It's obvious Mika is gay But How do we know Yuu is gay Or even likes Mika that way ???
LOL, if anything, sometimes I think Yuu is gayer, and I’m not only saying this because he didn’t react after seeing two girls almost-naked.
1. He’s the one who starts most of the physical contact now and he doesn’t seem mind the closeness with Mika at all, pulling him even closer most of the time. He doesn’t do this with the rest of his family.
In the official art:
In the manga:
In the ANIME:
When you realize they just reunited and there are already so many pictures of them like this…
2. He blushed in 3 out of 4 the family events with Mika, which is more than what we can say about the family events with the squad.
3. Did you notice the way his personality, behavior and goals in general changed after finding Mika? To the point that even Shinoa said he matured? And that he went from “I DON’T NEED FRIENDS” and being a very sad and lonely to a super happy and a walking sunshine 24/7? Which only got worse when he finally reunited with Mika? A huge part of his character development was because of Mika.If I tried to add a panel I would have to post the whole manga after chapter 15.
4. Do you realize demons always use Mika’s form in an attempt to make Yuu succumb? Even after he found a new family? And that it’s exactly because he knows Mika and because Mika gives him strength that he overcomes everything?
5. When Mika hugs him and bites him he makes the very same expression Shinoa did when he told her “we’re family, right?” and wasn’t that supposed to be because she’s in love with him?
6. He said he was glad he kept living because he got to meet Mika again.
Actually, in the dub, he said exactly that. It’s not even up for interpretations.
7. Mika is the only one he has mutual romantic interactions with, where both of them are devoted to each other, be it when they’re apart or together, and both the physical contact, worrisome and, well, their relationship in general shows that they understand each other without as much as a glance and he reacts instantly to Mika’s smallest show of sadness or negative feelings in general(to the point that he tried to carry him to the hospital for just staggering) and he responds positively to any physical closeness with Mika, starting them himself or pulling him closer.
8. He is the one who asked Mika to raise children together in the game, he is the one who openly stated he kept living thanks to him, he is the one who told Mika to keep living for his sake, he is the one who said he didn’t notice Ferid, the person who killed his whole family, the one who he swore revenge against, and why? Because he was looking at Mika. Also his body language is so…
He looks a little… sheepish? It reminds me to typical anime scenes where the MC does something with his love interest that makes the situation embarrassing(Example? When Chat Noir held Ladybug’s hand)
9. This scene is so underrated but:
To think that she asks him if there’s “something in this ruined world that you must look at not matter what” and his answer is where Mika is… that’s very romantic, if you ask me.
And it’s funny that those interactions Yuu had with the girls (Mitsuba too) where they even showed interest in him, he didn’t notice because he was thinking about saving Mika.
10. Can we talk about how he forgets about his “goal” to kill vampires, for Mika?
We’re talking about the vampire queen here.
And to think that Mika’s been drinking his and only his blood the past 3 months, being implied that it was directly from him, and after all those years of Yuu loathing the fact that he had to give his blood to vampires in Sanguinem… and he doesn’t mind it one bit now.
11.
Someone please explain to him why this is not okay
12. He just doesn’t seem to mind anything in general if it’s for Mika.
13. Also, to the people that state this isn’t true because he didn’t run away with him at Shinjuku, daily reminder that Shinoa squad + Guren were in danger, while Mika wasn’t and, thanks to episode 24 of the anime, we get to see what happens when he’s really put in a situation where all the members of his family are in danger.
He saves all of them literally stabbing himself in order to do so, and after having that conversation with Mika where the latter tells him to go and escape with the squad. That is how far they’re willing to go for the other’s sake.
14. Reminder that the scene where they intertwine fingers together happened in Yuu’s head, was what gave him the strength to overcome Asuramaru’s nightmare, and it’s considered a romantic trope.
Not only that, but that scene in serapuchi was like this…:
15. The way he longed to be with Mika and how much he missed him… not that it couldn’t be platonic, but it’s just so heart-wrenching.
16. The way he says Mika’s name, the way he talks to him in general is always with a different tone compared to the way he talks to other people. It’s very sweet and caring most of the time. You can see it in the game, where they can talk calmly and we get to watch them interacting more.
God, Yuu proves how much he loves Mika more and more each chapter. He is always paying attention to Mika. It’s not only the other way around.
