ITS HEREEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAA *more incoherent screaming and squealing*
Did you time for this chapter to be released on Christmas?? If so that is GENIUS
Thank you for writing such a cute Christmas scene, it warmed my stoic heart 🥰🥰🥰 because Christmas in Japan sucks (in my jaded opinion). It’s like a second Valentine’s Day event, it’s mostly centered around couples. So Akari and Jun going on a date on Christmas makes perfect sense! But meeting his family on Christmas Eve would be a rare occurance (that is not to say it wouldn’t happen at all! I don’t intend to generalize) but instead - most Japanese people spend New years at their parents house. It’s like reversing Christmas and NY traditions for us in the west.
All this to say you don’t have to change anything about your story since it’s yours, but just to give you an impression how the end of the year feels here in Tokyo at least.
