I do not think Kochan is homosexual. A disgust for women in masculine roles is only masculine and a disinterest in women also signifies that he has more important goals for himself. A love for muscles is a love for dedication and masculinity. All people claiming Kochan and thereby Kimitake as homo-erotic are wrong and defiled by modernity. Their insecurities about their bodies shine through when they critique the body-builder for his self-love.

I'm only on chapter one and I'm lost. i have to assume the version i downloaded is fucked because i cant follow this at all.
>Printed in primary colors, the illustration showed the prince dressed in black tights and a rose-colored tunic with spun-gold embroidery on the breast. A dark-blue cape that flashed a scarlet lining was flung about his shoulders, and around his waist there was a green and clear-cut agony, not fuzzy remorse; it was like being forced to look down from a window at a reflection of fierce summer sunlight that is dividing the street into a glaring contrast of sun and shadow.

>One cloudy afternoon during the rainy season I happened to be walking through Azabu on an errand. This was a section of the city I had seldom been in. Suddenly, from behind me, someone called my name. It was Sonoko. Upon looking around and catching sight of her I was not as surprised as I had been that time on the streetcar when I had mistaken another girl for her. To me this chance encounter seemed perfectly natural, as though I had foreseen it all along. I felt as though I had known everything about this instant since long before.

>She was wearing a simple dress, with a flower pattern like that of chic wallpaper, and no ornament other than some lace at the V of the neck; there was nothing about her to proclaim that she was now a married woman. She was probably returning from drawing rations as she was carrying a bucket and was also followed by an old servant woman carrying another bucket. She sent the woman on home and walked along talking with me.

>"You've become a little thin, haven't you?"

>"Ah, thanks to studying for the exams."

>"So? Please take care of your health."

>Then we fell silent for a time. Soft sunlight began gold belt. He was equipped with a helmet of green gold, a bright-red sword, and a quiver of green leather. His left hand, gloved in white leather, grasped a bow; his right hand rested upon the branch of one of the ancient trees of the forest; and with a grave, commanding countenance he was looking down the terrifying throat of the raging dragon that was about to set upon him. On his face was the resolve of death. If this prince had been destined to be a conqueror in his engagement with the dragon, how faint would have been his fascination for me. But fortunately the prince was destined to die.

Not only does it cut away to describe a completely different event in the cut away it refers to a previous event which has not occurred yet. the cut back seems to happen mid sentence. I've read a few other stories by Mishima and cant remember being jerked around like this

What are some books which are relatable or, preferably, may serve as a resource to someone finding out they're a homosexual? I want to better myself and stop self loathing.
