Kyou kara Hajimeru Osananajimi - Ch. 160 - Childhood Friend and Love

[Reimarry]

So, once the childhood friend tropes are cleared they'll date for sure?

That is exactly what she said, yes.

 

[Reimarry]

I’m so glad she actually expressed her feelings clearly there. I didn’t expect that, but it is a very welcome surprise nonetheless.

It's just elaborate, long term foreplay. She's gonna keep edging him for a while still.

I think the "Childhood friends tropes list" is just an excuse. A façade. Kaede herself says so: "I'm so glad I could be childhood friends with you." She is happy and comfortable with their current situation. Of course, she's fully aware that she has fallen in love with Kohuei and that her feelings are reciprocated by the boy, and she knows that this cannot go on forever. She probably just needs some time to adjust to their new situation. I think they'll start dating just before they go to high school.
I love this chapter. They both expressed their feelings and made it clear that their intention was to take a step forward and start dating.
Thank you for the translation!

I was going to post something along the same lines. She's delaying to make sure she's comfortable with the situation moving forward, not "just" to check off a list of tropes. It's about Kaede making sure that thins move at a pace she's comfortable with and that, as she said, she has no regrets going forward.

So we go to the "they are dating but not" route.
I don't have major issues with it... If they don't keep it for, like, 20 chapters

I wonder if it's because I'm reading this back-to-back, with so many chapters already ready and waiting, that I'm not baffled, unlike many readers whom, I assume, needed to wait for the next chapter for an unknown period of time. In my eyes this has been 100% consistent with Kaede wanting to experience everything that she missed, due to moving so many times, in a childhood friends relationship. So, even if she has already fallen romantically in love with Kouhei, she can't agree to dating because that would be the end of active childhood friendship. They would be a couple, with being childhood friends relegated to being a memory. So, no matter what they did next, it would be doing it as a couple, not as childhood friends. It must indeed be due to marathoning the series that this was never a question for me.
