Really nice to see Kurumi getting along with Ruri's parents so well. I'm interested to see if the author goes down a "traditional" romance path or tries something different, along the lines of "there are many ways to have a relationship", where they are part family, part friends, part lovers.

Taking Crescent Moon into consideration as well, it really seems like Usui Shio is very interested in the question of what defines a romantic relationship, as her characters seem to be constantly questioning and negotiating their position in the greyzone between friendship and romantic love. I really hope the eventual conclusions of both stories will be good, because in the end, they will sort of need to find a definition that works for them, but that also gives the reader a satisfying end to the story. Pull this off well and it becomes a truly great and thought-provoking story, but it can easily be confusing or feel half-baked too.

In a sense, "classic" romance would be much easier to write, so I'm both excited and a bit scared to see how this goes on. Fingers crossed that she'll continue to deliver quality work

So futaribeya but with actual sex scenes eventually?

In all seriousness I do think that it could go either way between traditional falling in love and the unlabeled grey zone, and I’d love it either way. (And no offense meant to futaribeya, I like that series a lot too).

Omg. Is this the first yuri manga actually showing fully supportive parents? This is so cute and wholesome. And Ruriko is so smooth for saying those lines!

Cool

Not only do the parents not have a problem with their marriage, they get much better along with their daughter in law than their actual daughter. :D

This really makes me see how lucky I am that my parents are always totally cool from the get-go with everything I do. Coming out in my late teens and having my first ''official'' girlfriend was already so nerve-racking , I can't imagine how hard it must be if your parents aren't on your side (^^) I hope Ruri realises how lucky she is as well.

I guess this is a natural result when they've known the daughter-in-law for years, as opposed to the daughter-in-law being a stranger.

It also reminds me of I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying, in which Kyoko (Hajime's mother) gets along well with her daughter-in-law Kaoru, but becomes comically furious when nagging Hajime about not having a job.

Talking about food and that very informative credit page...what would japanese people think about milk with rice?, is a very common dessert/beverage here in Mexico, but sometimes i think that seems an odd combination, most of the times i am drinking it along with tamales :)

Milk with rice is heresy to most Japanese. I know one Japanese person who loves it and a number who think it is absolutely disgusting :D

Milk with rice and sugar, as I know it, is a very common, well-loved dessert. Arroz con leche. There's even a popular nursery rhyme:

♪ Arroz con leche, me quiero casar
Con una señorita de la capital... ♫

It's just rice pudding right? Which is just sweet rice porridge. I know rice porridge is pretty popular in East Asia, but dunno if they have sweet versions...

We usually made it as a sort of congee. You know congee is rice boiled in water? To make arroz con leche, you boil rice in milk. Then, in a separate bowl, you mix sugar and grated lemon peel with an egg yolk or two, and you add it to the pot with the rice and the milk and you keep cooking it a few minutes more. You'll have to cool it before serving it, because it's supposed to be a cold dessert.

I'm not sure if this is the recipe Nene was thinking about, tho... I know different places in South America have different versions of this dish.

In a world where same-sex marriage has been legal there for years? I don't see why not. After all, for the law to change, the generation in power had to change to a more accepting one as well.

Can personally vouch for one Asian parent not really caring about it. Of course some Asian parents will be accepting or tolerant of it, they're just a minority (well, depending on the country, etc.). Don't think this story is realistic otherwise but eh, still had to say it.

There are plenty of Asian parents out there that are okay with it today. "Asian parents" aren't a hive mind
