Tonikaku Kawaii - Vol. 5 Ch. 43 - I went to an aquarium twice to write this aquarium date chapter. I didn't go with anyone though.

RIP manganaka.
On another note, a princess who looks exactly like the main heroine... Nisekoi reference?

Was a really good arc from Nisekoi, too. Just about all of the arcs or single chapters that involved Chitoge were pretty damn good, since they involved decent progress with the main heroine. Especially the Mother one. Really, you'd have had to be blind or not paying attention at all to the whole manga to think anyone else had a shot, to be honest.

"We were lovers before we got married... or I think we were..."
No, no you weren't. In many respects, you're still not.

Right? You'd seriously expect to see at least some development by now. Any development at all would be welcome. I also really liked this story, it's cute and enjoyable, but it's starting to become uninteresting.

@MangaMonger
It's been months. There's no way it hasn't been months with all that's happened. Are you actually trying to claim that the days in the story don't change if you don't see light change to dark and back to light again specifically depicted within the manga's art? Stories don't work that way. Also, you have WAY too much free time if you're actually keeping track of minor details like that.

It really hasn't been months. It was explicitly stated at the moment he called his parents that it had only been a week, at best, since they married, and the trip itself only took a few days to go to his parents and back. It was also the only trip they have taken, so Lysander is kind of tripping balls if he thinks they've gone on multiple trips. It's been at best only a few more days since they started living on the bath house property. At the very least, the laundry chapter can't have happened on any other day but the same one they came back from the trip on. At most, I want to say it can't be anymore than a week or so since the return from Nara and the start of living out back of the bath house, if the first twenty (arguably 18, since the first two were setup) chapters constitutes a week of time by the manga's own admission. So it's easily less than a month, without really thinking very hard about it. Assuming it's been months is being delusional and ignoring the comic's own clearly-stated time scale (again, refer back to the chapter where he calls his parents, just before the trip to Nara).

And both of them are basically starting from no interactions whatsoever with each other, or anyone of the opposite sex for that matter. Neither of them have appeared to be extremely lewd in intents from the very beginning, and only gradually getting more and more forward and bold with time.

They may be married, but the fact that they started off as innocent and pure babies, essentially, at the start of this relationship needs to be factored in. Tsukasa is constantly embarrassed about the littlest of things that you'd think should be normal in a romantic relationship, and Nasa started out thinking just handholding was maybe too lewd. He's gotten to the point he is comfortable kissing his wife, and the night from the Omake felt like it was, at best, a make-out session.

There is progress, but it is gradual. The signs are there, if one looks.
