Love it. Normally the same intro in every chapter “Chidori and I are dating…” gets old after a while but I love that this chapter flipped it around to “Chidori and Nanoha are dating”.

So simple, so clear, such a good way to confirm what we’ve all been guessing on the first page by calling back to the beginning. 🤌

Really cute chapter.

This is just a random thought: Why is the localized title "Rainbows after Storms"?
I thought the title was just translated "Flower storm"?

because the localized title (for me) implies "Good times after a great hardship" vs the actual title implying (again, for me) "moment(s) of just pure unadulterated lovey dovey goodness".

"Rainbows After Storms" is the official title that Viz will be using for their English releases that will start next month. "Hana ni arashi" would never just be translated "Flower storm"; rather "storms in flowers" or something. In Japanese it means "good things can be hindered by bad things"; in English it means "good things can be brought about as the result of bad things."

Just because they aren't talking about it doesn't mean it's not happening. I thought the "faint light of dawn" chapter, whenever that was, was pretty clear about what was going on.
Hmm not sure if they did it in the chapter you mentioned, they could have just slept in each other arms. But as you said, it's not because they don't show us that means it didn't happen yeah !

That chapter really didn't feel like they had sex that night. Nor has any chapter made it seem like that (how many times have they even stayed over at each others' house?). In fact its seemed like they've been hesitant to kiss most of the time, so it just doesn't seem like they've taken that step.

I know it won't be the case but I'm so hopefully for a continuation ala Kase-san where their college life is explored, how their relationship changes now that they are gonna be living together, and how they handle their friends and potential new friends with their relationship being known.

I was here for them, waited for years but the moment came and it was perfect, and of course she flumbed the confession too

You know, looking back, one of the great (and rare) thing about this manga is that it's all about their dating life, contrary to the usual manga that are about how the girls eventually get together, then stop after the confession (if we get one at all... )

I really wish more authors follow that trend, instead of painfully dragging around the "will they, won't they". A manga like this one help to show that the story don't end at the confession and can still be a gem simply showing them dating.

Looking forward to the finale, I'll miss those two. ^^
