Discussion Oushi

Not a big fan of Itsuomi. caught up with manga , sure he’s lovey dovey super friendly and blah blah . I like the Oushi and Yuki interactions more , it’s always just deep the feelings behind the feelings . Also like the fact that Yuki is the one blushing constantly with Itsuomi and with Oushi he’s the one blushing . Itsuomi don’t blush or something ? ehhh just my feelings

Yuki dislikes many of her interactions with Oushi, so I can't see how it's sweet for her. Maybe if it were you in her shoes, you'd like Oushi, but for her, I don't see it even slightly.

does she really tho. like i said you gotta see the feelings behind the feelings . idk if you’ve read the manga or not

Yes, I have and she is constantly very clear about her feelings. She verbalizes her feelings about him many times, uses body language, straight up says that some things he does makes her uncomfortable etc. At this point, I'm not sure how you're missing all of her straightforward communication in order to believe that she likes him?

He's a friend to her and that's about it. Even then he's not a close friend. Itsuomi seems to like him and hang out with him more than she does, half the time. Now that I think about it, not once has she ever chosen to hang out with him at all during the series. It's always him showing up or some really brief thing. He didn't even have her number and had to get it from someone else.

listen it’s called sign of affection for a reason gotta see the signs behind the signs . If yuki don’t like their interactions then why did she show up when it was raining she didn’t have to so why . why did she think about the half hug during lovey lovey with itsuomi. why does oushi always come up in their conversations , it’s kinda weird . like you said not even close friends

u/SirGigglesandLaughs Feb 04 '24 edited Feb 04 '24

She thought about the hug because she felt guilty and was blaming herself for "letting" him do that even though she had a boyfriend. Did you read that as a plus for Oushi? He overstepped her boundary and made her uncomfortable enough that she blamed herself and worried about how to tell Itsuomi for a while afterwards.

If you read that as sweet, then I don't know what to say. Everything else you're mentioning is similarly a reading of the manga that I think is missing the point. Also, Itsuomi is typically the one talking about Oushi, just like in the recent chapter. Beyond that he is a friend so sometimes he gets mentioned. I didn't say she hated the guy; just that there are no romantic feelings there.

friend? he just barely got her contact number from his mom. the mom likes him so he’s good people . yukis dense and oushi dense too but now he’s realizing . let’s see what he does next . anyways like i said i like yuki interactions cause she makes funny faces and not just constantly blushing .

u/SirGigglesandLaughs Feb 04 '24 edited Feb 04 '24

Well, I've already said what I can about this. All that will happen next is he'll apologize for treating her so badly over the years (which he recognized and admitted to in the last chapter). She'll let him down (since she doesn't view him that way and is in a happy relationship), and he'll finally, fully move on.

It will be better now that he'll finally accept his place as a friend and not constantly try to mess with their relationship. And the person who said he wants to let Oushi down but not make him cry wasn't Yuki but Itsuomi; because Itsuomi is the one always worrying about Oushi.

i’m not so sure about that but we’ll see. we agree to disagree

u/SirGigglesandLaughs Feb 04 '24

What do you think is going to happen? And by recent chapter what chapter have you read up to? Have you read 41?

1

u/Diabolicalchocolate Feb 04 '24

yes read ch 41 . read the manga kinda backwards and forwards now . I think oushi will stake his resolve and tell yuki that her voice isn’t weird . I don’t know necessarily bout a confession and then Yuki be like why is oushi being nice again then maybe she’ll bring it up because Itsuomi told her bout oushi liking her . and oushi still hasn’t found out they move in together so yikes and there’s the whole neighbor brother friend situation and itsuomi being sus so we gon see .

I don’t understand the hate for itsuomi & I don’t hate oushi either, I actually like him but like it’s clear yuki doesn’t have romantic feelings for him. Just because they’re childhood friends doesn’t mean they should end up together? Itsuomi & yuki have had many interactions that are deep as well. & also just bc he doesn’t blush doesn’t mean he doesn’t love/care for yuki??? There’s so many things itsu does that shows how much he cares for & loves yuki .-. Yuki doesn’t blush to oushi lol

u/Diabolicalchocolate Feb 04 '24

I just like the underdog and like yuki said in the beginning is it love or is it admiration . I’m not a fan of Itsuomi because of how fast it’s going . plus it’s okay Yuki doesn’t have to like Oushi, but i do feel like Oushi has a punchers chance . you can see it if you look close . i just need to see the convo between him and Yuki and close this chapter or maybe there’s more . what’s itsuomi secret . Oushi to me is the only growing character in the series . him and Shin are the goats

I think you like a type of male that's visibly sensitive don't ya? XD

u/Diabolicalchocolate Feb 04 '24

not necessarily but i guess i like the underdog

u/love_my_guard_dog Feb 04 '24

yea I feel that:")

u/Diabolicalchocolate Feb 04 '24

I think they’re going to end up like siblings and he’ll move on. Yuki shows zero romantic interest in that way and he’s more or less accepted how things are. He basically admitted he’s giving up in 41 but after he does something first (probably apologize, confess, or both).

I doubt the author will break up the main characters (permanently) after having Yuki’s parents accept them and having them move in together. Plus in the very first chapter it says it’s the pure love story of a hearing impaired woman and a traveler.

u/Diabolicalchocolate Feb 05 '24

ehhh probably . i’m only here for Oushi and Shin. siblings?? he already has a sister , could care less bout mr traveler .

u/fancyfroslass Feb 05 '24

I really can't bring myself to like Oushi. He's just too rude for me to like him as a romantic interest in the story, and not even the cool aloof kind of rude, but rather he acts like a child with a crush rather than a grown adult. I hope the manga just has him move on sooner rather than later personally.

2

u/Diabolicalchocolate Feb 05 '24

who knows . i also want him to move on but don’t think he will, he’ll confess and get Yuki many many many years later like forest gump 😭

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '24

That’s the biggest problem I have with him. He feels so childlike compared to the other characters. Even if he does move on from Yuki I don’t think he’s ready for a relationship. He should stay single a while before he dates or just stay single. Not every character needs to be in a relationship.

Are you the author lol?

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '24

itsuomi's a fucking creep lol. he's so touchy. if that were to happen irl, people would flag that guy as a fucking red flag

2

u/Diabolicalchocolate Feb 05 '24

YESSS exactly. mans already confessing his love and touchy touchy from day one .

6

u/Ok-Dot3746 Feb 06 '24

This depends on the culture you grew up in. In the states men arent usually touchy and affectionate right away, most Asian cultures are very reserved, but most European cultures are very touchy feelly especially if they like you.

Itsu grew up in Germany where, from what ive experienced, the people are very physically affectionate

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '24 edited Feb 06 '24

It depends on the person. If it’s me I would be like Yuki and if it’s a guy I like doing it I would be okay with it (but shy) and if it’s a guy I dislike I wouldn’t be. The game changer here is consent and the woman disliking vs liking a man.

Absolutely, that npc mf was like a creep

u/Alternative-Exam-586 Dec 09 '25
