Popular Serizawa Acts Weird around Me Episode 8

painfully relatable...

I must admit I really get Suzuki... He's someone who lacks confidence and self-esteem, and I'm not surprised it is that way after what he went through, I don't think he was always like this though, but we have to take into consideration the fact that the wound left by his ex classmates is still fairly recent, I know what it's like to be ridiculed because of your interests and hobbies, so I assume being in a friend group where he can finally be himself is still new and something he will need to get used to, romance on the other hand is something entirely different... we as the viewers are very well aware of the plot and that Serizawa's crush is obviously Suzuki, but when you have very little self-esteem the thought of someone liking you feels like a crime, so if someone else checked out all the boxes it's only natural that Suzuki thought of Takeuchi and not himself, what breaks my heart a little bit is the fact that it seems as if he had already gave up on his feelings for Serizawa... but I'd admit that the selflessness of wanting to "root for him" and support him is a very noble act, yes he might have been faint-hearted, but Serizawa is his first crush after all, I'd cut him some slack.

Even the girls can read the atmosphere. But somehow Suzuki continues looking everywhere except at himself—and eventually decides Serizawa must be talking about Takeuchi!At this point, I almost feel sorry for Serizawa. He has been so kind and attentive to Suzuki, and he is practically describing him directly, yet Suzuki still doesn't realize it.But perhaps that's exactly why Serizawa fell for him.Suzuki isn't pretending to be innocent or playing hard to get.
