There really isnвЂ™t any question in his mind that heвЂ™d risk everything, including his career, to make Izumi happy. Ryouma is pretty solid about his feelings for Izumi. The fact that heвЂ™s even considering it, though, seems to be setting off alarm bells in his head that he might just maybe harbor some feelings for Ryouma. When Rei confirms that someone who hasnвЂ™t had a lot of experience with guys and has restraint issues like Ryouma would probably not be the most gentle lover, Izumi gets freaked out even more. HeвЂ™s understandably hesitant about the whole situation because gay sex looks like it can be downright painful. When he starts to focus more on the fact that they are two guys and the problems that could cause, he once again approaches the situation like a total geek and buys a ton of BL manga so he can figure out what exactly gay sex consists of. He expresses his feelings through his fanboyish tendencies and buys an abundance of Ryouma merchandise. ItвЂ™s pretty obvious that Izumi has strong feelings about Ryouma now, but heвЂ™s not sure what to do with them. Two guys kissing on a couch? Censor that immediately!Д«eyond this lovely bit of eye candy, the plot of the episode was equal parts charming and frustrating. Slow pan of a naked guy in the shower? Fine. These are some unusual censorship standards weвЂ™ve got going on here. I do find it odd, though, that that scene is permitted in the show but the moment two mostly clothed guys start to kiss one of them is obligated to suddenly become completely transparent and turn a into the sky. ItвЂ™s always surprising to see it reversed and, though IвЂ™m not particularly fond of the super muscular type of person, I at least appreciated the short scene for what it was. We really didnвЂ™t need to see Ryouma naked in the shower humming to himself as water drips down his impeccably toned abs, but hey, we got a few seconds of it anyway. I can only take so much UST before I start actually screaming at my computer monitor.Д«efore even getting into the meat of the plot, can we just take a moment to appreciate the gratuitous Ryouma showering scene? I often get irked by the male gaze being used in media to objectify women, but this was a complete reversal of that concept. From a narrative stand point, though, I really wish the two of them would hurry up and get on with it.

His reasoning is pretty sound, though, and while it may seem like heвЂ™s stringing Ryouma along, I back him up entirely. ItвЂ™s pretty clear at this point that the love is going both ways between Izumi and Ryouma, but Izumi is still very reluctant to admit to his feelings. Have you ever wanted to grab two characters, bop their heads together, and scream: вЂњYou two are in love each other!вЂќ at them until they got the point? That was basically how I felt throughout this entire episode.
