"I finally understand. I haven't gone nuts. I've simply fallen in love for good."
Girl, you're JUST figuring that out? Aren't you supposed to be really smart?
You can be intelligent and be really stupid at the same time, yes! Also, her kind of intelligence has to do more with logic and stuff more than emotions, perhaps.
You know, Shiramine doesn't look too confused on page 30, not even surprised -- more like saddened, and a little bit frustrated that it took Kurosawa so long to realize her feelings. It makes me think that unlike her, Shiramine has long understood and made peace with her feelings, and has been only waiting for Kurosawa to make the first move in some way.
Or I may be reading too deeply into this...
I'd say that Shiramine's just upset that Yurine is just having her way? I don't know if Shiramine is aware of her feelings, though. What's the idea about Tsundere? Are they aware of their feelings and jsut too damn proud to admit them or are they so far in denial that they don't even acknowledge their feelings deep inside?
I'm honestly a bit confused too… She's been saying "I love you" as a morning greeting to Ayaka for 36 chaps, so why can she no longer say it now?
The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that this is time it would actually be real/serious. Before, even if it looked like Yurine was attached to Shiramine, perhaps she was fooling around the only one whom she could acknowledge as a friend. But now she has fallen for her for good, that's what her reaction in chapter 35 and her inner thoughts meant, after all.
Or what the two fellows above me already said.
