花をたどれば君の指先

Where is the looooooore?!?!? I wanted more Kotofuji loooooooooore!!!! This had me on a frustrating rollercoaster because I really wanted to be a reincarnation story in a way, but instead we got ghost fucking. Fine. Whatever. But then they show me interesting backstory for Kotofuji and now I'm invested but they're not spending time talking. I want talking. I need talking. I want to know more about Kotofuji and Tsuguyasu and more about why he was in pain in the shrine.

It just feels like things aren't being said, it's just being swept under the rug so they don't have to deal with the conversation of it. Or there was a conversation but it happened off screen and I want to throw my ereader.

Not to be ace on main but if these bitches don't start conversating in my romances I'm gonna start chainsawing tables.

Update: So, I wrote all that around ch 3 or 4 and while a conversation did finally happen, everything I said still stands so I'm not removing all that. I'm actually both confused and angry about how this went. Yes, we got more backstory for Kotofuji. Yes, we got a "let's talk about this" moment. The conversation and explanation was so surface level that I felt tired reading them not wanting to be a "burden" to each other on top of being a tiny bit confused Kotofuji and Tsuguyasu's timeline together.

Not even a marriage proposal, my favorite thing in a manga, saved this for me.

But then they showed me an interesting backstory for Kotofuji, got me invested only to see them do nothing with it? I want to see them talk more about Kotofuji’s past, about Tsuguyasu, and more about why he was in pain in the shrine.

It just feels like things aren't being said, we’re seeing it get swept under the rug so they don't have to deal with conversing about it. But when there was a conversation it would happen off-screen most of the time and I wanted to throw my ereader.
