's not interested - I'm sorta expecting her to be let down gently.

RAD
2024-12-07 06:23:35 +0000 UTC
This is my worst fear for them, that he'll not reject her. I'm afraid of what it would do for Souta's and Nao's relationship - it's not like a crush or deeper feelings can withstand anything. And I fear it would ruin the magic of the story for me (yes, things like that happen in real life all the time, but also people falling out of love, being disappointed, getting over someone)
Norin
2024-12-06 20:32:22 +0000 UTC
Well... I don't know why everybody seems so sure that Nao will reject her, when she confesses. When he first had something going on with a girl, he just went along with it and the last time he rejected a girl, he was in a really bad mental state.
He probably likes Souta, but he has no clue, that Souta likes him back. He just overheard, that Souta went on a "date" with the girl Souta told him, he wants to kiss. And we have no information whether or not Nao has accepted his sexuality, whatever it will be. He would not be the first non-straight teenage boy getting into a relationship with a girl to suppress his affection for the same sex.

Yea like it seems she does want to be close to Souta and feels like as her confidante in this situation they are in on it together but she totally missed Soutas sadness but of course she thinks Souta supports her after he gave her the tickets.

Please have pity on this poor boy and go find some other nice looking guy who actually is straight and would tolerate your constant manipulation and forcing.

Also I see that some people think that Nao is going to reject Arashi the same way he did Inoue (which was really harsh) but the only reason why Nao lashed out at Inoue was because he was going through a lot of things and Inoue had confessed at a really bad time. I think that when Arashi confesses to Nao, he’s going to let her down gently and maybe/hopefully that he likes someone else. (Aka Souta)

The amount of times I have to remind myself that she hasn't really fone anything wrong. Like, she just acting like a girl who likes a boy. She doesn't deserve hate. But yet, I hate her all the same. And I know it's not her fault. But I need her gone and out the way. Which really is a testament to how good Aina is writing her.

this kinda makes me like arashi more! she didn’t ask him to be her wing man, she didn’t say anything weird at all really. she’s just a girl with a crush. overall she was really respectful with this and didn’t push souta much. she obviously wouldn’t guess that souta likes nao. her and nao have so much in common, if i was in her shoes id probably feel a lil crush too?? it’s just so normal. i feel bad for souta all the same, but it’s really not arashis fault for being a teen girl with a crush lmao

I’ve seen folks say Nao doesn’t seem to see things or catch hints but I think Arahsi is just the same. Yes I understand she has a crush, but someone just told her he doesn’t mention her (or that that’s not even a topic they discuss), that alone should be a bit of a hint/sign
Hector G.
2024-12-06 00:42:48 +0000 UTC
“I’ll find out how he feels soon enough” hmm 🤔 please don’t try and use the tickets as your own idea and create a moment only to potentially have things not go your way. If there’s a rejection involved I hope she doesn’t pop off on Nao. Signs are there that he is not interested in you.
Hector G.
2024-12-06 00:40:37 +0000 UTC
THEORY!!!: ok so I think the “half confession” spoiler we got is going to happen this chapter, but I don’t think it will be between Souta and Nao. I could see it going two ways either A Arashi will try to confess and Nao will cut her off and explain he doesn’t like her OR she will try to confess and Souta will over hear, the reason it’s a half confession would be because Souta probably would run away not wanting to over hear or over step. I think the second option could lead into the panel we got a spoiler for last year, the one where Souta and Nao are holding hands, I haven’t looked at the panel in a while but if I remember correctly they are wearing something similar to what they are wearing in this chapter.
This is just a theory I wanted to share to see others opinions and ideas!!
Keep up the amazing work Aina ❤️❤️

The silver lining is that Souta now knows for sure what the situation is and what Arashi really wants. He should also realize that indeed, Nao has not mentioned her or anyone else for that matter. I'm still high key hoping for a side character to come and show him how precious he is so that Nao can finally have a reaction... 😬

I honestly saw this coming. Doesn't help that Souta gave her the tickets so she can present it as a date as well
