Chikasugiru Futari

[Quamtam]

This has been really great! It's such a refresher reading these 2 and I'm excited as hell to see how it goes. I think the biggest aspects that make their relationship feel so fun to read are:

the lack of focus on the idea of romance itself and trying to define their relationship in words, and putting more focus towards showing their day-to-day relationship
-
treating intimacy/sexuality and physical closeness super casually (chapter 2 was my favourite)
-
akane feels incredibly down to earth; both her and aoi don't really hold back or feel shyness no matter what they're talking about or doing and she doesn't feel like shes put on much of a pedestal (they can trade insults or banter with eachother, and unlike a lot of other manga there's very little focus on how beautiful or popular she is)
-
most of the manga is pure dialouge; there's very little interruptions with long stretches of thought bubbles so the conversations flow great

Instead of asking "how far will they go", it's better to ask "how far will they stop"

 

[FingerDatAss]

This story is quite unique to me in all my years of reading manga here.

fr it feels so nice seeing something like this ngl even if its a lil weird

 

[LupusVir]

"shit-tier friends"? Is that what it's supposed to be? The fuck does that mean?

 

[ZERO___07]

Fuck it 's weird but I still enjoying this shit 10/10

 

[JakiJakub]

Guy has just ED, nothing to see in there.

 

[Heimdal]

I feel like if these to ever were to enter a romantic relationship it would not function well. Apparent lack of physical/sexual attraction among other things that are part of a romantic relationship. Hell guy had a naked girl sitting on his dick and wasn't reacting at all. They could be married friends out of just being their norm not allowing them to be with anyone else but it would still be just as friends.

 

[kurayami4444]

A high fantasy manga that set in modern time

 

[Heimdal]

Well least we know he isn't completely dead inside.

 

[Papa420]

Ngl shes cute af

 

[cyclone2569]

I guess author want us to change our perspective and see both of them as super ultra giga chads who refuse to do sex before marriage

 

[HealthyGuys]

I cant even make any dirty though on them. Its like watching some elementary schooler doing random shit

 

[jahu]

This is porn without sex.

Spoiler

The due could and probably should have sex (one time even 3p) and are constantly inches (or even milometers) away from it, but don't. Surly the girl musty be super horny to come up with all those pervy scenarios, but still even she seems to have no sex drive (like male lead). A paradox.

I expect this will go on without change for as long as the author can get away with without any progress.

Not my cup of tea, goes to discard pile.
