[bakanisan]

Yeah keep bragging about your wife's school Shunpei

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[sillybear25]

This manga constantly has me thinking about stuff I've read about other manga like "the lack of drama is unrealistic" or "these kids are way too mature"

This manga comes across as realistic and also super-low-drama. If only 90% of the readers could have experienced such a chill school life...

this mangaka needs a rest for real, how is it possible to launch weekly chapters, i'm worried

 

[peachiestkeen]

the poor levels of reading comprehension of the youth today make me weep. if you have read all the chapters so far and thought there was gonna be a rival, you need to go back to 3rd grade and work on your reading skills.

Phew! That chapter was pretty tense (by Futari Bus standards). For a second, I thought the author was about to introduce a rival for Shunpei.

Instead (the guy clearly observing their relationship over the years and aiming for an art school), he winds up as the author's self-insert.

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

Pretty sure Riku is aware, since he trusts Shunpei about his own relationship, plus he went to the pool with them, his gf and Luluca. This is more of a 5th wheel more than anything

He's even trying to offer advice to a stonewalling Shunpei. But that stonewalling is the difference here.

Rereading this, I realized that Shunpei is really the king of small talk.
Asking about the dog's name to put at ease, then offering the real question he wanted to ask, then filling the silence with An's school good points, that's brilliant way to have everyone in a good mood. He's really a decent person, not just the random cliché nice guy you'll find in most romcoms.

He usually knows what to do in these types of situations for example he encouraged Lulu to talk to An again by saying "she's not as far as you think". He's genuinely a decent fellow

 

[FGRayz]

he is represents us the reader

 

[MilkDrinker]

T'was a very chapter

 

[Isobe-jan]

he is represents us the reader

He represents the author: is into art, observes and fosters their relationship. Maybe it'll go meta and he'll make his debut manga about Shunpei and An.

 

[HydraLN]

Another wingman lets goo

 

[pir0zhki]

Another very melancholic yet wholesome chapter. Idunno how the author does it so well every single time.

 

[ninjacookie]

Misato is chill just like that

 

[JoyceAbsolutZero]

I thought the interaction between the new character, An, and Shunpei was cute. Now give me CRUMBS OF TRUE ROMANCE!!!
