2024-06-21 11:48:54 +0000 UTCHe's vice captain of the soccer team. He was part of the scam team for the Great Fortune Teller Hino in the last chapter. Which honestly, a great duo! Would go to their booth again. 😂
DearNeptune!
2024-06-21 06:55:49 +0000 UTCHelp I don't even remember who Takahashi is 😭
Silencio
2024-06-21 05:53:48 +0000 UTCIt's from Chapter 3 when Akeda and Takahashi mention to the team that they managed to recruit more players
Norin
2024-06-20 19:37:56 +0000 UTCCan anyone tell me more about the Takahashi blackmail thing? I can’t remember it!
Laurenjedi
2024-06-20 13:43:28 +0000 UTCYou can find all the written q&as here and on tapas/webtoon. The one with the keywords is the last one she posted there, before the live one

2024-06-14 15:28:05 +0000 UTCThat drawing was the reason I've always believed Nao already like Souta before Souta liked him lol
Mari
2024-06-14 15:23:37 +0000 UTCSame gonna reread it for the 6 time or smth 😂😅

2024-06-14 11:51:51 +0000 UTCI always thought the blackmail-comment was a joke, but now I actually believe you're on to something 👀
Norin
2024-06-14 06:54:24 +0000 UTCI love your pfp
Natalie
2024-06-14 05:08:13 +0000 UTCRe-reading the comments. Nao is way too confident. He needs a rival to bring him down a notch, lol. Souta can't compute Nao openingly liking him. I wonder how he would do with another person. Or if they were more upfront and direct. 😉
Sandy Shar
2024-06-14 04:06:53 +0000 UTCExcept this time Aina wouldn't be saying sorry. 😁

2024-06-14 04:03:07 +0000 UTCTHE SCREAM I LET OUT AT HIS LITTLE GRIN
Kathleen
2024-06-14 03:59:55 +0000 UTCRIGHT im already convinced he’s liked souta since the start idc!! its so obvious!!😂🩷 but ofc a confirmation from the comic or the author would be even better lololol we’ll wait until then :>
jen
2024-06-14 03:45:45 +0000 UTCLOL he meant to say “maybe im just in love with you”🤣

Veiwan
2024-06-14 02:45:19 +0000 UTCLol its so funny. I'm reading the comments and everyone is theorizing Nao having a crush first and I just remember the first q&a Aina did when someone asked them to kiss when it was still really early in the comic. Souta was grossed out but Nao blushed. So I think she's been implying for a while that Nao had a "thing" for Souta Lol. Ithink Nao just doesn't know what a healthy romantic relationship looks like because of his parents so he probably doesn't know how to make the first move with someone he likes.
Sora
2024-06-14 02:42:32 +0000 UTCSouta is a gonner for Nao and Nao is a tease. Like what do you mean you're masochist?! 😭
Zarrytan
2024-06-14 02:32:49 +0000 UTCNao's a confidant man when God isn't striking him down with fatalities.

2024-06-14 02:21:10 +0000 UTC"Maybe I'm a masochist." Menace Nao you will Always be famous. Hit em again.

