mediocre ass dreams. I know this is how most of the human populus feel, but still... The pressure to conform in Japan is really strong, for what i've been told, so this strikes to me as kind of insidious.
14 yo kids should dream bigger, not think about fucking marriage and shit like that.

 

[Cloverfieldo]

why everyone wants to marry in japan? Hell, I want too, but it's not my dream

 

[frostmonolith]

mie-san actually read everything

 

[Monochrome_Scholar]

That handcuff line cracked me up.
Also "employee worker". Future salaryman right there.

@rabidfish
You'd be surprised how many overworked and unmarried people there are in the world

Plus loneliness contributes to suicide, don't belittle other people dreams even if it is from a manga.

In this case the context would be, I saw my parents happy I want to have a family and be happy too

finally a girl in manga that has regular dreams and not career. this girl is written pretty well, very feminine behavior.

@alphazet god forbid i hurt the feelings of these fictional characters lol.
i also feel there's insidiousness to it because the whole marriage/bride thing is portrayed as very chast and "pure". I don't buy these 14 yo being this virginal and thinking about "oh,cute wife make me lunch, i blush" and nothing else.

I keep seeing this use of marriage in these sort of manga, at first glance it seems the author is trying to portray this "elevated" relationship where the characters aren't just "horny" for each other, but that they REALLY care and like each other BEYOND physical atraction, yet it almost always comes off as insincere, forced and insidious, like they are trying to avoid the "carnal" side of love. You can love and cherish and have a deep emotional bond with someone, doesn't make you wanna not desire them, or that you only have pure, cute thoughts about them. I keep seeing all these portrayals of sexual thoughts as something to avoid, to be ashamed of, to be cast away deep in the mind. And it's an all too common thing, too. Why not just say "i wanna be this girl/boy boyfriend/girlfriend?" because the sexual aspect of this kind of relationship is more upfront. A husband and wife have breakfast together, go shopping, pick up children from school. Sex is only a way to produce offspring (you always want kids when you are married after all, right?) in this scenario. It's more easy to portray a pure, chast, virginal idea of a relationship.

I'm not saying people shouldn't get married, or have kids, or that they can't have this ideals for their lives at a young age, just that i find that most of the time this way of portraying young love is actively avoiding more interesting and difficult topics and that they consciously or unconsciously are trying to push certain ideals (find love young, conform, marry and have children) that, even if not necesarily bad, are certainly just one side of the coin. Also that this portrayal seems to be the standard for these sort of cute, fluffy love comedies, with the complete opposite being the ecchi and harem sub-genre, where sexuality and sexual desire is usually played for laughs and again, the MCs are usually either these chast, virignal zen monks that can always avoid sexual desire, or these horny-ass dogs that can't keep their pants up and almost always get beat up as a result.

The more nuanced manga, where serious thought is put into both the virginal/ideal side of love and the more carnal aspect of it are few and far in between and that's really sad.

haha people in the comments being mad at wanting to obtain a relationship. It likely stems from youth or cynicism but you shouldn't look down on those who want to find the perfect one for them. It's a lot easier to explain when you've finally found someone yourself but that really does change your entire world perspective.

 

[Pakkun25]

Well.. kaede (komura's name) means maple, so she already gave him a hint

 

[mvryvm]

"...it's like i started having an ego as soon as i started like mie-san..."
little does he know..

 

[gregger]

Don't rush this guys, I know sometimes I'm also on the boat of "just get married already" but Im really enjoying the slow pace for their relationship.

I remember the time before getting with my current gf, I could talk like it was nothing with any of my other girl friends, but when it came to her in particular I remember acting like a complete moron trying to think of the right words to say. Take it easy on him lol, he's just a kid

 

[zaf3r]

raising fish and getting married every young maidens dream

 

[Haydrion101]

This really developed into such an amazing Romance story!

The plot was basic but who would have thought it would develop to this!!?!
