"it's dark, no one will see us" -- "our relationship is a secret from everyone"
Jeeeesus... Thank god I don't live like that anymore.
Every chapter is emotionally "hard" to read, the feeling I get every time is that they are living in a prison. It's sad. Seriously, I can't enjoy this :( I really feel bad for them!

I kinda get the feeling this story is going to be driven (in the end) by the conflict of coming out rather than either the usual gay angst or traditional love story conflict like love triangles or just the dance of getting closer. Nanoha's sister knows but with their friends they are finding it harder and harder to conceal their relationship as it develops. Somewhere or somehow it will come out.

That's not to say I think their friends or family will be against it necessarily.

Keep in mind that we, the readers, have seen a side of their friends that the MCs haven't. To Nanoha and Chidori, the impression of their friends' reactions is driven largely by them wanting to make fun of another couple. I think their friends would be upset at them for keeping it secret, and also feel bad for making them feel they had to.

On the other hand, the way some couples end up distancing themselves from their circle of friends once they pair up, I'm kind of glad to see the group of them still hanging out and doing stuff together.

I think they're mainly hiding it because they're so easily embarrassed. They can barely suppress their blushing from indirect kissing, there's no way they'd be able to handle whatever playful teasing they'd be subjected too (and their friends would certainly tease them, that's just what high school students do when they find out their buddy's got a new girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever).

But also there's probably an element of them being unwilling to disrupt the status quo. Whether they like it or not, it would probably change the dynamic of their friend group.

Kovachi teasing us with this married life that we're never going to get to see-

Though yeah, I'm not really sure where I stand on the whole coming out to the friends bit. On one hand, I think they'd be accepting of them (maybe even a bit annoyed they didn't say anything sooner) but I'm also a little bit afraid the dynamic between them would change too much. They seem like such a good group of friends I don't want to see them drift apart over this. It's honestly almost inevitably gonna happen at this rate anyway cause of the fact that their relationship is just progressing to the point they won't be able to hide it away, but I just hope things will go well when it happens.

No way in Hell their friends don't at the very least suspect something is up with these awkward dorks but they're clearly too nice to start prying into what are obviously private matters...

Uh-oh... you're right. I have no idea why I translated かぼちゃ as cabbage. It's definitely pumpkin. It doesn't even look like a cabbage. It says pumpkin on the menu too.

What is this abomination! BOILED spinach? Do you hate flavor?!

I was reading for the cuteness (as usual) first time through and missed the visual, but I did think, “Who has trouble cutting cabbage, and why would microwaving it help?”

Every chapter I think I couldn’t adore these two any more than I already do, and every new chapter proves me wrong.

Remember girls, it's important to learn how to cook, so you can make delicious meals for your man. (Or your tomboy girlfriend, if you swing that way.)

Cooking for just yourself is also important as well. Lol

I can only make pancakes.... VERY GOOD but only pancakes

You know, I know it's not that kind of manga, but you could take the title "Their Heat" really wrong.

I'm also not too good at cooking. lol

Another idiot couple is reborn~

I also came to comment about the cabbage/kabocha thing. Cutting those will make you take a finger off for real if you don't know what you're doing, haha.

The blush factor was super strong in this one. I've been re-energized for a month.

Adorableeeee

As always

When you're so gay even your food overheats.

That gay panicking in the end got me!