2024-06-14 02:16:15 +0000 UTCI always find that hilarious, honestly. When authors forget random small details and me as a fan is hyper fixating on it. 😂 It's a nice reminder that they've got bigger better things planned out for their fans to lose it over.
DearNeptune!
2024-06-14 01:58:52 +0000 UTC🤔 Huh. I forgot about Takahashi saying that... I wonder if Aina remembers him saying that... (Author can forget those minor details over tome only to have very observant fans ask about it later...)
Sandy Shar
2024-06-14 01:55:38 +0000 UTCNao: I never hated you. Also Nao: *fades on sight with Souta for the first 5 chapters* 😂😂 Really though, Nao actually was the kid who didn't know what to do about his crush cause feelings. He had so much going on, and as Aina, Souta, and us fans have mentioned, he didn't have time or capacity to focus on liking someone. So he teased his crush for attention. Even before he probably recognized the crush. 🥹 Then soccer comes along and he gets the chance to be closer without having to be annoying. Which brings me back to Takahashi's blackmail. As much as he loves to troll people, he doesn't seem like the type to dangle something as big as a same-sex crush over someone's head. Not without them knowing he'd never actually say anything. But Takahashi also seems very observant, can't be a great troll if you don't know your audience. I feel like he must have noticed Nao's eyes following Souta. He either knew Nao was crushing and downplayed it as a friendship, or genuinely thought Nao just wanted to be Souta's friend. The former seems more likely to me. Maybe he tells Nao how much Souta is looking forward to winning this year, or how Souta wants more players. And that's what makes Nao cave. Not so much the blackmail, but making Souta happy. Ah, I just love them so much.
DearNeptune!
2024-06-14 01:39:10 +0000 UTCSure seems like a half confession if I ever saw one
Stephanie Pabst
2024-06-14 01:26:49 +0000 UTCthere's gonna be a half confession?!?
Chip Bianco
2024-06-14 01:12:01 +0000 UTCi think maybe POSSIBLY souta might tell nao he’s bi, but then again maybe not bc souta’s feelings for nao have been enhanced a ton these past episodes LMAOOOO

2024-06-14 00:42:57 +0000 UTCI think we all would. It would be a real massacre

RAE
2024-06-14 00:24:31 +0000 UTC🫠 I would literally die. I can see Souta passing out from that. Lmao.
Sandy Shar
2024-06-14 00:24:22 +0000 UTCIs there gonna be a half confession?

procra
2024-06-14 00:17:45 +0000 UTCI totally agree! I've always read the comic with that in mind, actually lol
Mari
2024-06-14 00:17:08 +0000 UTCMaybe he didn't realise it was that he liked him but I think he's been attracted to him since the first day of their first year. ON DAY ONE, SOUTA CAUGHT HIS EYES TWICE IN THE CROWDS. When he realized, well not sure... denial can be pretty strong.
Sandy Shar
2024-06-14 00:15:50 +0000 UTCNow I'm just picturing someone else liking Nao, Souta getting jealous and Nao noticing it. So he uses all that smooth charm of his and says something like "Are you jealous or something? You don't have to worry, you know. You're still my favorite"
Mari
2024-06-14 00:13:59 +0000 UTCWait, how long do you think Nao has liked Souta!!!?
binarytrimble
2024-06-14 00:11:47 +0000 UTCI've said it before, got back and read with the idea that Nao liked Souta and tell me he hasn't already fallen... 🥰
Sandy Shar
2024-06-14 00:07:44 +0000 UTCOOOH I WONDER !!
grrrbarkbark
2024-06-14 00:07:42 +0000 UTCLet's see. It's been how many times Souta has frozen infront of Nao in the past 4 days? At his work when being picked up, when he asked about kissing, when he was "helping him" with his make up, and now when Nao was saying he only joined soccer cause of Souta... Seriously, how many hints does Nao need to give? Its like Souta cant compute them and reboots, lol. 🙄
Sandy Shar
2024-06-14 00:06:51 +0000 UTCNao's one hell of an actor lol A truly hidden talent
Mari
2024-06-14 00:03:15 +0000 UTCHe's so smooth, how can you not be proud.
Sandy Shar
2024-06-14 00:02:57 +0000 UTCThe Q and A has been posted for everyone to watch now. Aina put the link in webtoon and tapas. Not sure if it is on here. Can't remember if the original link was disabled...
Sandy Shar
2024-06-14 00:02:07 +0000 UTCI don't think it's slightly...

