i am going to talk about this scene so people know what i mean when i say usogui is textually gay. bakuhal could be its own post & kajibaku itself has more elements to it (the great breasts mission + baku winning kaji back in a gamble therefor "owning" him/his life) but ok so

this scene will be familiar to those who read shoujo. its a love confession during fireworks that obscure the actual love confession part of it. you can google it if u dont know the trope ill only expand on the context in usogui

so here were taking a break from life or death gambles on this island, gamble that happens as a long 20+ days marathon but is in itself on a very tight schedule. kaji has just won the spear vs shield gamble- meaning his character arc has concluded and he is now injured and cant significantly help baku in his gambles anymore BUT he has taken a stand to be his own person & step out of bakus shadow to instead stand as his equal. this is what that internal monologue looks like

(the "to please you" sentiment is not necessarily gay its tied to his issues w his mom but its not-NOT gay either. also notice his fingers in bakus mouth LOL)

so what does he do now that he considers himself bakus equal? well he gets sexual release then attends the festival w the gang. & at the end of the day after fun group antics at the festival (a tropey date spot!) this is his internal monologue, directed at baku himself. "Hey, Baku-san, I..." [fireworks obscure the end of his thought]. we do not get to hear it on the next page either its just left hanging there. this is the epilogue to kajis character arc, the thing that crowns it before he takes a backseat in the story. it is not a throway line. what else is there to read here than that thought is akin to a love confession- if not one outright? why invoke this romantic trope here otherwise?

(uhm also the sex kaji mentions is a blowjob & baku has a eating/mouth motif thats present in the "i will stand as bakus equal" page but thats a bit too analytical of motifs & symbols for this post. he did not literally have sex w baku here)

i have to stress this scene is using a shoujo trope as-is and concludes over 300 chapters of baku calling him kaji-chan/nicknames and being physically affectionate AND the aformentionned gamble w kaji as the wager and the great breast mission thing... whether intentional or not! kaji and bakus relationship is homoerotic at its core

Decided to make some fanart because the final translated chapter came out today! It’s exciting but sad at the same time...

I felt like these four pictures represented the four over-the-top usogui boys (Baku, Vincent, Hal, Richard), haha.

Thx usogui for giving me so many good gays
