#demisexual nanami real?

i think that nanami isn't someone who can do casual hookups.
i think he's probably tried but ,, he is just not able to have sex with someone he wasn't romantically interested in.
when he's having sex, it's because he's in it for the long run. i think as a teenager / v young adult he didn't feel so emotional about it, but as he's grown he's begun to view it as extremely intimate.
i also think that he'd be an aftercare GOD. rough or not, slow and sensual or fast and quick, he is always there with praise, good communication and a bath. he'll even carry you if you're sore. (if you're thinking "im too big for that," no, you're not. he's a sorcerer. he's beefy.)
kento probably enjoys rough sex, especially after a hard day of work, but i don't know if he'd want it rough 24/7. sex is intimate for him, a sign of love ;; i think that sometimes he would want it more vanilla.
also he would definitely want to make your first time as special as possible for you; he wouldn't go rough unless you specifically asked and even then he would be hesitant. (plus the best aftercare imaginable.)
by the time you guys would be having frequent sex, kento's in it fully emotionally. he can't do casual sex, he needs some sort of connection stronger than that.
tdlr ; kento cannot do hookups.

welp
i was debating to myself whether i wanted to dive into the manga for bloom into you or just keep an eye out for the next season of the anime, but that anime ending is evil and i dunno if i could wait for like months or however long it would be to get more of the story
(by evil i mean incredibly sweet and charming and leaving so many plot hooks dangling that i can’t help but want to see what comes next)
anyway, i have a lot of feelings about bloom into you - key amongst them being ‘i can’t believe i’m actually watching an anime with a demisexual lesbian protagonist’ (follow below the cut for long rambly thought trains full of spoilers for both bloom into you and strawberry panic - although if you haven’t seen strawberry panic by this point in life there’s probably no reason to)
gods, if this anime had existed a decade ago it would have blown my mind for so many reasons, but i think the scene with maki where he’s imagining himself as sitting in a movie theater, watching other people’s lives? that would have absolutely changed my life, because that’s exactly how i’ve settled into my identity now - i can’t truly rule out the possibility of being sexually or romantically attracted to people, but i so prefer to just be a spectator to other people’s lives and i can’t imagine becoming a part of anything like a love story myself
honestly, the conversation between him and yuu during the sports festival was so emotionally satisfying for me because they’re just two high school kids who don’t personally grok the drive for love that everyone around them seems obsessed with, and they get to connect with each other in that way, and then maki realizes ‘she’s like me, but not exactly’ because he’s aro ace and she’s demisexual and it’s just..... it’s really fucking good and i cannot believe that scene exists in the world and i love it so much
gods
anyway
i love how nanami and saeki embody the crucial differences between ‘useless lesbian’ and ‘baby gay’ (respectively of course), like they are both so great and so dumb, i love them both a lot, especially how saeki’s.... not perfect in her crush? like she gets jealous when nanami’s spending time with yuu and she gets smug when it looks like she’s getting closer to nanami again, she’s just good and i love her
i feel like i’m comparing her to tomoko from cardcaptor sakura and tamao from strawberry panic because that is basically the archetype she’s encompassing - the girl who’s truly in love with her best friend that is in love with someone else - but where tomoko and tamao were generally gracious about not having that relationship, saeki’s feelings are so real, in like bad ways sometimes because that’s what emotions do but also she does truly love nanami and wants nanami’s happiness (it’s just that nobody knows what nanami’s happiness really looks like, especially nanami)
speaking of nanami not knowing happiness, dear gods is this whole play thing just literally her working through her trauma - this is actually where i keep coming back to the strawberry panic comparisons, funnily enough, because in both shows the sempai love interest is dealing with the past death of someone they loved very deeply, and part of the show is them working through that trauma
but like, in strawberry panic it took like a good third of the show to find out that the sempai’s first girlfriend had died, whereas here it was, what, the second or third episode where we learn about her sister’s death? and it’s also not like ‘hey, my sister died and i’m just generically sad about it’, it actually traumatized her and she’s reacting in ways that are honestly really scary (which is part of why i feel like i need to continue the story now because i want her to continue working through what she’s just starting to see now and i want her to be happy, truly happy, whatever that means for her)
it’s really just the slow burn shoujo ai story of my dreams and i’m so happy it exists
other, less substantial thoughts: i fricking love the cafe manager and the teacher so so so so much, they have such a good relationship and it gets demonstrated in just these beautiful small moments that don’t overshadow the students’ stories, and i love how the cafe manager and saeki got to tease each other while nanami was completely oblivious about it, and how riko-sensei is bisexual and the hilarious conversation that’s part of because they love each other and it’s good, so good, love this show, love them
also i love how the cafe manager is like ‘i have adopted this baby gay and i am evidently going to learn all about the high school lesbian drama because they have chosen my cafe as their home away from home.... excellent’ and riko-sensei is just so despairing at how her students are coming to her girlfriend’s cafe all the time now
doujima is hilarious and i appreciate how he has no idea what is happening at any point, token straight boy as comic relief is great
honestly just all the non-main characters are good and fun, i love that yuu has friends outside of the lesbian drama circle she’s falling into, and her family dynamic is just interesting enough to feel real without needing to be the center of attention (and it contrasts so well with nanami’s family situation, where we’ve only seen her with her family twice and yet it’s obviously so tense because of her sister’s death, and they care about her but she sees their care as an attack because she thinks she needs this coping mechanism to have a reason to live and uuuuuggggggghhhhhhhh i love her)
just, man, i’m almost sad that all i’ve seen on tumblr thus far were a couple of scenes with saeki because the show is a thousand times more than the clips i’ve seen (which really says more about the show because those clips were absolutely incredible, it’s just that they’re not even the tip of the iceberg really)
basically bloom into you hits me right in the extremely personal feels and i’m so glad it exists