2024-06-14 00:00:42 +0000 UTCRight? Like his depression and anxiety is just gone. All he wants is the boy who fixed him. 🥰😉🫠

Sandy Shar
2024-06-13 23:56:54 +0000 UTCOkay, I just gotta pinpoint something here, cause I don't think Souta's realizing the magnitude of what's happening here. NAO FUCKING STARTED PLAYING SOCCER AGAIN, WHICH WAS A TRAUMA FOR HIM, JUST BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE CLOSER TO SOUTA!!!!!!! WHILE THEY STILL HAD THEIR "HATING" DYNAMICS GOING ON AND NAO MUST'VE ALSO BEEN THINKING SOUTA HATED HIM!!!!!!

2024-06-13 23:49:07 +0000 UTCHow long has Nao been playing with Souta knowing how he really felt?
Sandy Shar

2024-06-13 23:39:49 +0000 UTC"Something about that also kept me coming back for more" would have me *immediately* going "😮 what are we?" Also my poor baby kitten got so scared when I squealed 🤣

Mari
2024-06-13 23:29:22 +0000 UTCohh!!! i was only able to watch the first couple minutes of the q&a, so thank you for clarifying!!!

2024-06-13 23:28:57 +0000 UTCthey do say that hate and love can get confused very easily 👀
Hannah
2024-06-13 23:28:04 +0000 UTCIn a qna we were given a list of keywords as hints at upcoming arcs. One of the words was half-confession. I don't remember them all but there was also rival, karaoke, and amusement park
Monty Mon
2024-06-13 23:27:43 +0000 UTCYEAH RIGHT?!!! I also think that! It just made me wonder what happened before, what have we not seen because we look at them through Souta’s eyes?

jahleel domingo
2024-06-13 23:19:00 +0000 UTCFOREVER!! I think he's liked Souta from the beginning, even if he only realized it a bit later (still think he did it before Souta though)
Mari
2024-06-13 23:18:04 +0000 UTCNot even letting us overthink this I see😂

2024-06-13 23:15:36 +0000 UTCIs the chapter called boys and girls because someone will say that they like both boys and girls
eemmao
2024-06-13 23:15:32 +0000 UTCI am breathing so heavily 😂 I love how confident Nao is looking in the last panels. He’s not afraid to let Souta know how much he appreciates him and gosh, Souta needs that SO MUCH. He’s so insecure in his love, it’s sweet but annoys me to death because of how obvious Nao can be. A few weeks ago I read again one chapter where Nao looks lovingly at Souta’s sleeping face and it just hit me: “damn, how long has Nao been in love with Souta?” 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Ximinnie
2024-06-13 23:15:05 +0000 UTCAlso, that pat on the shoulder? The guy knows what he's doing. He's so fucking confident hahaha
Mari
2024-06-13 23:14:44 +0000 UTCholy where did nao get all this confidence from? ..…I’m lovin it tho
jen
2024-06-13 23:14:35 +0000 UTCNah cause “maybe I’m just a masochist” is WILD LMFAOAOS. Not used to Nao joking so much helppp
Sweetish
2024-06-13 23:14:28 +0000 UTCNao's giving me the vibes of someone who, even if he doesn't know if his crush likes him back, is doing all he can to win him over. "I have Arashi now as a friend, now I need my other friend whom I've liked forever to become my boyfriend" lol

2024-06-13 23:05:59 +0000 UTCmaybe the real half a confession was the friends we made along the way
SaltyButSad
2024-06-13 23:05:31 +0000 UTCOh wow..🥹 I feel like we're really progressing on the romantic level somehow, Nao is becoming so... confident? Idk because I've been following week after week for a while now but it seems to me like he really opened up so so much😭
little coconut
2024-06-13 23:05:28 +0000 UTCThis may not be the half confession, but Souta. He just told you he loves you and wants to spend the rest of his life with you. Just callin it like I see it. 🤗😌
DearNeptune!
2024-06-13 23:05:05 +0000 UTCmaybe it’s not our half confession . but it’s like a quarter confession bc like man was invested in souta from the beginning and he did not know why (but we know why)
Hannah
2024-06-13 23:04:55 +0000 UTCIt feels like Nao is finnaly free from everything that was holding him back 🤧
