I can't picture them with other people... not with Aotohira nor Koharu >_< <br /><br />And yes miss Kat... it would be great if Suiren were more vocal and expressive but I have the feelign that won't be happening anytime soon.

I'm not sure they'll even entertain the thought of going steady with people they don't love and would do so just because they are compatible with. Of course, it would be nice if it is both..and we'll have no story/conflict..just lovey-dovey. =P<br /><br />True, I do get that feeling as if they are just forcing it to work but I guess maybe some more chapters to see if that is confirmed or because the mangaka is somewhat stepping things up a bit for the issue not to drag so much that it seemed force. If you have read Kimi ni Todoke, that series, focused a lot of chapters on the 'lack of communication' and 'assuming things' between the main couple who are somewhat the same with the ones here...and also just before the first kiss. That was really frustrating and dragging. So I find this one a bit better and it helps that it comes out twice a month ^-^<br /><br />Oh..sorry to hear that. <br /><br /><br /><br />Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05625412560484783992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-37578903944935718022014-07-08T21:14:37.389+08:002014-07-08T21:14:37.389+08:00Well, Edj, I guess Suiren I guess it is because sh...Well, Edj, I guess Suiren I guess it is because she is the one feeling uneasy and everything that she has to make a move.

Yup...Thanks for reading, Anonymous [1] and [2] ^-^<br /><br />Yup, I also thought that they are going to kiss..maybe the mangaka is going for a summer kiss? <br /><br />I think both of you brought up good points ^^ In a way, both have their faults and such with communication as the main big problem and it doesn't help that both are quiet types and not quite good in social interaction. Nevertheless, I think the mangaka is showing that it isn't all happy lovey-dovey in relationships. Like what her two friends mentioned: either you'll wonder if it is worth it and what's this about love which is pretty much hinting on giving up or, every couple have quarrels which is a realistic view. <br /><br />Since both still love each other and seems willing to fix their issues..slowly but surely? We'll see ^^<br /><br />As for compatibility, it is hard to use it as a basis for romantic relationships since most of the time, there has to be love or else, compatibility doesn't amount to much.

Kawasumi isn't a mind reader but you can't expect Suiren to change and voice out her thoughts immediately but you could tell she is slowly changing herself. It isn't easy to change yourself in an instant but it's admirable for a person who used to be so timid and quiet to say her feelings in front of someone she loves. Both of them are at fault here since they're still new in regards on having a relationship with someone. But I think conflicts like this are good for their relationship because not only they would learn from their mistakes but also they would understand each other better.<br /> <br /> Even if Atohira knows Kawasumi it doesn't mean he knows what's best for his friend even like a girl like Koharu or anyone like her. In the end, Kawasumi is the one who will decide all of these things because he knows himself better than anyone. <br /><br />I am interested too on how their relationship will develop from here on. You know I'm kinda curious on what will happen between Atohira and Koharu since it seems something is gonna happen unless the mangaka is just teasing us ^^;Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-89877487590314052312014-07-08T17:48:49.087+08:002014-07-08T17:48:49.087+08:00But the point is,just now he thinks "I gave h...But the point is,just now he thinks "I gave her lonely memories" because only now she said what she wanted . He can't read her mind, plus the fact that he is clueless about relationships, so he did what he thought was enough at the time.<br /><br />That's why Atohira had said that the things will not work out between them because he saw Suiren holding up her thoughts and he knew that Kawasumi wouldn't be able to grasp the mood and do what he thought was right.<br />Atohira knows kawasumi, that's why he had said that a girl like Koharu would be better, because she would talk about what she was thinking and make Kawasumi understand what was necessary to make her happy. He was just saying that a girl that could express herself would be better, and i was referring to this too, not to Koharu exactly.<br /><br />Now Suiren said what she wanted, then i'm expecting to see how Kawasumi will act and how their relationship will develop from now on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-15261546882015110862014-07-08T14:37:05.040+08:002014-07-08T14:37:05.040+08:00Agreed...hug scene was not too bad...like getting ...Agreed...hug scene was not too bad...like getting a diet coke when I ordered a coke..haha...hope we get the real thing before a break up happens!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-74777082024545343992014-07-08T14:33:38.931+08:002014-07-08T14:33:38.931+08:00Agreed!

