Go for it nakamura posting go

Now that i think about it... nakamura and hirose are kinda like two sides of the same coin

Let me elaborate to the 2 people that know this series

----

I'd say it's a bit obvious that go for it nakamura revolves a lot about the struggles of blending in society in a collectivist country like japan the protagonist is literally a closetted gay boy that frankly has a lot of neurodivergent traits

a struggle of wanting to be included and accepted by others, while also wanting to be yourself, its interesting that both naka and hiro are struggling to balance this in their own ways

I'll start with the obvious one, with nakamura

he tries his hardest to fit in, with this showing through his rather ordinary and unassuming appearance. he's prim and proper, but it ends up backfiring because he ends up looking too normal that people pay no attention to him.

it should also be commented that he's commonly seen as scary/weird by his classmates

i may be reaching but he probably looks too normal to the point it reaches an uncanny valley, aside from his bangs there is almost nothing about him that shows an inviting personality

added with his timid personality and you have a guy that doesnt really know how to make friends

despite his personality being so? loud?? he does not try to show it and he ends up being such a loner

----

and theeeeen there's hirose

he strikes me as the guy that everyone knows, but does anyone really truly know him?

there's not really a lot of stuff revealled about him aside from the last chapter of the first book but you can tell that a lot of people like him

he's friendly, hes cute looking, and sometimes isnt afraid to speak his mind! you wouldn't think he would also be hiding some sort of internal conflict about himself.

but interestingly, he does too good a job of fitting in with everyone, that he struggles to speak for himself despite the front he puts up, especially when its about something that might be against what his friends wants.

sorry the bad wording there my brains a bit jumbled

but both nakamura and hirose have a hard time being themselves, they both favor the interest of other people and fitting in, despite the obvious differences in their reputation they share the same struggles

----- last part i swear

i wish this was played more upon in the second book cuz this shared struggle was what made them get closer in the ending of the first book

its so amusing looking at the older doujins of naka and hiro and seeing them just acting like themselves because they trust each other and arent worried about being judged

too lazy to translate this rn but basically nakamura's explaining how to use chopsticks and hirose is ignoring everything and its pissing nakamura off
