蜻蛉 is dragonfly, not mayfly. And if we are talking about cool names, maybe going with Chinese lantern instead of bladder cherry for 鬼灯 would sound cooler.

So both siblings are gonna create a possible misunderstanding lol, also proof older bro likes shia too.

Shia is so confusing with her feelings. Probably the most accurate depiction of a girl in a manga that I've read yet.

Nah, I think the older brother is just looking out for his younger brother. The questioning was to make sure he was alright after Shia was kinda cold to him.

I got the feeling he was worried about his little brother's relationship with Shia. From his point of view Takun and Shia were close when they were younger and grew apart. He knows hisTakun has been spending a lot of time with her and enjoys spending time with her.

If it looks like they are fighting it would be natural for the older brother to wonder if they are and if Takun was okay.

I can't say for sure if big bro likes Shia. Is more like he is kinda amazed that her brother can deal with Shia so naturally. She's kinda difficult to deal with after all.

Lil bro is late to his own rumors

 

[Chronigan]

Does anyone else feel like Shia seemed relieved when she says Takun is still a kid?

WTF you saying?! A mysterious hero, fighting evil and righting wrongs, known only as Bladder Cherry sounds like one of the coolest things possible. Who would be insane enough to try and talk shit to a guy named Bladder Cherry? Bladder Cherry clearly operates in a ruleset you can't even fathom. You play checkers, he plays 7 dimensional shogi.

Shia's behavior around Takun can be summarized as her thinking at all times this:

"Oh no he's cute!
Wait no I'm not a shotacon I swear!"

 

[OboKa]

Does anyone else feel like Shia seemed relieved when she says Takun is still a kid?

I think she is starting like him a bit, but she does not want to accept it, so she takes refugee on "He is still a Kid!" if he is a Kid, he is not a potential love partner, so she does not need to confront her feelings.

I think so too, the Older Brother can clearly deal with Shia, but seems she overall has issues with People who are not her Friends, or Takusu/Tsugumu family(or so does seem to me) so now the the Older Brother sees who easy He can be around her and deal with her, he is amazed and ponders if maybe they are already going out. Given how Takusu has gotten so close to her it must be very impressive to the outsider, how Quickly Takusu went from 0 to a Shia Connosieur. (besides he would be amazed if they indeed were going out, he is 13 and she is 16, if my younger brother in middle school got himself a Girlfriend who is my classmate in highschool i would also be amazed)

how is the writing this good, it's amazing that the author's able to show not just the developments of the main duo but also interesting reactions from the secondary characters too. It feels like they've mapped it out and I'm so curious where it's gonna go cause this whole situation feels quite unpredictable at the moment.

And it's cool too how despite ta-kun is maturing, he still has naive ideas about what being an adult is like, he has this scientific framework in his mind that says you have to follow specific bullet points to be an 'adult' - I wonder if the manga will show him realising how truly complex it is to be mature.

Takusu its a very interesting kid protagonist, usually their annoying or bad written, but Takusu its very interesting on his straight and blunt approach to things, and also has great level maturing and self-reflection, the chapter they went to see No Way Home and he felt bad as he realized what he did to Shia maybe awful was great. We tend to see character that see everything as "Valid" in they pursue of Love, but seems to me Takasu would have acted very different in the beginning has he realized what he was doing to Shia via taking advantage of her Hobby, So he is really maturing.

It's interesting because I think early on I believed that tasuku did some immature things, like when he kabedon'd shia san out of nowhere that one time, that can still be seen as immature but now I also think that's just how his mind works.

Tasuku brings an interesting flavor to the rom-com protagonist, cause while their struggles usually come with being too indirect, too shy to express their feelings or something like that - we see here the issues when you become TOO direct. I really like this new portrayal and I wonder if they're other rom-coms that have something similar (I'm not familiar with those if it's actually a more prevalent thing).
