Starting Today, We’re Childhood Friends - Vol. 11 Ch. 103 - Childhood Friend and Comforting

She is right that childhood friend sit closer together but the way she bashfully approach him is so cute and reminiscent of the way a young maiden would approach a gentleman

It's funny how I can't see into FMC's personality. I can't tell what her motives are anymore lol

But it's very simple and obvious? She wants the D.. Deep Childhood Friendship with him, eventually followed by marriage lifelong childhood friendship vows and also those very close childhood friends bonding activities that all childhood friends in CF romances or some wholesome hentai end up doing.

IMHO, at first she started with wanting to have friendship part of that ideal youth she read about in her manga, just like other kids want steamy romance out of their favorite shoujo manga (or even ecchi romcom) or starting wacky school club out of manga with new friends who have same nerdy interests and adventures like fighting the school to not disband the club, or other "seishun" stuff that often get semi-mythical status in manga. Then she started to fall for him, and is now both rationalizing it as "being really close" to avoid having to face her new feelings, and at the same time using it as an excuse to get closer to him (like right now in bed) without having to ask him out or date him. After all, she was supposed to a bit of shy bookworm that has trouble connecting to others in real life, despite how bold she always is with male MC.

She may also be afraid that romance will endanger her friendship with him, which is a valid fear. Changing from friends to lovers comes with its own issues.

I mean, look how long Nagatoro's couple were pretending they're not going out, and those were supposed to be teenagers close to adulthood. That whole "couple but not calling it dating" is pretty normal in manga, too normal if you ask me.

nice

this manga is just a good depiction of how girls instinctively or consciously (who tf knows) find ways to invite sexual attention with (im-)plausible deniability to others and themselves

this is why they should be married soon after puberty

no redditors she is not a "dom" or a "top" she's a girl

 

[AlterArsene]

Lol the misunderstanding

One question :

Is this also happened happened in real life?

I mean, i have a female friend, that's in "couple but not calling it dating" situation with me, for 2 years, at least.

And i just want to confirm, could be this ("this" refer to the quoted comment) the case?

If y'all want additional story, just in case if my story feels unrealistic / Ambiguous, then tag me

"This is not what you think, Mom! I was just smelling him!"
"Ara ara ara!!!"

I thought some of MY comments were controversial lol.

I wouldn't go that far, but I know what you mean.

Also worth noting these are fictional middle school students. Don't think too sexually about it lol

it's been impolite to notice these things for a couple centuries, but from inviting him to her room alone, to sitting closer on the bed, to smelling him - the telos of each of those behaviors is sex, whether she understands that or not.

their fathers "not thinking too sexually about it" is why ~1 in 4 girls lose their virginity before high school - and it would be higher if the boys weren't so feminized
