I was going to stop reading after the last volume because I didn’t like where the plot was going, but i ended up continuing so that i could see more of my boy fushi. i have to say that this volume was very redeeming! one of my favorite things was that fushi, someone who has never learned about love before, doesn’t know about homophobia and was never wrongly taught that being gay was bad, so he (correctly) thinks that the gender of the people in a relationship doesn’t matter. it just goes to show that same sex relationships wouldn’t be seen as bad to homophobes if they were never taught that way:) keep it up fushi!!
SpoilerAUGHHHH I ABSOLUTELY HATE KAHAKU WITH MY ENTIRE BODY AND SOUL. THE WAY HE TALKS TO FUSHI AS IF HES ONLY PARONAS FORM AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIS OTHER BODIES AND HIS ORIGINAL PERSONALITY. KAHAKU ALSO TRIED TO TEACH HIM THAT IF YOURE A BOY YOU LIKE GIRLS AND IF YOURE A GIRL YOU LIKE BOYS, AND THAT MAKES ME WANT TO DO UNSPEAKABLE THINGS TO HIM. FUSHI SHOULD BE PROPERLY TAUGHT ABOUT US GAYS SO THAT HE CAN FIGURE HIMSELF OUT. THE AUTHOR DID SO WELL MAKING KAHAKU A HATEABLE CHARACTER. ALL MY HOMIES HATE KAHAKU!!!!

Edit: I just finished volume 12 and Kahaku is kind of likeable now. He really risked it all for Fushi and I think he got in touch with and realized that he doesn't love Parona, he loves Fu :)))) I didn't think we'd be getting queer rep in this series but man, it was nice (and sad TwT).
