GOD SHE REJECTS THEM FOR HER
AND NOW THEY'LL BE ADULT ROOMATES
FIRST NIGHT WHEN

Enjoyable as always

Can’t believe Kasumi and Sakurako graduated before I did

Crazy how I graduated the same year as them and I've been reading them since I graduated high school lol

There's something oddly surreal about how I started reading this in highschool back when they were highschoolers and now I'm a full time worker post-college and seeing them graduate from college. I felt time moved fast in thisd manga, but really time moved fast around me too.

I can say the same. This and virgins empire are the two mangas that I have been following since high school. In part I feel they grew up with me.

Sakurako just didn't have enough confidence in herself.
At that point in the story they have been sleeping together for a long time but they still are kids in school -- and you know how graduation is the time when you turn into an adult and are expected to change your life: stop playing around, accept grown-up responsibilities, ditch your school lesbian sweetheart, find a man, marry him, have his babies, etc. etc.

It's not at all unreasonable for Sakurako to think that an amazing beauty like Kasumi isn't exactly serious about her, and would rather be just friends from then on and go find herself a millionaire husband in the future.

Sakurako's lines at the end can be read as: "Hey, you really mean what you said? You don't want to be the trophy wife of a wealthy sports star or something? You chose me instead? Like, for realsies? I'm not dreaming?"

Heck, you've seen how, years later, she still has trouble believing the Kasumi at her side is real...

Haha, that was graduation from high school, she was young and insecure... but this time it's college graduation and she's got her act together! Even though some cool dudes hit on Kasumi, she didn't bat an eyelid! She knows Kasumi is her sweetheart, hers alone.

It may be me not reading attentively enough, but I'm yet to actually see the yapping crowd comment on this chapter. I see us commenting what we assume they'd comment, but that's pretty much it.

I kinda lowkey want Sakurako NTR arc just because people's reactions would be completely hilarious, even though it would make no narrative sense whatsoever

Except it does, but you conveniently ignored it every time it was brought up to you. You keep coming to this thread saying the same things and when people give you proofs you're wrong, you either ignore it or disappear and then are surprised that people recognize you in different threads, when you did this shit already on like 3 separate occasions.

No, it doesnt. After all these years there hasn't been one single romantic kiss between the two main characters. Literally zero. They had "candy sharing" very early and a cheek kiss. Are those low bars your standard for a romantic kiss?

Look, did either of them say "no homo?" They didn't, therefore it's totally gay.

I see you have reached the stage where you enjoy the hysterical reactions of angry moral censors almost as much as the actual manga.

That's pretty high level. Kinda like a master degree in forum appreciation. Kudos!

Doesn't this manga actually progress according to real life seasons and time? I have the exact same experience, and it's pretty nostalgic to think back to it. We grew up with them, so it's a little bittersweet to watch them grow up and continue through their life together, meeting new people, seeing others less, etc.

Apparently this series started being uploaded here while I was in 8th grade, and I started reading it some 4 years later, sometime during my 3rd year of high school, and now, 3 years later than that, I'm in 2nd year of uni. So for me, they actually grew faster than me, especially in the beginning. That's kinda what happens when you get into a series relatively late and during a period where the scanlators are rushing to catch up with the raw release too.

College graduation oh my, and Kasumi saying someone else is waiting for her I see you girl.

Man what can I really say about this series that hasn’t already been said. I only got into it fairly recently(early 2020 lockdown) but even binging a good chunk of the series, how it handles mother time is both refreshing and somewhat bitter sweet. It’s a nice change of pace to actually let significant time pass in a series, and getting to go on a much broader life journey with these characters is great, and seeing them take life in stride and succeed is so inspiring(I wish I accomplished half of what they have in this amount of time) but it’s also a bittersweet reminder that time just goes by so fast lol. Anyone on the younger side who reads this, enjoying the now, because one day you’ll blink and be old and wished you made better memories.

I can somewhat understand people’s frustrations with Kasumi and Sakurako not taking things to another level or whatever, but at the same time it’s been pretty clear for a while that was never gonna happen. It’s so unique to see two people just able to vibe with each other and not care about labels or anything beyond that. They’ve basically been experiencing the end goals of a more traditional relationship for years now, so I’d imagine that also makes superficial stuff like labels pretty irrelevant in their world.

But at the same time, the supporting cast and how they’ve developed is so nice to see happen that it would be great to also see play out for our two leads, even though it’s not needed.

Although I do find the idea they’ve probably never had sex in this 8 years or so pretty wild lol. Not that it’s the end goal or particularly weird as a concept, but neither one of them come off as actually being asexual. But even if it was confirmed they have done that or even out right shown it wouldn’t really change much in terms of actual writing, it would feel more like something for the readers.

Very wholesome series, excited to see their next home and how they adjust to the next chapter of their lives.

Huh. On Dynasty at least, Chapter 1 came out May 2015, and Japanese school year starts in April, plus translation time. Latest chapters hit in October 2021... which seems an odd time for graduation. 6-6.5 real years. High school is 3 years... college college would be 4 years, but wiki says professional school is 2-3 years, and I'm not sure what the girls were doing. So yeah, could be real-time-ish.

So we get to follow them on to their working lives as a couple that doesn't say they're a couple but everyone thinks they are...

The volume 1 imprint says publication started in September 2014. In 2017 they graduated from high school after three years and in 2021 they graduated college after four years. Looks like it’s pretty much exactly real time, though maybe offset about half a year.

First night when
Imagine all of the steamy passionate things they can get up to in their own little private space alone
Probably gonna have to wait several more years for that to happen though

Intimate things like watching each other on the toilet

My sister has a small hydroponic system in her apartment. She also grows lettuce in it...

and here we go the next chapter of their life together. It's amazing really because most of these kinds of stories stop with high school but at this rate we're going to see these two together for the entire rest of their lives haha

Can't wait for the marriage arc if Japan legalises it before the series ends.

Intimate things like watching each other on the toilet

Yeah, that's normal.

Honestly, couple goals

Taking up hydroponic gardening just for ur gf is true devotion right there

All those jokes about Sakurako being the one to carry the child are getting close and closer to being reality lol. In like two more years a chapters gonna open with “Kasumi let’s go go look at sperm donors!” “Do we have to? -___-“

As if Sakurako would let anyone who isn't Kasumi get her pregnant xD She's gonna perfect and realize ips cell technology on her own by sheer force of will just to have biological children with Kasumi at this rate~
