Shit, tears welling up again, how do they do it?! Nice chapter, feels like progress and some nice character development just went down.... it was orchestrated so well I thought it might have been last chapter.... thank diabetus it's not! A sweet fluffy chapter is required after all of that

talks to himself: Don't you dare make that joke, just because of that last sentence. It's certainly off-topic, but that's not even the main reason why everyone, including yourself, is gonna be mad at you.

Yes, I want this slow burn to eventually turn sexual too at some point. Just please dear god don't let it be at a molasses pace like Citrus or a Korean Drama.

I don't know, I wouldn't call this a slow burn mostly because it doesn't feel like there's any unnecessary drama or filler. Everything up until this one point has been about establishing a relationship and backstory. But now that all the non-romance plot has been taken care of, let's see how fast things develop from now on.

I just went through this one up to ch12 in one go and honestly ... I love their relationship, but I don't see why you would introduce the yuri angle between them. This is too well written to devolve into the gay version of Usagi Drop, basically. Haru is fucking 14.

I'd much rather it go on in its iyashikei direction and make Haru and Midori a well characterized found family trope and give Haru's classmate (who clearly has the hots for her) a chance.

I can't expect any romantic relationship between haru and midori. I really like these "familiy" interaction anyway. but this is not slice of life, so I don't have any idea what gonna happen

Another one of those chapters where I was so relieved to see "tsuzuku" at the bottom of the page.

Same, that Yuri tag is probs for the fact Midori loved Harus mother. It's too good of a story to worry which route it takes anyway, it all works for me as long as there's some development

Yep, this is a friendship subtext, i sense nothing gay between Midori and Haru

Maybe, Maybe not.Nothing is really certain. I too sense nothing and the schoolmate of Haru is maybe the one who will confess to Haru.

I'm glad she finally acknowledged they're completely different.

This gonna end soon? Seems like it could... though it'd be a bit of a cop out.

I don't know... It feels like it's only starting.

This series is so hard to read without crying :(

Bless Fukaumi Kon. What a wonderful and talented person.

Am I the only one who does see Haruko and Midori as friends, but not lovers?

Like, Midori is constantly grieving about Haruko's mom. I have a feeling that is they went any deeper, Midori would be all like "Your mother wasn't like that", or "Your mother wouldn't do that". Midori would be seeing Tsugumi through Haruko's prism.

I so hope I make sense

This is a pretty common trope, although not necessarily with an age gap--someone starts a relationship with a relative of an ex, or even someone who just looks like the--usually tragically lost--ex.

The traditional resolution is, "I don't love you because you're like her--I love you because you're you."

As I've said, I don't much care how this story resolves as long as it stays as thoughtful and as well-written as it's been. But there's no utility in predictive lamenting.

If anything romantic does develop between Haru and Midori, I'd hope it would be after a time skip. I could see Haru getting mad at Midori not saying what she wants, moving in with her aunt, and then we cut to Haru graduating or something. Distance makes the heart fonder and all that~

yes, you're the only one, which is why a handful posts above you assert the exact same thing.

At this pace, I feel something will be sprouting on these two at chapter 1469, yes I'm certain. Keep it up ...

It bothers me that she's are aware enough to know she's being childish, but not aware of what maturity looks like.

Don't tell your 14 year old, grieving, orphan ward "Don't go" like this is a lovers' spat, tell her that she's welcome to stay and will always have a home with you no matter what she chooses. You know, like a responsible parent.
