The Ryu and Chizu situation has been plaguing my mind since I found out that she was in 사랑 with Ryu's older brother. Ryu was my 가장 좋아하는 male character from the beginning. I liked his chill personality, and knowing that there was 더 많이 to him than met the naked eye. When he said he loved Chizu, I paused the episode on my laptop and had a mini celebration. I, personally, am a sucker for the childhood friend becoming 사랑 interests type of story. But there has to be a 'road block' in the process. Unfortunately, Chizu was in 사랑 with the 'road block'. Ryu is still consistent in his passive persuit after Chizu, and I really admire that about him. In the manga, his emotions are shown in small gestures, which causes the reader to pay 더 많이 attention to him when he appears. At the sports meet, he made his feeling clear. At the pier with Chizu, he made himself vunerable with his emotions. I was really personally moved 의해 his proclamation of 사랑 (given that I was already infatuated with him). I am up-to-date with the most recent chapter of the manga, and I am hoping for the best for the two of them. I think Chizu is starting to realize that she has some feelings for Ryu, too! But tell my guys. Do 당신 think that Ryu's 사랑 for Chizu is unrequited, 또는 will it just take time to mature?
