Status Updates From A Sign of Affection, Vol. 8

OH MY GOD YUKI SPOKE????????? AHHHHHHH I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT THAT WAS POTENTIALLY SOMETHING WE WERE BUILDING TOWARDS
i doubt it'll be a regular thing but ouch what a gorgeous sequence to show just how deeply yuki loves itsuomi, especially right after we heard itsuomi talking so sweetly about her to her father. THEYRE SO IN LOVE!! they push each other to be better, braver people!!!!!!

HEY NO FAIR WE BETTER ALSO GET TO HEAR THE STORY OF THE TATTOO CAUSE IVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT IT SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING
if we don't flash back to this moment later, i'm sure we'll hear it when he eventually tells yuki, which i would honestly prefer so. i'm trusting the process

okay i was a little turned off by this at first but now i'm just charmed as always by itsuomi and his confidence. i feel like this is really highlighting how different he is from other japanese people because of his upbringing in germany and constant traveling. his willingness to be open and casual with strangers without being outright rude is a tough balance to strike but somehow he manages it with his earnestness

now what the FUCK is this
i know itsuomi's hot but i didn't have him flirting with yuki's dad and getting in a sauna with him on my bingo card for this volume

THE SNOW AROUND THEM AS YUKI IS THINKING ABOUT HOW THIS IS THE CLOSEST THEY'VE EVER BEEN ARE YOU KIDDING ME????????? THEY'RE IN THE SAME WORLD, THEY'RE TOGETHER AND THEY UNDERSTAND!!!! and then yuki pinching itsuomi's cheek to ask for a kiss???????? is that the first time she's done it to him?????? i'm kicking my damn feet once again

YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO ME. THE MAIN CHARACTER DYED HIS HAIR!!!

Black hair suits himmmm.Starting to finally enjoy the emma/shin plot

¡Por dios! Quiero un Itsuomi en la vida real...
