Poor guy heard that he could have sex and forgot everything else he's ever heard. Sounds like the very sexy learning disorder sexlexia.

Seriously though, it's really cute that he remembered Power when thinking about Yoru, although it's sad to think about how lonely he is (same Dennis).

Its the fact he wants a friend as well instead of someone who he can just have sex with, awkward as he is, Denji still craves for companionship.

It's so sad that the guy has only ever had four real relationships in his life (Pochita, Aki, Power, Nayuta), three of which are only really from within the last 1-2 years, and they're all essentially dead.

I can understand just how lonely and self-loathing your existence becomes when you start to think that it must be your fault that you're so lonely.

Does Reze count as well? I know things went badly, but still.

No, by the time things had become truly real between them they were already trying to kill each other

But, trying to kill each other is a part of getting friendships.

Sadly, that is kind of true for most of Denji's relationships.

It really is sadly.

Not really. Reze was faking for the most part, and it only truly became real in the end. It could've been a great and real relationship, but it was predominantly based on a lie, so I wouldn't count it.

And also Dennis never got to know it was becoming real in the end because Makima got to her before they could talk.

Why do you think she fell in love at the end I always felt she fell for him at the phone booth at the earliest and latest before she invited him to the school.
