That type of behaviour could land Sawako in jail. Or get her suspended, at least.

Its Japan. No school would make something like that public.

I honestly don't get why America is so sensitive towards this sort of thing. It's not like she was actually molesting them or anything. Hell, they were bathing together even.

Yes! Yes she can! This is part of the brilliance of MioRitsu and why I love the couple so much. They are so wonderful for each other.

(rambling fangirl rant)
Mio is a scaredy-cat. She wants to experience new things - she enjoys them once she's started them! - but she's too scared to take that first step. Ritsu knows this, and Ritsu is the one who can always coax her out of her comfort zone... often by dragging her along for the ride with her.

Once Mio is settled, she's the hard line that keeps everyone else in check. She's the one that complains about them not practicing as much as they should or getting distracted by this or that. It's particularly important that she keeps Ritsu from getting distracted by her next big idea, too.

Ritsu always helps Mio feel comfortable when she's out of her comfort zone. She acts like a total dork, gets a rise out of Mio and makes her whack her. Or else she's so crazy that Mio has to take the "straight man" position and drag her into line. While Ritsu is for sure a bit of a leap-before-you-look, both-feet-in-mouth type, you do see in some episodes how she bothers Mio specifically to get her to become more comfortable, distracting her from the scary parts of a new situation. Mio can focus not on what scares her, but instead on the fact that Ritsu is being a total idiot.

And we all know Ritsu isn't all about the craziness. She's not a total derp like Yui. Just look at the "love letter" episode. I think she swallows a lot of her own sensitivity for various reasons... and I think part of that is because she has to be full of confidence to cover for both Mio and herself. If Ritsu was insecure, no way would Mio go along with her. And besides, she's got a reputation to uphold. ^_^

tl;dr, Mio is the anchor for Ritsu's wild side - but Ritsu is the one who drags Mio into the unknown. They balance each other perfectly. And that's what makes their relationship so great.

That was definitely a cute story and a good read.

Honestly I didn't really get the impression that they went and had sex, they seemed to be more interested in having some time to snuggle and kiss and chat about feelings. I guess it is possible though...

Pulls head out of the gutter
Ahh of course. That's exactly what should happen. Headcanon accepted.

Thanks for your hard work, by the way~

yeah sure..maybe at the beginning but you know...one thing leads to another and ....

Yes but they're children! Babies even!

Well... they're High School students and Mio for example at one point in the series was 18, and it isn't like 18 is a weird age for people to have sex for the first time. In fact the average age for both males and females to lose their virginity in Japan is 18. Azu is in the story so Mio could be 16 - 18 which again isn't unheard of.

They probably kissed a lot and then talked the rest of the night, That said, from a writing perspective, why mention they were up all night if all they did was talk?

On the topic of whether they had sex or not, one thing I didn't really pay attention to before is the fact that they've been awake all that time. From when they saw Yui and Azusa hugging and the confession took place to when they encountered the pair again at just after 5am, they were in bed together, but apparently not sleeping as Ritsu suggests they get some sleep.
