Loving the heartbreaking drama.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Oh man
At the start of the series I was rooting for Aoi very strongly but after what happened I put it over me and started to root for Ryuuji. Im so mad they made him go through this, so even if my actual main pair at the start was with Aoi I can't bring myself to enjoy it anymore. It also made more sense to me, Aoi should have seen that she can be someone's special one in a very deep but platonic way, which makes her not alone.

Felt bad for Aoi again but she has Makoto and Ryuuji with her now. Knew that was coming at the end there, Makoto's heart lies somewhere else. It was nice to see the three together.

Christmas date was ruined and now it turns out Makoto isn't gay enough for Ryuuji :/ At least the moments with Aoi were cute

I mean I already knew this was going to happen but still it hurts watching this. Honestly though for this show and a bunch of other triangles polyamory will solve it all lol. Aoi did even suggest living with Ryu before. Like they legitimately could all just live together without any romantic relationships even and just live happily ever after too. 3 best friends wouldn't be a bad end I'm just saying.

My reading on the situation (assuming the characters adhere to an internal logic) is that Ryuji and Makoto are just very close, intimate friends. The fact that Makoto is good looking and crossdresses just confuses Ryuji, bringing other feelings into the equation. It may be a case of "just because your childhood friend is good looking and crossdresses as a girl, doesn't mean your friendship has to turn into a romance.

In that case, the narrative would once again prove its inclination for nuance and avoidance of unnecessary simplification of the "if, then" kind.

As for Aoi, increasingly it looks like what she needs are proper parent figures, not lovers or friends. Not forgetting that parents also can be friends, with a parental distinction. What would be best for the three? Well, what is perfect love? If friendship is the answer to that question, then perhaps they already possess what they need, they just need to realize it.

Goddamn, its a long series of misunfortunate events. Aoi's mom wanted to see her. Its so fucking sad. So did the mom go to Aoi's house and not find her there or did she chicken out on the way over?

This anime is a little too real. Why can't they become a throuple? I've been saying this since day 1 and its the only way things would work out for them and keep everyone happy. I'm glad that Ryuji is emotionally intelligent because most people would ignore or not notice the obvious signs.

On a side note, I really liked the music in this episode, the cello was nice. They did a good job at setting up moments with the music.

It's Christmas day and everyone has their own plans. Saki thought she saw her mom passes by in a taxi. Makoto and Ryuji has plans together but it fell through.

Dang, Ryuuji is such a homie, I feel bad for him but he honestly deserves someone better than Makoto. No matter what, he never blames others and is always there for Makoto and Aoi. Makoto cares for him as a friend, but he is emotionally too immature to deal with relationships right now, otherwise he wouldn't be stringing along his friend like that. It's nice that he's thinking about keeping his friend happy, but I think that more has to do with his own insecurities and not wanting to drift apart (like how Aoi has drifted apart) rather than genuinely thinking through how Ryuuji would feel being strung along by him.

I'm glad at least Ryuuji was aware all along that Makoto just did not understand his feelings to begin with and just wasn't blindly strung along, although I'm sure it still hurts a lot for him since it's what he wishes would happen. It's good on him that he decides to end it himself rather than keep going though, he would be the person most hurt by this charade the longer it goes on after all. I wish it wasn't triggered by Aoi since she did nothing wrong here (not saying Ryuuji blames her, but it does make her look somewhat bad).

Speaking of, we get Aoi thrown back into the mix, I'm honestly not a fan of this typical drama scenario, but things are looking like they will ship that way now. Man, honestly I'd rather Ryuuji end up with Aoi honestly, but you can't choose your feelings after all...
