like ohhh from the first chapter sasaki like. oh christ The very beginning like he thinks miyano’s cute and has a surface level crush on him this is the story premise like we all know. but what’s notable in particular is that he’s giving miyano his thoughts, his review, on the first ever manga he was leant, and miyano’s looking at him in like. awe! transparent as hell about it! and there’s this closeup on sasaki’s eyes where he looks a little surprised and opened up. and it’s like. When was the last time he ever connected with someone over something like this. and then he keeps going with his review! because he really took this seriously! and miyano is trembling with excitement he’s trembling with it he lights up with it and sasaki’s a little taken aback proper here but it’s as miyano’s going on about it that you really have to wonder, When was the last time he saw a passion like this? but really that’s sort of dwarfed in comparison to the following pages where you can practically hear pieces clicking on, rapid succession, in sasaki’s head. you can see it on him. He’s really cute… “…Yeah. Hey, Myaa-chan? Loan me another?” guy who is just. in it, now. guy who is so In It.
