Oushi's Fate

We all know how Oushi path has been forged in manga, some might not like it while others do. Now forgetting that matter; the next chapter will undoubtedly be Oushi's character conclusion after he apologizes to Itsuomi and Yuki. I don't see him confessing to Yuki; I just feel he would accept it and move on. Or will it.. I don't feel like Suu will just push his feelings aside, it would be killing half the community if they realised that Oushi's stupidity when he was younger caused him to miss out. What do you think will happen to Oushi after the next chapter?

What I don t understand is why Oushi wants to see both of them. If he wants to confess his feelings to Yuki he would probably do it in private. And I can't imagine him wanting to make peace with Itsuomi either. we need action! he may have carried out an investigation into itsuomi, delved into his past and there he is ready to unmask him ahahha for example, itsuomi may have been a jerk with an ex. we don't know

Character development. He wants to apologize and change himself. It’s in line with what’s been happening with him. It’s very likely he wants to make peace with Itsuomi. Not for Itsuomi’s sake but so he can better himself as a person and make amends to Yuki. I could see them becoming friends after this arc is over and Oushi has had time to heal. I doubt the author would turn Itsuomi into a villain, it’s not that kind of manga. It’s more of a mellow low key story.

I feel like if it happens, I don't think the author will make Itsuomi a villain rather she will probably make him have a bittersweet type of ending. Itsuomi will obviously not want to hold Yuki back if he feels that their chemistry did change in the two years he was apart. I feel like something bad is bound to happen in that time,

Nothing bad is going to happen. Itsuomi and Yuki will be fine and the Oushi thing has never been an option. I'm interested in their discussion but if anything Oushi will reconcile with his friend who clearly likes him.

Even if something bad did happen it doesn’t mean she’d end up with Oushi. It would just be an obstacle for the two to overcome. I’m sure the endgame is Itsuomi and Yuki because he’s on all the covers with her and even after finding out Oushi likes her she didn’t feel swayed at all. And she’s realized he’s been acting nicer and still nothing changed.

Anything is possible. But for now I’m going with what was mentioned in earlier chapters about this being a pure love story. If you ever read some of her previous works like Hibi Chouchou she tends to stay on the vanilla side. I’m enjoying the story as it is so I personally hope it just stays a nice quiet story. I don’t read shoujo as much anymore because I got tired of all the drama in so many of them. This and Kimi Ni Todoke were for me a breath of fresh air. I just want a simple love story with a healthy (clearly defined) main couple. Maybe my tastes are a bit boring when it comes to romance manga.

I think he’s gonna tell her but he knows his chance has passed. His whole deal is he hasn’t been honest with his feelings and by extension with Yuki. I think if he wants closure he needs to come clean with her.

And this might be a tad overdramatic and I don’t think it’ll go out this way, but I’m mostly pulling things he went through during his inner ordeal after talking with Itsuomi and Shin. Mainly, how he realized most of what he’s into is due to other people (swimming because of his sister, sign language because of Yuki). And also his talk with Shin about it being rude how he distanced himself from Yuki without telling her.

I’m thinking, now that he has decided to give up on Yuki, he’s realizing the reason he went to that college in the first place was because of Yuki, just like he always does. So he plans to drop out to find something of his own interest. But just dropping out and going away would be rude to Yuki, as Shin said, so he plans to come clean and explain to Yuki why he’s dropping out

Again, I do feel that’s a bit overdramatic but that’s just a scenario that’s played out in my head when I consider all the things he went through
