Super friends, perhaps? Is that meme still fresh? Eh, who cares. I love this manga.

Great chapter :)

And while it would be nice for them to realise they are a couple and confirm it- or at least confirm they always want to stay together - at this point I kinda agree its not needed. Their comfortable semi romantic / already married couple / best friend thing works for them both even IF they dont name it.

But I was still very happy to see Kasumi kiss her :) I said before she needed to be a little less laid back in the manga for us to see any development from her.

Chapter 53 was glorious.

Also, R.I.P. Sakurako's recordings.

The gaynesd is killing me. AHHHHHHHHHGGGG

When you're eating ice cream with your "best friend"

And then she starts talking to an old acquaintance you never head about before.

What are Y'all talking about? They just explained their relationship and in 53. Like seriously Sakurako spelled out the exact nature of their relationship and the reason the don't label it before having a lie-down on Kasumi. And already resolved to be together forever. It's a frequent event, actually. All bases are covered at this point. All of them. They're in love, They're going to be together forever, they're accepted by each other's family as in-laws, they cuddle often, they kiss often enough tfor it to be casual.They flirt all the time,hold hands, sleep
in the same bed in lingerie. What more do you need?

What's this? A somewhat serious chapter!?
Can't say i saw that coming

It sure is Zarbon in here, and I love it.

The only people reading this manga, especially on this particular website are only here for the gay fluff, nobody is going to be denying their relationship

I completely missed this, thanks for pointing it out.

My heart wasn't ready for that "I'm home" kiss. Kasumi can be so sweet when she wants.

^I absolutely agree with everything you said here, but to answer that last question:

I do think the label holds some significance. It'd make me happy to see "partner who's something like my girlfriend" becomes just plain "girlfriend" (along with the other stuff still intact) before the manga's end. This is not to downplay the love for each other they've demonstrated all throughout the series, but just as kissing is a symbol of romance, so is stating or at least thinking concretely that the person you love is your girlfriend, at least to me.

Chapter 53 pretty much explicitly stated that they're more of a married couple than a literal old married couple.

That moment when Kasumi is looking at Sakurako after greeting her with a kiss. You can just see the love and adoration in her eyes looking at her and it's just nnngh <3

This manga is a masterpiece. There isn't any other way of putting it.

I remember, when I read volume 1, a long time ago, I thought "tee hee, this is some cute fluff" and then pretty much forgot all about it. Because, you see, there were SO MANY other series cut on the same pattern (cute girls doing cute things, with vaguely romantic moments, in a 4koma format) and this one didn't feel strikingly outstanding next to the rest. So I forgot everything about it, even the name. Then, half a year ago, I was browsing through the Dynasty archive and found that there were four volumes out of something called 'A Room For Two' - and started reading.

Then I was like "Oh, I know this! I recall now! I read the first volume a while ago!"

Then I was like "Wow, time goes by in a realistic way, they are in their third year and graduating soon! Does this mean the end of the series? Oh, look, it's not ending, it's going on!"

Then I was like "Hey, what's with these girls? Are they really planning to live together and sleep together for the rest of their lives? Isn't that, like, a lesbian marriage or something?"

Then I was like "OMG they are doing it!! They are really doing it!!!"

Then I was like "Their families approve of their marriage! They talked about having children using IPS cells! They have been a couple for four-five years already, and they love each other more with every passing day! Their every interaction fills me with joy and elation, and it's too much, and I can't even, and asflgbsmflghbflasglb"

Seriously, I don't think any other manga has ever managed the tour de force 'A Room For Two' has successfully executed. We are at 6 volumes and about 5 years into the life of two girls intensely in love, and every development is a positive and uplifting one. No contrived conflicts here: no angst, no spats, no love triangles, no haters, no worries about gayness being wrong or unnatural or whatever, nothing but the simple happiness of loving each other and caring about each other with all their hearts. And it's one of the most exciting reads I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy, with nary a moment that feels tedious or repetitive or lacking in authenticity. Yukiko-sensei must have been blessed at birth by the yuri fairies with the gifts of brilliant storytelling and mastery of narrative pace and virtuosity at character development; there isn't any other explanation for this level of accomplishment. That's what I honestly believe.

I love this manga so much. (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)⌒♡*:･。.

I think the perfect label for them might just be "Significant Other". I'm not sure if there's a direct Japanese term for that though, which may have been why Sakurako was a bit muddled about it all when she was nailing it down to Kasumi. But they are, to one another, the most significant people in their lives.

But for the memey glory of it all.
"NAH, THEYRE JUST LIKE TOTALLY FRIENDS YOU GUYS! NOTHING ROMANTIC/SEXUAL ABOUT IT!"

Am I the only one who thinks what Sakurako described with her labels is "wife"?

What more do you need?

10 whole chapters of scissoring action I guess. For me, I don't they can go higher unless we get like a marriage and honeymoon to Hawaii chapter

Chapter 53.5, page 7: "Didn't you get get a C on that mock exam the other day?"

Am I the only one who thinks what Sakurako described with her labels is "wife"?

No, you are not.

Me: sees a large load of new comments have appeared in the thread
Me: Oh, boy, this can only mean one thing.
10 to 15 seconds of complete silence ensues
Me: A new chapter is out!!!!!!!!!

That's so like Kasumi... out of all those possibilities she'd like to be a pet the most lmao

I was so impressed that Saku actually learned from her past mistakes and hid her creepy recordings. She can now predict Kasumi's moves! Too bad Kasumi still has no idea what personal space is and just took her recordings anyway lol (I do like that this implies that Kasumi really wanted to know more about Saku's music)

The entire conversation with the manager and the end result wrapped it up quite nicely. Kasumi can't explain how she feels about Sakurako well, but ultimately what she feels is just love. Saku only has to be there and she already feels happy. Whenever she is reminded of that she gets affectionate too. It's sweet.

The Kawawa family is scarily lax. Saku and Kakeru might be the only ones with common sense and even then Saku is a pushover...

There's no drama between Sakurako and Kasumi yet their story is still captivating. This manga is so unproblematic and one would think it'd be boring since it's just good times but the sweetness and affection shared between the Sakurako and Kasumi is just so enthralling. Sure, the side characters are there to provide some conflict but their dilemmas are usually resolved within the chapter so there's hardly any reason to fret.

Am I the only one who thinks what Sakurako described with her labels is "wife"?

I honestly think that even 'wife' isn't enough to describe their relationship. They're essentially each other's everything yet at the same time it's not unhealthy because they both bring something to their table.

As cheesy as it sounds maybe soulmate is more appropriate to describe their relationship since it won't be restricted by legalities and the like.

I do think the label holds some significance. It'd make me happy to see "partner who's something like my girlfriend" becomes just plain "girlfriend" (along with the other stuff still intact) before the manga's end.

I know a lot of people want even more profound confirmation but neither Kasumi or Sakurako need it because the two of them are secure with what they've found with each other. Besides, their personalities are hardly conventional so naturally they won't behave like a typical couple or follow the expected steps in a relationship.

It's hard to argue personal space when your girlfriend low key stalks you for a hoard of pictures/recordings and anything else she can add to her "goddess" collection. As you once said before, she lets almost everything pass as long as it doesn't put her on a weird worship status.
