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 !
bro sorry but you don’t make a romance story and be like NOT mention it! and let people guess, i guess this is one of the manga the author decided to never being the topic at all, it doesn’t have to be hentai for fucks sakes! but i do not believe they ever mention sex at all !!!

I know this ended a while ago but I would be the happiest person in the world if there were a Hana Ni Arashi+ or something along those lines. Maybe with similar vibes to "How do we relationship?".

I can dream!

We: "They're gonna tell their friends they were dating all along and the friends will say they already knew."

Nanoha: "We're getting married!"

We: WTF!?
The friends: WTF!?
Chidori: WTF!?
Nanoha: WTF!?

That was one hell of a curveball, it affected everyone!

My daughter came out to me in HS. Has some wonderful supportive friends. A year or so after graduation, "I'm dating my best friend!". I didn't know she was gay also, but ok. 2 years later she moves out with her and they are planning on getting married in 2025. Of course you are. My wife thinks it might be a phase, but she will be there at the wedding. My son and I are completely outnumbered now. Unless he has 6 boys. Her fiancee is studying cyber security, so we can complain about idiot users opening know infected emails because, "I was curious". and my daughter is going to study...forestry. She wants to be a park ranger while her wife is a cybersecurity specialist. I hope they are happy. I second the motion for a follow up seinen series following these two to college and beyond.

"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."
Okay had to look it up. Japanese phrase is more the "good things hindered by bad things" or "Good times invite bad ones".

But that just leaves me confused. What was the "bad" in the manga? The self imposed "secret" of their relationship? That just ended up being a massively (albeit sweet) nothing burger

EDIT:
This is to build off of what Luna has stated. I'm still not convinced. Yes, the hesitation of the "possibility" of your friends being against being gay. It's still a self created problem. If the manga introduced her family to being openly against being gay, and or her friends being openly anti-gay, then I can say, "okay they want to keep their head down to maintain the status quo".

For a slightly absurd example would be me becoming a NEET because I think there are crazy drivers out there who might drive up on the curb and run me over, and me refusing to come out of my room. Yes, those people exist. And it would be like keeping all my friends who do drive, at arms length because "I think" they might have the urge to run me over on the sidewalk.

I would think with amount of comradery and honesty shared between our two FMCs and their friends up until this point, it was a tad disappointing that the two FMCs didn't trust their friends more.


But here we are, it's a very sweet moment with everyone sharing it together.

Tbf, coming out is never easy and the closer you are to someone, the harder it is because there's the fear they may reject you. Family is even harder because even if they do reject you, you're still tied to them through blood bonds. It's actually easier to come out to strangers because if they have an issue with your sexuality, no skin off your nose (unless they get violent and harass you, ofc...)

So while it turned out to be a nothing burger, that doesn't invalid their hesitation to come out. The fact they waited for graduation to do so is logical in that regard : they're going to different school, so if they react poorly to the coming out, it'll hurt, they'll lose their friends, but at least they won't have to see them every day in class (where they might end up harrassing them, directly or by spreading the news to others).

You may think it's easier nowadays, where being gay is more accepted, but there are still a lot of people against it, unfortunately, so that's still a big hurdle to clear...

Literally no way this will be axed. Young jump practically BEGGED Hiro to do a comic for them. Hiro was kinda reticent about it, not wanting to get stuck in a deadline-heavy situation. YJ p. much told him he didn't have to worry about it. He could just submit a chapter whenever he wanted... Right now he's busy printing money for Young Jump. If it ends, it'll be when Hiro wants it to end.
