@drig2 @Fri @princeofcups To stop this useless argument:
They are both 13, maybe Nishikata is 14 +/- several days (he is Cancer, as it was revealed several times already, and this chapter obviously takes place in early summer, so his birthday is around the corner), and it's a beautiful time for the first love. This manga feels so real and natural it almost hurts. I wonder where my first (of course, unrequited) childish love is right now, we got lost in 6th grade as she transferred schools. Yes, we was like, 10, and that couldn't be even called "love", but I still remember that girl even now, almost 20 years after.
@tsuu Best wishes, mate. I really hope both of you will be alright together.
P.S. I wonder if Takagi plans to actually confess to him at his birthday. She doesn't even tease him anymore like it was, she just wants him as her boyfriend.
