You think he has one on him? I didn't get that vibe at all haha

If he wanted to do it to be a perfect then he couldn't help Akk do a good thing. Unless he wants to catch him not listening to Chadok to get his turn. Type of thing.
If he does like him...it wouldn't matter which kind of help though. I suppose. haha

That would be great...especially if he was helping Akk do bad things while Akk was starting to question.

I thought it was interesting he also came to the beach. I was wondering if he did in order to watch things get a good feel for how true Akk still was to the school or something. haha

If it was...who do you think he would be saying that to?

If they kiss on the boat...is that potentially too early still?

I hope it is him saying it to Ayan and not something else. haha

This beach episode feels like the calm before the storm. haha

Caught up. Like it so far~

The first episode had a couple cute yet funny bits ~

oh.. found one to try

I mean who knows...but I dont think so personally.

The no plot thing is just incorrect. If they said it was too boring, slow or messy (etc) for them...that's different. There has definitely been a plot this whole time. haha

It is weird to think some don't think there is chemistry when you feel it so strongly. Maybe it's not that they dont feel the chemistry but it's not the type they prefer and so it feels lackluster to them.

The real issue...I feel...is it's stuck between Bad Buddy and Not Me. It's not as sweet and comedic as BB or as gritty as NM. I don't think a lot like mysteries either. I only say that because there aren't a lot of mysteries being made compared to other things. I'm always like...yay a mystery that's not lameo!

I think it is a good mystery mixed with flirty tension. Some cute moments yet not fluffy. Every character seems to have a certain anount of depth as well.

I joined just because of a comment section. haha It's interesting what can pull you to join a site.

Cool cool.
Just making sure. haha

I mean what story is ever perfection? The enjoyment factor is probably the most important at the end of the day. Usually. It's good to be excited~

Haha the glued comment gave me a funny picture in my head.

Oh, I see what you mean. I hope you didn't feel I was taking a dig at your criticial thinking skills. That was definitely not my intention.

It does feel like I'm more connected to Ayan than Akk even though the latter has a directness to his words and actions. Whereas Ayan has a more mysterious vibe. It's interesting since we probably haven't been shown everything about the characters yet.
I hope the characters and story unfold nicely. There were/are definitely parts that could turn out disappointing depending on what ends up happening.

Ayan has been watching Akk.. just not as obviously. We are usually watching things from Akks view as well. It is rare for us to see Ayans actions without Akk being around. I think this might be because he is suppose to be more unknown to us. We see Akk talking to pretty much everyone yet don't know how much Ayan has told or talked to Thua. For an example.
Ayan seems to be poking at things in certain ways to gauge reactions. In relation to the school and Akk. Him teasing the perfect and other acts actually helps him get more information.
As far as confronting, he might have been waiting to catch him in the act again after analyzing Akk as a person. To see who he is close to...if he is doing it alone and so on. And he did confront him as soon as he caught him.

Maybe there is a reason they can't suspend them. Like some kind of reputation issue. Showing they are failing. I don't know what the rules are with that kind of thing over there.
But I never thought they were protesting about outfits. I can see why people might get hung up on that (cause it's a lackluster reason) and even think that's the main thing they are complaining about. I just am not getting that. It's about freedom. In my opinion. Even the other characters are struggling with freedom. Wats issue with not being free to do what he is passionate about. Kan and Thua not being/feeling free to love the same sex. So on and so forth. I know those examples might not be directly tied to the school, but there are still connections. Protesting is about being free to be them. That includes being able to love who you want and not get bullied. Not just clothing. It's about changing the old oppressive rules. Is how I see it. Sometimes it's best to start with the potentially easiest thing to change first...and work up from there. Perhaps that's why uniforms were addressed at the beginning.

Because Ayan helped him?
Plus, we don't know what they talked about.

Oh, maybe.
I thought you were going to say he just wanted to show off and look cool/useful. haha

Someone could have forced him or he helped Ayan fake it. Or he thinks it's for Ayans best interest for whatever reason.

I was thinking they knew the protest might happen and planned it ahead of time. Since they have known of others--like the recent one. Meaning...the plan could have been to release the break before the protest started to make it roll down the slow decline. Giving Akk just enough time to swing around without running like his life depended on it.

Yeah, at the time I thought Akks actions during the investigation was a bit strange.

Manipulation seems to be at play here. You are responsible for your own actions, but cult level manipulation changes you. It's highly likely he wouldn't have thought to do these in the past. What level of fault do we give to someone who has been manipulated? Is it 80, 60, 30 percent their fault alone? Or do we even consider them a victim at all because they physically did the things? In Akks case we don't know how manipulated he is yet, but we have gotten hints of how easily influenced he can be. Which is a double edge sword. A target for all kinds of baddies, but likely able to be pulled out easier than others. Perhaps.

What I took from Ayan saying that was more to have Akk look at what he really wants and doesn't want. He seems to not want to hurt and disappoint people. Those are some of the traits that have been used to manipulate him in the first place. He is hurting to stop disappointment, but hurts himself doing it. Since he doesn't want to hurt others.
I mean there is more to it than that but...I'm giving more of an example of what could be.
