Status Updates From A Sign of Affection, Vol. 7

i'm truly blown away after this last chapter. what a gorgeous couple they are, so sweet and understanding and evenly matched and generous and mature and honest. i love how we're seeing a new, more sensitive side of itsuomi in this moment too cause it just adds to the intimacy and puts us right in yuki's shoes. them both crying at the end is the icing on top of it all

good god just the creepiest advice ever mmhmmm okay
i'm hoping that oushi goes against them and actually agrees to have dinner with itsuomi and yuki sometime soon. there's gotta be SOME part of him that recognizes that itsuomi isn't actually a bad guy who's trying to rub his relationship in oushi's face. he wants to UNDERSTAND him. i genuinely want the best for oushi and i think it's the only way forward for him

okay. i have lots of faith that this will be dealt with BUT i wish yuki had been a bit more clear about WHY oushi's behavior needs to change. she knows for sure now that he has a crush on her, and i like that she said she has a boyfriend, but we saw that she was UNCOMFORTABLE by his proximity, and i feel like it was important to tell oushi that part of it too. set a very clear boundary so this can truly end

mitoki you're really cute and i might be blinded a bit by pretty privilege but the whole snow white/prince charming thing is NOT the serve you think it is!!!!! but somehow i am invested and curious to see where this goes, maybe bc i feel SO confident and secure in the itsuomi and yuki endgame that all the oushi stuff feels pretty harmless and like it'll build to a good friendship by the end

genuinely about to cry at how sweet this shit is!!!!
from what he's alluded to, it seems like yuki really opened up itsuomi's world and brought him out of a rut, and clearly, itsuomi is opening up yuki's world too. and THIS is another big difference between oushi and itsuomi. oushi liked that sign language was between just the 2 of them, while itsuomi uses it here as a bridge so yuki can talk with others too

suu morishita is a master of the female gaze in manga WOW. the intimacy in that moment was breathtaking, the composition was so delicate and tasteful but also just the right amount of sensual. and i LOVE how yuki doesn't feel any shame for her desires!!!!!!! it feels like the bare fucking minimum but it seems to be a trend in shojo for the girl to be so blushy and shameful and i HATE IT. yuki is blushy but she WANTS

MOVE IN TOGETHER? my brother in christ haven’t you two been going out for like a month? 😭 i’m so here for it though omg

Nan mais Itsuomi l’homme parfait ✨
