Literally romance at their youth is way too early. Prioritize yourself gurl.

@CQLLIST I disagree with this, you can still juggle work/studies and find room for lovu. I know many girls who are married to their middle/high school sweetheart and been together for a decade now. Relationships take work, but its more emotional work and stuff.


I think Mitsumi is pushing away romance because its foreign to her, compared to studying. I feel for her, cus I was the same but just shy. Dating is definitely scary because it relies on being super open but with some romance involved. Maybe I'm being too biased for Shima or want them back together lol

Ngl, I thought Japan was incapable of romance since they don't have much pda n too much.. ecchi-esque things. Anime has ruined my image of them I guess.



Also kind of ironic she rejects the thing that can help repopulate her small town by prioritizing studying and work, she forgoes romance.

@mshehana sorry to butt into this conversation, but I feel mitsumi mean love and relationship in general, not romance or dating. Japan isn’t big on pda but in private they are as intimate as any other people on earth. I was born and raised in a south east asian country and it’s the same there too. People still date, more privately but with no less emotion. Mitsumi is scared of this particular emotion unlike her best friend back at home. Within that short time of dating, she felt tremendous anxiety and social pressure of being shimas girlfriend, and not knowing if he feels the same as her. Only as someone as strong as her can break it off and still treasure the friendship with ex. She still likes him. If they are meant to be together, they will get there eventually.

The president of the drama club knows.

@nushrathumaira Its ok, its a forum discussion so anyone should be invited to talk ( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`)

Sorry, I don't know much about other cultures, its also varied in America from state to state and town to town.
Its hard to keep up with all of it (。_。)

I think this is a similar discussion Mitsumi and Yamada had. Where Yamada believes dating leads to love and relationships and Mitsumi is the opposite. She believes love and a relationship leads in first before dating (I think.. like Shima?). This is where I agree with Yamada but I can still understand Mitsumi. At least, that's what I remember so forgive me if I remembered wrong. Thats what I interpreted.

Its very interesting the author understands many different views on how relationships work. Or don't work lol. If they are meant to be, I do think it'll take effort on both their parts. Its like I said, relationships take work. Some do the work (or effort) and keep it together and others use each other for night calls when they get lonely. Like when Ririka calls Shima and leans on him a lot. Its sympathetic for Shima but abusive by Ririka. .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.

Even for Yamada, he wants a girl to just fall into his arms and is very open but its not that easy to find someone. He has to put in work and find a girl.
