Starting Today, We’re Childhood Friends - Ch. 136 - Childhood Friend and Distance

[SUPER7X]

Snuggling up next to a girl is a great feeling and experience.

 

[SuperOniichan]

If they were childhood friends of the same sex, then THIS closeness would have long ago ended up in the "no homo bro" or "hah, we're both girls, its normal" zone with the expected consequences. Even her self-proclaimed "imouto-san" was very quick to read the atmosphere of the room.

 

[LemonLies]

Normal childhood friend behavior for sure you two, keep it up!

 

[romie68]

My boy is getting bold

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

It's about as Japanese a problem as there is.

 

[BigJ76]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Mangamoz]

He is gonna get eaten alive when she enters puberty.

If she even waits until then at all.

 

[asdfgh1111]

I'm glad she didn't fall for it.

My childhood friend is unusually aggressive chapters with a new cast lol

Thank you for the translation!

The story of childhood friends that they create together is lovely to see. When he does not just get swept up in her narrative, but also tries to take control of it to some extent is wonderful! And the way they both realise that they went a bit too far when viewed by a third party is also great!

Are you trying to get people to kill themselves? Because it's working.

 

[Any_one]

They were this close just to solve some japanese problems (birth rate problems)

 

[gasnomercante]

At least wait until high school to get preggers

"CF cuddles are normal! Or are you embarrassed?"
"CF kisses are normal! Or are you embarrassed?"
"CF weddings are normal! Or are you embarrassed?"

Poor imouto, finally gets a big sis only to have her stolen away by some guy.

In real-life Japan (or most SEA actually) that sort of closeness/"skinship" is normal for same-sex friends.

I had a friend who was transferred to China for a job. Being from California he thought his Chinese coworkers were fucking with him in a ha-ha San Fransisco way when they acted "extremely, extremely gay" with each other; either that or everyone in the company was in fact extremely homosexual. He had explained to him by a more experienced token white guy that no, that's just how things are around here. Cuddling with your bros is just how they do.

I love the surprise faces of the characters. They are pure gold.
I needed this so much today. Thank you @krslvsasuka for the amazing work you do translating this series.

I think it depends on the people. Because there is also such a thing as "gay bravado", when you are not afraid of "no homo" situations because you are such a chad that you do not doubt your sexuality for a second.

That sounds like a great idea! I should try that once we discover how to travel parallel universes so I can have some chance.

I actually really hope the writer does this
