im just going to say this, WHO HUGGS THERE FRIEND NAKED. If Shou wanted to portray a platonic relationship he didn't need to add these types of details to his manga. If he left those subtle touches out, I wouldn't care as much if there relationship was just friendship. I understand people have different relationships. But, from my own experience with my friends, I don't play footsies with them underneath a table when having dinner. I also, don't play house with them or HUG THEM NAKED IN THE SHOWER. When it comes to friendship there are certain boundaries you don't cross. That's why its a friendship. The undertones are way too much for it just to be a friendship.
My poor heart is disappointed that it didn't turn full yuri but we were never promised that I guess. Im just gutted this could have been a really good yuri manga instead its just an okay adult life/ stretching manga thing.
