Yoshiro

It's supposed to be romantic but it's not, I actually went in with low expectations such as that they won't kiss or be too affectionate in general so that's not even the thing that bothered me.What did bother me though was that sumiko moved to Ryu and stayed there to raise kanau with them. I don't have a problem with sumiko herself, but making her move in and stay just took the focus away from Ryu and yohan. Ultimately yohan moves away and those two keep living together, raising the baby.Ryu just completely accepted it that yohan moved out, from one day to another, without even trying to stop him. Without ever contacting him after that. That's how deep his "love" for yohan was. Literally stopped caring for his "soulmate" as if they didn't had a bond for multiple months, as I said he clearly didn't even check up on him not even with a call or text message. They went from friends to strangers again.Then at the end after idk how many years he goes to yohan and they act as if they weren't apart for multiple years, as if their bond is still as strong as in the beginning. Like they want to tell me that it was OK for them to not see each other again etc while they should have been full of emotions then but years later everything is OK as if none of them could have "fallen out of love" with one another. Besides Ryu says at the end that he loves him, implying he cares for him, but at the same time he's moving to a new house with sumiko and even marrying her. If anything he is more soulmate with sumiko than with yohan in the first place and I don't even mean this in a romantic sense, clearly sumiko is his childhood friend, they lived together shortly in Germany, then shortly in Japan when sumiko came back and then longterm after seiichi dies... Their bond is much deeper because seemingly they cared and helped each other much more, as far as to marrying each other and raising a kid together. Thats probably one of the reasons why it fails to portray yohan and him as soulmates, romance aside although it was promoted as such. That's my opinion at least
