The love triangle between Uesugi brothers and Asakura Minami

While both Uesugi brothers, Uesugi Tatsuya and Uesugi Kazuya were both in love with Asakura Minami, everyone was cheering for Uesugi Kazuya to be with Asagura Minami, not Uesugi Tatsuya. Uesugi Kazuya was aware of his brother's feeling towards Asagura Minami but refused to let him have her. Uesugi Kazuya may have even sensed that his love, Asakura Minami was also in love with his brother. But, he was determined to win the heart of Asakura Minami and make her his.

It is not uncommon for Adachi Mitsuru to write about a love triangle, a love story between people who had to keep their love a secret. In I love Miyuki, Wakamatsu Miyuki and her brother (who was not really her brother), Wakamatsu Masato, had to keep their love to themselves because everyone thought there were siblings. In Touch, both Asagura Minami and Uesugi Tatsuya kissed and then kept how they felt to themselves for the 'greater' good.
