I was expecting this volume to address more of Yutaka's strained relationship with his family, but I suppose it's more realistic that it didn't. In real life, people don't always get the warm and fuzzy reunions and apologies and discoveries that their families really do love them. Sometimes, like in Yutaka's case, they...just don't.
He did open his brother's letter eventually. And it essentially contained nothing. It was bland, devoid of any personal touches or an indication that his brother thought of him as family at all. Which Yutaka had kind of expected and would have ordinarily never touched because what would be the point of confirming how his brother actually felt about him.
He doesn't tell Minoru about it for a while, either, because there's not much to report. But he brings it up when Minoru starts feeling insecure about their relationship - whether he's Yutaka's first choice, or just the guy who got there first.
After all, Minoru was the one to confess, and it initially startled Yutaka, and maybe he just started dating him because he's so nice that he went along with it, and now he obviously cares about Minoru but if Yutaka's college friend Kanzaki had asked him out years ago they might be dating now instead...
Minoru's anxieties come really close to ruining the special birthday trip Yutaka had put so much effort into surprising him with, but they talk it out, as they needed to. Yutaka gets irritated at first - they've been dating for a year and he's not a pushover, why would Minoru even question his feelings like that - but calms down enough to explain what it is that he loves about Minoru and why he has no intention of choosing anyone else.
In essence, the two of them just need each other in very specific and very fulfilling ways. Yutaka never would've opened his brother's letter without Minoru's steady support and love. And because he has Minoru, the letter didn't hurt him that much once he did read it.
The Uedas are his family now too, and he doesn't have any plans to let them go.
In turn, Minoru loves (and needs) Yutaka's calm openness to and acceptance of everything. He's just not bothered by the things a lot of people would be - he takes big reveals in stride and embraces people the way they are. He never tries to hide Minoru or their relationship, and believes in him just as he is, and supports whatever growth and career he wants to pursue.
Tane also continues to be an important part of their family, with the two of them having serious conversations about when and how to move in together, when Minoru's little brother still relies on him an awful lot. I was a bit disappointed that they seem to be walking back on their plans - starting with split time seemed reasonable - but since Minoru's new job is taking him away for the spring, that's a pretty good test to see how Tane does without him for longer stretches. Maybe by the time he gets back, he and Yutaka will feel confident about starting off on their own.
There's no indication whether this story is ongoing, but it could definitely continue for quite a while. There aren't big dramatic issues to iron out, but it's not that kind of story - just a portrayal of a different sort of family structure and all the complications that go into that.

A nice simple story about two people who love each other and are trying their best in life. Its heartwarming to watch the two navigate normal life happenings while making sure to put each other first.
