What a wonderful dream. ^_^

Science babies arc??? Though I know Futaribeya is too grounded for that... probably.

Pretty sure Sakurako has already mentioned this possibility a long time ago.

Oh yeah I remember, that was like... vol 3 or something... But at this point I'm honestly scared to find out what Kasumi would be like as a parent. Though as usual I guess Sakurako would balance it out by being perfect at everything.

Sakurakos been living with her baby for the last 10 years

lol yep

This feels very ace/aro spec to me. “What’s the difference between dating and not dating?” is definitely the kind of question ace aro people struggle with. (Source: personal experience).

I’m not trying to apply labels to their relationship, just saying it’s relatable.

No as an aroace myself I can't totally relate to this :)

You guys are overthinking it, I said it was bland, boring and a waste of time of as a manga. From my point of view it gave nothing and accomplished nothing. And I actually enjoyed Miss Sunflower because it is not bland, not boring and not a waste of time. The main characters in futaribeya to me make no progression, themselves and their relationship is the same at the end of volume one up to the final volume, which is a loving best friendship. Another work that I dropped because of this reason is Hana ni Arashi in which they are dating, kiss and all that, but nothing has happened recently, I'm not talking about sex here, just their lives as human beings; they are exactly the same as chapter one.

If you wonder why did I finish, it was out of habit, because I also started reading it years ago. And I leave a comment saying what I think because it took it so many years to do nothing in the end.

If you like it and think I'm a idiot that's fine, I won't miss anything never reading another manga like this.

That's a lot of words used just to say the manga didn't do what you wanted, but okay.

At this point you are just hurting yourselves on purpose then make us bare with your complaint.

I think the first couple doesn't work out, right?

re: special number 2. So, Seri and Shuoko have the exact same relationship problems as Sakurako and Kasumi. “If I try to put a label on it, it might ruin what we have.” How many different carbon-copy sexually ambivalent same-sex couples can the author write into one manga? It’s basically useless lesbian Invasion of the Body Snatchers at this point.

Wait. Shouko and Seri not dating? What. I always thought they already dating

Same, I thought we had a special way back making it clear they were actually dating. Oo

Rich parents' rich friends trying to get their daughter (Seri) to be a sugar baby... O_O

This might say something about the author's insecurities...

it's jover

I thought they were making a thematic point with different contrasting relationships

we're bidone

Christmas with the daughter. ^_^

Seri's relationship insecurity feels a little more melancholy than Sakurako's.

Yeah, Kasumi and Sakurako just haven't put a label on it because they don't feel a need to. They love and cherish each other and that's mostly enough. (though Sakurako has a little bit of buried frustration.)

Seri and Shouko definitely seem more like the traditional definition of "useless lesbians." Just straight up afraid to advance and risk losing what they have.

Yeah I was going to mention this. They're not the same situations at all.

Patience

I finally got my copy of the last volume in. It's sad to know the series is over now. I've enjoyed it over the years, and I look forward to reading it all again in the future.
