Saezuru 56 #andmore
I've read so many reactions to the latest chapter I feel like I need to share my own take on it, please excuse the vagueness.
Mama's storyline come to mind as a tattooed person myself. Only fresh tattoos can be felt on the skin so in chapter 51 when Yashiro notices something is up with Doumeki it's because the tattoo is fresh.
Maybe from a previous visit to Mama?
BL novels usually don't highlight relationships with females, of course this can be added for extra angst, but I hope it's not the case here as angst levels are over the top already.
When Inami reveals Yashiro's impotence in chapter 55, Doumeki reflects on their recent sexual encounter and looks terrified remembering that Yashiro seemed to be in pain.
The first time they have sex Yashiro asks Doumeki to "make it hurt more" but he refuses as Yashiro enjoys the sex without it being painful. (chapter 25). A few pages later Doumeki says something to Yashiro that's still unrevealed "you are my..."
When they have sex after the timejump and we see the stolen contact lens case, I think Yashiro discovers it as its placement is different in the first panel than in the second. I hope all dots are being connected soon (chapter 52)
There is also a hidden gem in this chapter, when Yashiro remembers he fainted and a recent memory pops up. It's their latest encounter as Doumeki's scar is visible and not covered with tape (as in chapter 25). Here Doumeki seemingly kisses Yashiro's hair/neck lovingly.
Doumeki might want revenge on Yashiro as he previously stated to Mr.chestnut in chapter 40 but he might just become good at being yakuza so he manipulates chestnut to get the information he needs (confirmation that he is about to meet Yashiro). The same could apply to Mama, Doumeki knows he is being watched by his own group and probably purposefully develops a connection (whatever type) with Mama.
Yashiro of course has no idea about love, with Kageyama he jokingly expressed some things but painted a very lewd and promiscuous picture of himself (maybe to get a reaction of jealousy but he only received some distaste and perceived pity). He is doing the same with Doumeki but in the last chapter he does let some intimacy between them when he shows his jealousy and expresses he felt mistreated. Similar to chapter 15 when he tries to get Doumeki admit something to verify his idea of Doumeki's actions.
Yashiro overall seems to have pretty low confidence when it comes to his lovability, I think that could be one of the reasons he threw Doumeki away he just does not understand/believes Doumeki's feelings for him and absolutely unsure what to do in such situation. I suspect Yashiro is not the type to step out of his comfort zone (yet). I also suspect Doumeki is aware of Yashiro's situation but he is not quite sure if it's the truth or just wishful thinking.
Either way I hope these lovely 2d characters can learn together what they need to feel comfortable with each other. 😳💓✨
