THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
----------------------------------------
Taka(black hair female friend of the group) is cool. you always need someone like that with you.
dam ex keeps showing up lol, i never expect her and there she appears again...
and Kakeru is a pretty stand up guy when it comes to friendship too. every time Suwa encourages him to confess or go after Naho, he says the same to Suwa knowing they both like her. I like that about both of them.

oh man but kinda of failed to miss a point about the Future Naho, that maybe she did not know that Kakeru liked her for sure. Based on her reaction we see in the future. because in the letters she does mention things she meant to do but wasn't able to so maybe some of the key moments didn't happen like in the new present time. so in the other future time line they were merely close friends hmm.

and the other part of Suwa Note was well said by the future Suwa. Suwa in the present also knows Kakaru is going to die, and basically told him his regret clearly and asks him perfectly how to repair that. truly making Both Suwa's in to stand up guys. it will be hard for one if not both.

oh and nice convey of feelings from Kakeru actually saying it. wonder if it will turn out to be a full confession as in them going out officially soon? well see.

This chapter does bring in a lot more detail and more to think about i can say that.

All these mixed feelings after reading this moving chapter. I am really happy for Kakeru and Naho, but the highlight in this chapter for me was Suwa. I am a sucker for unrequited love. Gah. I shed a teardrop for him. I had to.
To think that it was intentional that Suwa left the continuation of the letter he received. Ugh, my heaaaart </3

OhMyGashhH! I cried in the last part! I mean, How heatrtbreaking it could be that your love of your life is being confessed to by your friend with your damn help! The heck of it! Just because you have soccer?! Shames! I confirmed my feelings because of this chapter! I really love Suwa! No matter what! Naho must end up with Suwa. Not that I don't like Kakeru but Suwa deserves much better! Ugh. Shames! My heart! Ugh.

Damn it Suwa, your selflessness kills me ;_____;
To let go of the person you love so she can be with your friend - he's really amazing (even more so because his future self, who knew that a future with Naho would be possible, asked his past self to do so).
Reading the second part of the letter made me tear up. I hope he gets his happy ending. Otherwise it would break my heart! T_T

At the same time, the parts with them asking Kakeru what he wants "as presents" were very amusing~

Suwa deserves a standing ovation, even if he does not get the girl (at least not on the present timeline) I hope he gets a happy ending.

Well, it was said in the letter that the future Suwa couldn't root for Kakeru and Naho which is understanding... But now that Kakeru died, it's a different story!
What I want to say is that Suwa letter is in response to his previous "selfishness"!! So yeah he's still a nice guy but I think others people would have done the same think if your love rival is about to die from suicide.... >.<

Yet I still cried... T_T

God... this is heartwrenching

Its like i can already see the end, Naho will end up with Kakeru and Suwa will become the greatest soccer player or something like that... and i know that even with a good ending it will still be sad, actually now that i think of it both timelines are sad... first one Kakeru dies, second one Suwa suffers...

Anyway, i prefer suffer over death

Suwa is a great character however I feel its in part due to how selfless he is, if he really did go after Naho then he wouldn't be nearly as loveable... Anyways liked the chapter alot... and really hope that Kakeru has begun to truly be happy... I really like how he finally told Naho his feelings, and also wanted to say I feel awful for the future Naho who doesn't find out until much later that Kakeru loved her, and how all of the pieces of the puzzle (his actions) all indicated this yet she didn't notice until way too late.

God, I hate coming into chapter discussions like this where it's filled with "wa wa wa poor Suwa is so nice he deserves her more." Naho is not a prize. She has her own feelings and she's in love with Kakeru. In the timeline where he dies she is filled with regrets and even though she finds comfort in Suwa he still notices how much Kakeru's death devastated her.

It's exactly because Suwa loves her that he gives up on his feelings for her. Do you think he enjoyed only being chosen after his competition died? He even says "after Kakeru died, Naho would just sit there and cry. I always regretted not being able to see the two of them together." Do you really think he wants to watch her cry day after day over another man?

Knowing that in some universe he helped Kakeru live is probably the greatest gift Altverse Suwa could give to Altverse Naho. It will let the both of them move forward in their lives without being weighed down by the past.

Well, now we know why Suwa didn't show the second part of the letter to Naho. But yeah, I definitely agree with the sentiment on this thread about Suwa. Just a great character and a refreshing one in this genre of manga.

Plus, this is also definitely true too:

That part.
Just imagine living with all that regret... seeing the person you love crying and feeling down because the one SHE loved died. I don't think anyone would be able to carry on with those feelings inside, that's just too sad. So I'm sure that when Suwa knew he had a chance to change their past he just did it right away, because well, at least in that time he got to spend time with Naho and he tried to make her happy, but he wants them to be happy forever... and who wouldnt? It's not like Suwa hated Kakeru, he just happened to like the same person as him but he thought of him as a friend and a friend's happiness is your own happiness imo.

I don't know why I do this to myself and keep reading this kind of manga ;~~;

MTE. But it's good manga. The plot (nicely done what if scenario), the theme, and the characters are lovable. I'm satisfied every month. Even though it's heart-wrenching, it's heart-wrenchingly beautiful.

Awwww at that ending. Seeing Kakeru smile like that and have his moment with Naho was just so heartwarming. But ugghhh it's heartbreaking for me to watch Suwa like that, knowing how much he loves Naho himself. He's doing this for the better of both of them though and to not have that sad regret in the future so I really respect him for that.

Excellent chapter, wow, this makes me cry.
Suwa giving her up because he knows she really loves Kakeru and Kakeru likes her makes sense. The meaning of the bouquet is so impactful, glad that this time he was able to tell her.
Suwa is really a great guy though.

That's true love indeed, I feel sad for Suwa ( I even got very emotional), I really support him with Naho but he always considers Naho's happiness before his own: I'm so grateful for him. ;_;
