@Oeconomist @Purplelibraryguy - Exactly, sounds like a recipe for disaster. Imagine if your roommate tells you you two are common law married and you're just... uh, no lol. I'll just be here spending my Valentine's alone, tnx :p

Finally.. she's f*king finally self-aware of how trash of a person she is because she's in love. Minoru's scolding really brought her to her senses. Now if only she can try improving herself as a person and try moving on from her love instead of just doing everything she can do break them up and be an outright trash human.

You’re looking into this too superficially @Kaarme
the bare minimum possibility would be “awkwardness” in the family, if they broke up (they won’t cuz this manga) then worse to come is their parents marriage could become strained. It’s not just about them breaking up but the whole family dynamic. Also you do know that just cuz a feeling is mutual doesn’t mean love will last forever, that’s life.


Either way whatever cuz this manga is wholesome s everything should go easy for them

@OneSingularity Actually, she doesn't raise any good points exactly because of the circumstances. She brings up the whole even if not blood related incest is yadayada thing, while she ignores the fact that those two have barely become a "family". They never even had enough to time to feel like one. The rest of the societal issues she brings are coming from a religious/genetic approach, it was genetic but they couldn't explain it hence they brought religion into it, as why incest is bad, but that again doesn't applies because of the circumstances. She makes a massive rant that has no foundation, and it all comes down of her being jealous of the guy, not because she actually gives a fuck about anything else.

@roankun

You literally asked what was to stop two roommates from declaring that they were married, and were basically told not much, but now you're responding as-if the question had been about one of two roommates making a one-sided declaration.

Where common-law marriage is recognized, some things are recognized as establishing it, but cohabitation is not sufficient, and no one-sided act is sufficient. The most typical thing showing that each party has agreed to a common-law marriage is that they each refer to the other as husband or as wife, or each call themselves married. Other things would include a joint personal checking account.

Thanks for the final explanation and for the chapter ofc.
Ikuno gave the yandere vibes, Naoya better take care of himself

So apparently first cousins count as 4th degree of kinship so that's why cousins can marry .

@Ai9964 She's not a Yandere, she's just a confused but good girl that has emotions she wishes she didn't have.

@sakurabonx3 She's not actually a bad person. Humans are naturally flawed. And especially as a kid in love, she's being worse.

But the harder part is that she kinda has good points... so she can feed her negativity...

She's not against it for good reasons, but there are good reasons to be against it... so it kinda sucks for her.

It's a case where the reason she wants to stop it aren't good, but she has good reasons to stop it.

It's good reason feeding bad intention....

@Istvan90623 Her basic points are solid. They could make things weird for their parents; and as high schoolers, they are very likely to screw things up between themselves and could ruin their parents happiness based on their not so solid relationship.

And that's what is making her situation worse. She knows she's just being jealous and hates herself for it, but she can justify it because their relationship with each other probably isn't the best thing.

It'll be fine cause it's manga; but let's be real, many break ups aren't cause the couples are bad for each other, but because they don't deal with their problems well, or one person just does a major screw up and things break apart). And as teens/young adults, they are much more likely to do a stupid screw up than their parents will.

(I mean, if their parents fell for each other, objectively speaking, they would probably be a good match themselves.)

And because their relationship isn't the best thing, she has justification for the ugly emotions she hates and doesn't wish to have. It's basically feeding something she doesn't want fed.

It just reminds you that being a teenager can suck. You feel sh*t you wish you didn't feel, don't have the emotional maturity to deal with the problems and just have a hard time getting through with your issues.

@JKTV It's still nothing but expecting to break up even before starting a romantic relationship. If you are in love, yet that's all you can think about, it's pretty pitiful. Pitiful like that Iku girl. I understand the cliche "I don't want to confess because if it fails, we can't return to friends like we used to be" way of thinking in school dramas, but if both know it's mutual, then even that condition doesn't exist. What would some awkwardness in their familial relationship, should they break up, be compared to the regret of not going for possibly the greatest love in their life?
This is like… not buying car insurance because you never intend to crash. It's not cynical to say that you might break up in the future if you realize that your present feelings are still very much real. It's just realistic. I mean, both of their parents divorced; Amane's father loved her mother so much she named her after her, but look how they ended up.

It's like not buying a car because you are afraid you will crash one day. Certainly a valid worry, but if you need a car for moving around, it's just something you have to live with.

You're right, but I don't think I'm wrong either. After all, I'm reading this because I want Amane and Naoya to get together. Everything has pros and cons.

To further extend the car analogy, maybe it's more like choosing to ride a motorcycle rather than a regular car.

And to Ikuno, it's not like it matters whether it's Naoya or another man or even another girl. She's just trying to rationalize her jealousy.
