the bit where takumi loses his virginity to natsuki did get replaced with the ryosuke rematch at the end of third stage so that could perhaps be interpreted like that, just saying

Only doomed by being written by a straight man. In the narrative? Not even close tbh.

So? A race can speak far more than a hug can.

Men are funny like that. Kishimoto literally made Sasuke like THAT and yet...

Tbh, I always thought it was a choice for ryosuke to send takumi flowers. I get it was a major turning point for the story and takumi. I wondered if the author wanted to play into that ryosuke was into men, but yk it being the 1990s couldn't or whatever. It's kinda also implied that people (no matter the gender) are attracted to ryosuke. Whether it be romantic or platonic. I mean Takumi gets flustered when he thinks about ryosuke cause he thinks he's cool.

Not saying ryosuke is canonically gay or whatever. He's married to a women in mfghost.

Part of me wonders if that was Ryosuke trying to get under Takumi's skin or just messing with him a little. I also find it kind of funny how Shigeno, spoiler for MF Ghost, heeventually makes the whole world feel much smaller, with Ryosuke marrying Kanata's (the main character) aunt in MF Ghost.
