@Rozoro
Yeah, it does seem that way.
There is a standart to how people behave in a romantic relationship, it is instinctual and there are psycology studies on it. It is funny to see how much couples all behavie the same in especific parameters.

 

[Ninjafoo]

She didn't seem opposed.

 

[Akabane]

Tomo is having a melt down thinking about skipping those steps lol

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Tomooooo you're such a cotton-headed ninnymuggins.

 

[Istvan90623]

Okay now this is just a fucking drag.

 

[ichigoteguz]

JUST CLIMB THE STEPS ALREADY! And no I don't mean the physical ones, and yes, we do fully expect fumita to revert to his old style and draw pages for that ?

 

[ichigoteguz]

@Kurogawa Yeap, pretty much, actually crossing that threshold is the most awkward part, but afterwards it's pretty cool.

 

[chiruru]

Just fuck already....

 

[Dead-chan]

So it's like a brother-sister relationship, only you get to eventually fuck that sister,,,,,,,right?

@mahtan
Sexual attraction and certain behavioral patterns are indeed instinctual, however relationship dynamics, experiences, and one's approach to dating are incredibly varied and difficult to categorize because these are based more in personality. An example being who exactly might assume a dominant role in the relationship, one might expect the man to stereotypically assume this role, but it is very common that a woman with an assertive personality might take the lead instead, which is why we have the saying "She wears the pants."

Both Friendships and Romantic relationships are built upon a principle of attraction. For friendships this is often commonality as having similar interests will often make it easier to communicate and associate with that person due to mutual shared interests, while romantically this can be incredibly more varied accounting for things like looks, personality, money, stability, and many other concepts along with familiarity due to perceptual fluency as well as commonality. Ironically though fictional Jun and Tomo may have the blueprints for an incredibly healthy relationship that could stand the test of time better than most, because their relationship is one more based on commonality than looks and other transient attractive qualities that are impermanent.

Looks and personality will often change in a relationship with time and without a basis of commonality for couples when they get older they often find themselves spending less time with one another or even associating with their significant other. Often in fact they will exist in separate parts of the house catering to their own interests while neglecting their other half because they lack common interests and as a result the attraction between them begins to wane and this can often lead to divorce. Which is why if a person can say that they feel that are also friends with their girlfriend or significant other they will often have a healthier relationship as they have a deeper attraction to each other than couples who lack that degree of commonality.

I'm thinking maybe the whole stairs thing is supposed to be symbolic in a way. Like, Jun wants to continue being competitive against Tomo, always as a friend, yet now also as a romantic partner, because not only is it fun for them, but Jun strives to be on the same level as Tomo (or at least close enough to her level in order to 'deserve' her or to feel worthy of her), since he admires her so much for her strength, her speed, her stamina, and her fitness: so those are the qualities Jun wants to constantly be improving in himself. Then the relationship will be one of equals, as he sees it. With the added bonus of still being two friends who are active and playful together, etc.

Ah, but Tomo skipping two steps at a time -- always one step ahead of him -- I think it amuses Jun, and he can continue to admire her...which is all pretty cute. ?

(Assuming that's the sort of direction where this is headed.)

@Rozoro -- That's brilliant! ? I think you're absolutely right. What an interesting assessment.

 

[KafukaPalazzo]

Wait wait wait..... Is this a manga that aknowledge that you can be friends AND lovers? o_o

I'm... actually quite surprised to see that coming from here, but... hey, that's pretty cool!

 

[Mabbo]

Tomo's been stretched too much, she can't contain it any longer.

Give her the D!

 

[andrescutieri]

Even Tomo realizes it took them to long to start this relationship and now they have to skip some steps if we want to see a baby before the manga ends.

BTW @Ninjafoo where does your profile image comes from?

 

[gmkgoat]

Skip some steps, Tomo!

 

[stanloona]
