@emMeBi86 Do they need to? Beyond that, there was a specific chapter in which they talked about how they felt about each other that leaves no room for "they are just friends".
@Kamui@Gaporigo
When did this all happen? I'm sitting over here thinking Kasumi is written as STILL figuring her shit out after years of living together.
I know there was a chapter waaay back where she began thinking about what Sakurako meant to her after talking to her boss at work or something - I have an old man's memory at the best of times. Can't remember any talk about love (from Kasumi - Sakurako is obviously a love glutton) though. Kasumi is always written as pretty aloof unless there's food around. Like a cat.
@Picks Chapter 51 more or less explains it: Kasumi loves Sakurako but never feels the need to put her feelings on specific words. There is another chapter in which they both talk about it but the "feeling" behind that conversation is basically the same: They love each other and they don't feel the need to put a specific label to their relationship.
