Tbh, I'm not so sure about that. In extra chapter 16.5, Hizumi is also in her panties with Shinba, and they just kiss passionately.

Well, the author herself has chosen to place importance on virginity on several occasions, especially in ch 26.
As for their relationship, they won't break up. Shinba promised her he would never do anything to make her cry, and the manga is about how Shinba and Hizumi learn to build a healthy...
A huge percentage of the people who say "the past doesn't matter" in a manga context, are cucks who are absolutely thrilled that the FMC didn't lose her virginity to the MC, like Slyss, for example. Make no mistake about that xD.
It is true that there are people with existential issues who do not know how to express an opinion respectfully, but publicly stating that "all those people should just pull the trigger" does not make you any saner than they.
I agree. I don't understand why some people try to discredit comments just because they come from foreigners. I mean, if you state your opinion respectfully, what's the problem? Obviously, anyone with a shred of common sense should condemn the insults.
On the other hand, the author isn't...
No, it doesn't confirm anything. Hizumi tells him she feels bad because she has taken some of his "firsts," (first girlfriend, first spare key and first kiss) yet she hasn't given him one in return. When Hizumi asks if she should give him one of her firsts, Shinba’s first thought is "the act."...
It’s just one panel that doesn’t confirm anything per se. Hizumi has also been sexually propositioned to Shinba sometimes as a form of manipulation, knowing he will reject her.
Bed-wetting also means "fear or worrying" so It could be the arc when she meets her mother, she gets inside her head and she starts to fall apart, fearing that Shinba will abandon her.
When Shinba tells her that she doesn't seem to have anything left to experience, it wasn't a simple "are you a virgin or not?" question, which is why Hizumi replies that she's never cried.
The point isn't so much that Hizumi says she'll give him one of her "firsts," but the context: they're in...
It could make sense that he'd get tired of her without them having done anything sexual, since their relationship was more like a mother spoiling her young son: "Don't work, don't pay for anything, don't have goals or dreams, I'll do everything for you." I still believe that in the hotel scene...
Honestly, your view is good and valid too, but notice that guy was just as much of a loser as Shinba, if not more so, so I don't see him asking her for sex, nor do I see Hizumi giving up her first time so lightly. Hizumi often uses that attitude to manipulate Shinba, without it ever leading to...
