Ritsuka: I'm home. Mafuyu? Are you there? Hey, if you’re around, make sure you reply on LINE, okay?”

Mafuyu: Welcome home. Sorry, I am drunk and dinner's not yet ready.

Uenoyama-kun?

"I'm glad I found you." "Thank you for finding

Haruki's Disappearance

Before Akihiko moved to Osaka, Haruki once disappeared for a short while, and when he came back, Akihiko suddenly had a ring on his ring finger. He and Akihiko keep the promise that whenever Akihiko returns to Tokyo, they will "always meet at the station.

Apparently it is hinted in the character profile that Haruki and Akihiko had a fight or something. That cause Haruki to disappear and when he came back Akihiko had a ring (to compensate whatever they were fighting about).

As you can see Haruki is NOT happy when Akihiko said they are married but living apart.

Haruki once brings up if he should wear a ring too which obviously he wants to.

Haruki also brings up that Yatake family has a spacious house hinting he wants to settle with Akihiko but he brushes it off.

Haruki has to ask permission to Akihiko to stay in his Osaka apartment. (Hinting he wants Akihiko to invite him.)

Akihiko for some reason has to bring up that he doesn't have an extra futon when it is obvious that Haruki wants to sleep in one bed with Akihiko.

Haruki has been hinting Akihiko that he wants to settle. Haruki has been patient with Akihiko. He's also missing Akihiko a lot. 😭😭😭

I am smelling a sequel/spin-off here. I want to know what happened to that "disappear" part of Haruki.

From previous post, I discussed the theory about a possible love triangle between Ugetsu Murata, Shogo Itaya, and Ryo Ueki.

To give you some background, Ueki and Itaya were best friends in high school along with Ritsuka Uenoyama. Ueki and Itaya show a very close relationship.

First, let me introduce you to Akiha Niitsu and Yahiko Tsubame from Links by Kizu Natsuki.

The theory here is that Akiha’s counterpart in Given is Ugetsu, while Yahiko could be Shogo Itaya. Similarly, Aoi represents Ritsuka, Yuusei represents Mafuyu, Takaaki corresponds to Akihiko, and Shinobu corresponds to Haruki — due to the obvious similarities in their art styles and personalities.

Akiha is a pianist, while Ugetsu is a violinist.

Akiha and Yahiko are friends with benefits.

Both Yahiko and Shogo are younger than Akiha and Ugetsu.

Ugetsu and Shogo Itaya are possibly in a similar relationship. Both live in London. Shogo even posted a picture of himself with Ugetsu on Instagram — and we all know how Kizu Natsuki loves to drop hints. Not only that, but she also reuses a lot of scenes and plots from her previous works.

Please see character profile here from Given 10th Mix.

Aoi X Yuusei parallel to Ritsuka X Mafuyu

Theory/Prediction: Ugetsu and Shogo are the fourth couple and eventually the two of them will date for real. Assuming Kizu Natsuki will reuse their counterparts.

(Note: These are all theories/predictions and not yet canon.)