He is physically strong, while she has proven to be more brave then she looks. She stood up for Kawasumi when he was annoyed of Koharu, then she took initiative to make progress with him in a relationship without being overly suffocating like Koharu did. She is sweet and soft spoken, which can be a really likable trait if a guy thinks girls are normally loud and annoying. He protected her with karate haha...and is soooo adorable. That's why I'd like him if I were her. But, they are painstakingly quiet together and progress is like watching a snail's marathon..so slow. She impresses me with her deep thoughts, but then only speaks in broken short sentences. So she confuses me a bit too. I liked her a lot more in the beginning. Still, I'd be crushed if they broke up because they are still so cute together while trying to fumble through these tough situations and experience "firsts" together, which is endearing. It'd be weird to see him with Koharu now as she'd probably force more than a kiss on him...eek...poor guy would die of a heart attack. lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-24974444478162361222014-07-08T13:20:20.257+08:002014-07-08T13:20:20.257+08:00I didn't think Kawasumi did what he could for ...I didn't think Kawasumi did what he could for Suiren because he did end up neglecting her otherwise he wouldn't even think to himself "I gave her lonely memories" and Suiren ended up being lonely. It's not like Suiren is demanding all of his free time with her, she knows how Kawasumi can be so passionate with karate so she supports him and treasures the moments whenever she has the opportunity to spend time with him like their meet-ups during every Wednesday. She just wants them to talk more even if they couldn't spend time together. I do agree with you about Suiren because at first she didn't voiced out her thoughts but now she's voicing them out to him. I admire for her that because she's doing something in their relationship while I'm still waiting for Kawasumi to do a little bit of effort in regards with her. <br /><br />I disagree that Koharu is more compatible with Kawasumi. Suiren is doing her best for Kawasumi in their relationship and I think that it's not only Suiren's fault for not speaking up a lot more but also Kawasumi as well whose still stumbling over his relationship with her. It's too early to decide whose more compatible with Kawasumi because their relationship is just starting and there will be always conflict between two parties but they need this for their relationship to grow and be more mature as a person. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-66933133184155648602014-07-08T11:54:31.164+08:002014-07-08T11:54:31.164+08:00I know when you're in a relationship it's ...I know when you're in a relationship it's a two way street, but even so each one has their own expectation in a relationship.<br />I say this because i understand Kawasumi, once i was in the same position as him. I have a intense routine, the other person did have had known me this way, but later started complaining that i wasn't spending time enough with him, when i did put all effort to spend my free time with him. What is sad because i have friends in the same position, but their partners are able to understand this kind of routine.<br /><br />In my view, once that Suiren didn't voiced her thoughts and the things she wanted ,Kawasumi did what he could and thought was right. And they ended up in the same old problem in relationships: communication.<br /><br />All of this is leading me to agree with Atohira, that a girl like Koharu would be more compatible with Kawasumi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-10122132293537249362014-07-08T08:47:47.049+08:002014-07-08T08:47:47.049+08:00I think your misinterpreting me, I know he had kar...I think your misinterpreting me, I know he had karate way before he started to have a relationship with her that's why I said 'I know he's passion is karate', I didn't say anything of him slowing down karate for the sake of Suiren but it wouldn't hurt if he put a bit more effort in his relationship with her.

Things seemed too easy and I want them to develop their relationship and personalities more because, I honestly don't understand why are they dating LOL <br /><br />I mean. Why does Suiren likes Kawasumi and viceversa? <br /><br />I used to love this manga so much... Not that I don't love it anymore but right now I feel kinda empty whenever I read it. The author always wastes pages with backgrounds and writes a few things and that's it. Then we have to wait for the next chapter and she does the same with 4 or 5 pages LOL <br /><br />Also, I really liked Suiren at the beggining... At first I percieved her as this shy but beautiful girl that had a very direct personality (I'm saying this because of how she treated Koharu hehehe) But sadly right now I feel her as an empty character. She's dropdead gorgeous and bad at math... She's a good girl but extremely QUIET girl with HUGE sad eyes... and I'm like... is that it? perhaps I'm the one that is failing in seeing more of her personality but sadly, I feel her sooo empty. Aya and Yuri have more personality than her. That at one point I asked myself... Why Kawasumi likes her? I'm asking this in case someone is kind enough to answer hehehe perhaps I missed a chapter or some important detials ;__;<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-17819598666787933582014-07-07T21:41:17.245+08:002014-07-07T21:41:17.245+08:00Had me worried there for a second...

I wonder what Kawasumi is really thinking. And Kawasumi should have kissed her under the rain! Gosh..
